This session features strategies and practices of different types of libraries as they create exciting futures with positive impact in their communities, build knowledge sharing ecologies in their communities, and ensure a strong role for librarians in those communities. The two-hour session entitled Knowledge advocacy, invites papers to speak about: - the key principles of advocacy, - the human issues in knowledge advocacy, - codes of practice for advocacy groups, - checklists for advocacy groups and service providers, - advocacy models and tools, - other forms of support. Submissions: 1. Please send an abstract of approximately 500 words, in English or French, no later than 15 February 2009 to: Elisabeth Freyre, chair of the Programme Committee ([email protected]) 2. Please attach a summary curriculum vitae of the author(s) including their name(s), contact details, professional affiliation(s) and a brief statement on their career(s). 3. Successful applicants will be notified by mid-March, 2009. Papers accepted will be due no later than May 1st 2009. Papers should be submitted in English and/or French with a one-page abstract in English. Papers should not be longer than 20 pages. Papers must be original and not have been published elsewhere. A maximum of 15 minutes will be allowed for the presentation of each paper during the Section's session in Milan.

Therefore, the presentations must be made in English. If the presentation is in French, the text of the paper must be in English. 4. At least one of the authors of the paper must present the paper.

Some national professional associations may be able to help fund certain expenses, and a small number of grants for conference attendance maybe available at: http://www.ifla.org/III/members/grants.htm as well as http://www.cfifla.asso.fr/conferences/milan/boursesmilan.htm or http://www.debibliotheken.nl/content.jsp?objectid=21512&highlights=ifla. ------------------------------------------------------ Elisabeth Freyre chargée de [UTF-8?]mission Bibliothèque nationale de France Délégation aux relations internationales Secteur Europe Quai François Mauriac 75706 Paris Cedex 13 Tél : +33 1 53 79 59 13 Fax : +33 1 53 79 47 37 [email protected] www.bnf.fr ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ "Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
