[Dspace-general] Institutional Repositories Program-ALA 2005

[Nelson, Rose]

Hello, 

I'm hoping that some of you on the Dspace list will be able to join us for this program. 

The Emerging Technologies Interest Group of LITA is sponsoring a program on policies and practices of institutional repositories for ALA 2005.  The program will be on Monday, June 27, 2005 from 8:30-11:00; the ETIG business meeting will follow.  Location: TBA. 

This program will explore policies and practices related to institutional repositories (IR).  We will begin the session with a definition and introduction of IR's.  Next, we will look at how policies and practices shape IR's by examining copyright issues, collection development policies for IR's, and best practices or lessons learned in implementing an IR.  Panel speakers include:

Marcy Rosenkrantz, Director of Library Systems from Cornell University;
Robert McDonald, Assistant Director of Libraries, from Florida State University;
Susan Gibbons, Assistant Dean for Public Services from the University of Rochester;
Catherine Jannik, Digital Initiatives Manager from Georgia Institute of Technology;
Sandra Kerbel, Director of Public Services for the Library from the University of Pennsylvania;  
and Rose Nelson, Library Technology Consultant from the Colorado State Library will facilitate the panel discussion.

Feel free to pass this message on to other colleagues. 

Thanks,

Rose
