Subject: Communications from the EU Scientific Publishing conference
apologies for any cross-posting
dear all
the recent conference on scientific publishing in Europe will be of
considerable interest to the li sts given several comments devoted to
digital preservation. Further information on the conference b elow. In
addition you may be interested in 2 documents mentioned during the
conference:
The BRUSSELS DECLARATION ON STM PUBLISHING by the international
scientific, technical and medical ( STM) publishing community is of
significant interest given its references to data archiving and dig ital
preservation - see
http://www.stm-assoc.org/brussels-declaration/
The COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE
COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN ECON OMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE ON SCIENTIFIC
INFORMATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE: ACCESS, DISSEMINATION AND P RESERVATION
issued at the conference is also of considerable interest given its
coverage of digital preservation see
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/digital_libraries/doc/scientific_information/com
munication_en.pdf
Janez Potocnik, the European Commissioner for Science and Research
announced at the beginning of a two-day conference in Brussels focusing
on scientific publishing in Europe that the European Commis sion has set
aside =E2=82=AC5
this year to support the establishment of digital repositories for
storing scientific data.
In addition a further =E2=82=AC25m is being made available for digital
preservation in 2007, while =E2=82=AC10m is to be given by the
commission's "eContentplus" programme to improve interoperabilit y of and
multilingual access to collections of scientific material.
The commission formally launched a new policy communication (see above)
aimed at examining how digi tal technologies can be used to increase
access to research publications and data.The commission be lieves that
easier access to scientific data has a significant role to play in driving
innovation a nd maintaining the quality of research across Europe."The
digital revolution has dramatically impro ved the way in which scientific
information is spread," said Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for
Information Society and Media. "But it also raises new questions about how
to preserve scientif ic information for the future. Today's strategy
outlines how Europe can best capitalise on the exce llent work of its
researchers." It warns that online access does not guarantee its future
availabil ity because digital information has a limited lifetime and needs
to be maintained over time.Therefo re, the commission says better tools
are needed to ensure digital preservation to prevent the loss of
important scientific information."New ideas are usually built on the
results of previous researc h," added Potocnik. "We must make sure that
the flow of scientific information contributes to innov ation and research
excellence in the European Research Area."

Subject: Second announcement of LIBER Think Tank
LIBER Think Tank on the future value of the book as artefact and the
future value of digital docume ntary heritage
24-25 May 2007 National Library of Sweden, Stockholm
The programme and registration for this two day event are now available at
http://abm-centrum.se/ThinkTankPresentation.htm
The future of the book is in question. The future of the digital =
cultural heritage is under debate. The role of the printed text as the =
physical carrier of information and human thought is being challenged by =
digital technology. Concepts such as value and authenticity are =
traditionally based on physical objects and collections. Has the =
artefactual value increased or decreased with digital developments? The =
value and authenticity of virtual information carriers are increasingly =
being discussed. Has the critical mass of "born digital" and digitised =
material created a new digital cultural documentary heritage?
An international panel of speakers from across the cultural heritage and =
literary worlds has been posed with these questions. The aim of this two =
day Think Tank is to examine and discuss whether it is possible to =
arrive at a common understanding of these concepts regardless of whether =
the format is physical or virtual. The intention is to hold a broad, =
inter-disciplinary, participatory debate, with an audience drawn from =
the academic sector, libraries, archives and those concerned with =
managing the future cultural documentary heritage.
The meeting is being organized by the LIBER Preservation Division and =
Collection Development Division. It will be held at the National Library =
of Sweden in Stockholm on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th May 2007. The =
proceedings and discussion will be published by the National Library of =
Sweden. The language of the meeting is English.

