CALL FOR PAPERS: The Fourth International m-libraries Conference
"From margin to mainstream: mobile technologies transforming lives and
libraries"
24-26 September 2012 at the Open University, UK
Mobile technology has transformed so many aspects of our lives: how we
work, how we communicate, how we study and how we play. Since the
first successful M-libraries conference in 2007, libraries around the
world have made huge advances in harnessing the technology to improve
and enhance their services. The Fourth international conference will
bring together researchers, technical developers, managers, educators,
and library practitioners to review achievements to date and consider
the creative challenges and opportunities ahead.
We are seeking lively contributions on the following broad themes:
• Transformation – of services, learners or providers
• Inspiration – innovative projects which challenge current thinking
and practice
• Implementation – the experience of implementing new mobile
technologies
Papers will be short – 15 minutes for the presentation plus time for
discussion/questions.
Please submit your abstracts (up to 300 words) by 15th of March 2012
to m-libraries...@open.ac.uk
These will be subject to peer review and authors will be notified by
26th of April 2012.
Please note that you will not be asked to submit full papers in
advance of the conference. However, for those who would like to submit
a full paper after the conference for possible publication in a book
of proceedings, we will contact you during or after the conference.
