Sailing: Connecting Islands in a
Digital World
40th IAMSLIC Conference and 2nd PIRG
Meeting
September 14-18, 2014
NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA
Sailing has been a main means of
transportation for the nations of the Pacific Ocean.
Navigators have traditionally sailed their
canoes from island to island, from village to village, from people to people,
on
short and long journeys, for trading purposes, and many times, to share and
exchange goods, their knowledge and their experiences. Likewise, IAMSLIC has
journeyed, drifting along the oceans for forty years to connect five Regional
Groups, sharing marine and aquatic information, skills, and
knowledge.
The vision and passion that started forty
years ago continues to drive this specialized librarian association into the
digital world. This year, our concerns are mainly focused on our commitment
with
open access and repository contents, digitization, long-term preservation of
important documents and collections, data management, partnerships and
strategies to make available the information of the Pacific Islands. New
technologies transform the world, but only with dedicated and enthusiastic
people will this change be positive and creative.
We invite you to view a
list of suggested topics on the Call for Proposals
page. Year 2014 will be a unique historical opportunity to
look backwards and forwards within IAMSLIC besides networking with veteran and
contemporary colleagues, during breaks, the welcome reception, closing banquet
and optional field trips. And of course, there will be individual
presentations,
panel discussions, posters, quick green flash talks and vendor
participation.
A Special
Poster Corner for the History
of IAMSLIC will be open during the whole Conference to
remember and share images of persons, moments, conferences, workshops, Guin
Auctions, achievements and thoughts about how IAMSLIC connects all of us
members. It will be dedicated to the retirees and those who sailed this
Association from the very beginning.
Prior to the conference we have scheduled
a half day Workshop on a subject that will be important for the Region. The
date
and details will be announced in due course.
This will be our second year to organize
an Aquatic Commons Work Party for the afternoon on Thursday, September
18th. There will be room for approximately 15 volunteers to help an
organization
by submitting their content to the Aquatic Commons repository. You can gain
experience with Aquatic Commons and contribute to its success. If you have
suggestions for a Pacific organization that would benefit from our help, please
let Guillermina Cosulich know.
It is a pleasure to be hosted by the
Pacific Islands Regional Group!
We invite you to join us for the 40th IAMSLIC
Annual Anniversary Conference and 2nd Pacific Islands Regional Group
(PIRG) Meeting to be held September 14-18, 2014 at the Secretariat of the
Pacific Community (SPC) located in Noumea, New
Caledonia.
On behalf of the Planning Committees, we look forward to seeing
you in September !
