Dear Colleagues in Brazil, I wish to bring your attention to an important global public conference, Life and Literature. http://www.lifeandliterature.org/ We hope scientists, librarians, and publishers in Brazil that are concerned with biodiversity literature can attend. The Biodiversity Heritage Library is organizing a conference, Life and Literature, that will convene librarians, biologists, computer scientists, publishers, students, and other stakeholders to set the agenda for biodiversity literature digitizing and its networked environment for the next four to five years. The purposes of the Life and Literature Conference are: Engagement of current and future constituencies concerned with biodiversity literature. Integration and interoperability with major biodiversity and digital library programs. Further innovative integration of digitized literature with biodiversity databases. Publishing models and legacy scientific literature. Setting the agenda for the BHL for the next 4 - 5 years. The conference will be held at the Field Museum, a leading biodiversity research and education center, in Chicago from November 14 to November 15. Though the exact program schedule is being worked out, in addition to plenary sessions with noted speakers, there will be split concurrent tracks covering such themes as biodiversity informatics, publishing models, digital libraries, and humanistic and artistic intersections with biodiversity literature. Please share this information with your colleagues.
