Call for Papers Acquisition and Collection Development Section

*Theme: *
Libraries as Publishers

 IFLA's Acquisitions and Collection Development Section
<http://www.ifla.org/acquisition-collection-development> invites you to
submit a proposal for its open programme at the 81st IFLA World Library and
Information Congress to be held in Cape Town South Africa, 15-21 August
2015.
Session theme

In its 2015 Open Programme, IFLA's Section on Acquisitions and Collection
Development Section will begin to explore the topic of *"Libraries as
Publishers"* and envisions an expanded version of this topic (including
case studies) for its 2016 Satellite Meeting.  We are seeking 5-6
thoughtful, high quality papers of 10-15 minutes each, addressing the
following types of strategic and overview aspects.  The goal is to present
this emerging strategic topic in a global setting.

*We invite librarians and publishers to submit in the following areas:*

   - What is library publishing?  What types of libraries are publishing?
   - Why - what issues are libraries addressing and how are these being
   solved?
   - Relationship of library publishing to collection development activities
   - Content – what is being published?
   - Business models in use – what types and with what success? How can
   libraries sustain such efforts financially?
   - Artifact models - what new formats/entities/things can be published?
