Dear colleagues,
With apologies for cross-posting, I would like to draw your attention to the
following conference to take place on 28 and 29 January 2010 at the British
Library Conference Centre.
The conference is organised by Nereus, the European economics library
consortium of which I am chair ( http://www.nereus4economics.info) and the
aims of the event are twofold:
1. To disseminate the outcomes and lessons learned of Nereus's 2.5 year
EC-funded project, NEEO, which is building a single multi-lingual portal
called Economists Online to the economics content contained in the
institutional repositories of Nereus member libraries.
(http://www.neeoproject.eu) The project funding finishes in March 2010 and
at this time has well over 20,000 full-text economics research articles and
counting.
2. To discuss progress with subject repositories in Europe, the USA and
Australia. For this we have a clutch of international speakers.
Detailed information about the conference is as follows:
"A major international conference will be taking place at the British
Library Conference Centre in London on 28-29 January 2010:
Subject repositories: European collaboration in the international context
The conference, the first of its kind, will explore the development of
subject repositories worldwide and will see the launch of Economists Online,
the key output of an EC-funded subject repository project managed by the
Nereus consortium of top European economics libraries. Nereus members will
showcase this subject repository in both plenary and parallel sessions,
sharing lessons learned and engaging delegates in discussions of the main
issues such as content recruitment, search and retrieval services, usage
statistics and data sets. The two-day programme will also put Economists
Online into the wider context and will allow delegates to hear about
repository trends across three continents.
Among the speakers are Chuck Henry, President of the Council on Library and
Information Resources, Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for
Networked Information, Cathrine Harboe-Ree, University Librarian at Monash
University, who led the ARROW project and is involved in leading the ANDS
project, and Christian Zimmerman, Economics professor at the University of
Connecticut. Professor Nick Barr of the London School of Economics will
launch the Economists Online portal.
The delegate fee is £155 and includes attendance at plenary and parallel
sessions, refreshments during breaks, two lunches and VAT. For further
information on how to book, speakers, travel information and hotels, please
visit http://www.neeoconference.eu
Please book soon to avoid disappointment!
The conference will be of interest to library directors, repository
managers, publishers and economists. I would be very grateful if you could
take a look at the conference website and disseminate it within your library
and your institution as appropriate. I hope that some of you may decide to
attend yourselves.
Many thanks in advance for helping Nereus to disseminate information about
the conference.
Best wishes
