UKSG Annual Conference - Call for Topics

As you may know, the UKSG runs a very successful annual 
conference in April of each year. For the first time we are 
inviting suggestions for topics and speakers for the next 
conference in Torquay, UK to be held on the 30th March-1st April 
2009.

The conference is attended by librarians, publishers and 
intermediaries, and addresses the standards, processes and 
technologies of scholarly communication as well as community 
initiatives - for full details of our audience, and feedback from 
previous conferences, please visit: www.uksg.org/

Suggestions should be in the format of a brief synopsis and ideas 
for speakers to talk on that topic.  You may propose others as 
speakers and we will contact them should the topic be picked up 
by our planning committee.  We would particularly welcome 
submissions from those in the HE/FE/Corporate/Government or NGO 
library community as well as those involved in other initiatives 
of interest to the UKSG community (www.uksg.org/about). 
Suggestions may be for plenary sessions or for the smaller break 
out sessions.

All speakers receive travel expenses and accommodation in 
addition to the free delegate place.

You can review previous annual conference presentations at: 
http://www.uksg.org/events/annualconference.  If I can provide 
any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to 
contact me.

Please send your suggestions/proposals (not the final 
presentation at this stage) to: marketing@uksg.org or 
bev.acreman@tandf.co.uk by the end of June 2008.
