CALL FOR PAPERS
CONTRIBUTED PAPERS SESSION
Biomedical and Life Sciences Division
Special Libraries Association Conference
June 2004, Nashville Tennessee
The SLA Biomedical and Life Sciences Division invites submissions for
its Contributed Papers Session at the Nashville Conference in June
2004.
SESSION THEME: Beyond Information Literacy: Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
Not all of our library users have "grown up digital" and many of us have
found the need to take a different approach when dealing with established
patrons. Have medical librarians developed programs that have
successfully trained physicians or researchers to use new library
resources? Have academic librarians found new ways of reaching faculty or
essentially "training the trainers"? What resourceful approaches are
corporate librarians employing to keep managers abreast of new information
developments? Please share your creative strategies and successful
programs. Your work will be published electronically in a peer-reviewed
professional repository.
ABSTRACT: A 200-500 word abstract should accurately convey the subject
of your paper, its scope, conclusions, and relevance to the program theme.
Attention will be paid to evidence of scholarship and methodology.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: October 3, 2003.
PAPERS: If chosen, acceptance of your paper reflects a commitment on your
part to: 1) submit the complete text of your paper to the program convener
by March 31, 2004; 2) give a presentation of your paper for no longer than
20 minutes at the SLA annual conference, June 5-10, 2004 in Nashville
(session tentatively scheduled for 9-10:15am, Tuesday June 8th); 3) where
appropriate and feasible, offer a brief demonstration or representation of
your project during your presentation.