Joint EUCLID and EBLIDA-conference on education: call for papers
Lisbon, Portugal
19-21 September 2007.
Librarian at 2010 - Educating for the future
EBLIDA http://www.eblida.org and EUCLID http://euclid.hio.no/ are proud
to announce their first ev er joint conference to be held in Lisbon from
the 19th to the 21st of September 2007.
Background and goals
EBLIDA and EUCLID share the belief that Europe needs strong libraries and
knowledgeable librarians who can help in creating a strong European
economy. Today libraries and the information sector face a series of
complex challenges due to fundamentally changing expectations of users.
The introduction of ICT, born digital material, digitization of large
volumes of traditional material and a shift from the public to the private
domain have profoundly changed the library environment.
The Bologna process aims at creating a European educational space
characterized by transparency and promoting mobility of academic staff and
students, as well as professionals within the LIS Sector in order to
promote employability and facilitate integration. This process is of
vital interest for the academic field as well as the field of practice. So
far European education and research institutions on one side and the field
of practice on the other have, to a large extent, discussed these issues
separately. There is a need to bridge the gap between the
academic field and the field of practice when discussing the future of
European library and information science education, the profession and its
services. In order to promote such a joint discussion, EUCLID and EBLIDA
are arranging a joint conference in Lisbon, Portugal, in
September 2007.
This conference aims to bring educators, researchers and practitioners
together in order to discuss the effects of profound social changes
related to digitization, multiculturalism and the growth of the
knowledge economy. The conference will also consider the impact of the
Bologna process, both in the arena of education and research and also in
professional practice, and the relationship between the two. The
conference will be organized according to the following themes and the
submission of papers is welcomed.
Theme 1. "Cooperation between academia and practice"
How can LIS research be incorporated, integrated and disseminated into LIS
practice? How can research and education be stimulated and enriched by
practice? Can "arenas" or "fora" be established where researchers and
practitioners can meet and discuss"? Are there institutional or other
barriers which make this cooperation difficult?
Theme 2. "Mobility and flexibility"
How can the LIS community work together on issues of mobility and ensure
cooperation between academia and practice for the benefit of students and
professionals in the LIS sector? Are mobility and flexibility in the
employment market-place important for its development?
Theme 3 The role of academia and the LIS associations in the continuous
training of library professionals.
What role can the LIS associations and organizations play in partnership
with the LIS educational sector to ensure that there is relevant and
research based continuous education for the LIS sector as whole. Are the
associations and organizations prepared to meet the needs of its members
and other stakeholders?
Panel discussion: "Towards a common curriculum"
Does the LIS educational sector need a common curriculum or guidelines for
LIS academic institutions? A panel of practitioners and researchers will
analyse and discuss the "European curriculum reflections on library and
information science education" published in 2005 by The Royal School of
Library and Information Science, Copenhagen to see if these
curriculum suggestions meet the needs of the institutions in the future.
Call for papers
The conference will consist of several types of contributions:
* Invited guest speakers
* Submitted papers
* Panel discussion
Authors who wish to contribute papers for the conference should submit an
abstract of approx. 500 words addressing one of the three overall
conference themes "Cooperation between academia and practice", "Mobility
and flexibility" and "The role of academia and library associations and
organisations in the continuous training of the library professionals".
Abstracts should be submitted to Pedro Hipola by email no later than 1st
May 2007 (phipola at ugr.es). The review process will be completed by the end
of May and authors will be notified immediately thereafter.
Accepted papers will be considered for publication in the journal
Education for Information.
A final programme, including details of venue, registration fee,
accommodation and a full list of s peakers will be published in June.

Date: 2 Feb 2007
From: Joseph B. Zicherman <jzicherman [at] paper-preservation__com>
Subject: Deacidification
Provenance, LLC a start-up company located in Berkeley, California has
been researching new approaches to address paper
deacidification--preservation needs of the archival community for
the past several years.
The company's activities were assisted initially by the award of a Federal
SBIR [Small Business Innovation Research] Grant which has
assisted in the development of mechanized deacidification
technologies for use with manuscripts and books. To date a working
prototype manuscript treater has been developed and the status of
that aspect of the company's research efforts can be reviewed in a recent
SBIR project summary. This can be downloaded at
<URL:http://www.paper-preservation.com/
PDFs/10-5-06-CREES-edited.pdf>
Other deacidification products and approaches are currently being
produced and marketed for in-house use by conservators and
archivists under the trade name PaperSaver. These include bulk
treating formulations for use with in-house spray equipment as well as
both conventional and pump-spray aerosol products and dispensers including
those which do not utilize hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon
chemical propellants.
Independent lab evaluations of the effectiveness of the PaperSaver
products have been conducted. These can be reviewed in results of testing
conducted by the Canadian Conservation Institute. They
considered changes in fold endurance and tear index of acid paper
treated with PaperSaver formulations. The CCI report can be
downloaded at
<URL:http://www.paper-preservation.com/
PDFs/CCI-PaperSaverEval-1206.pdf>
PaperSaver products can be purchased at the company's web site as
well as through various distributors providing materials to
libraries and archives in the US and elsewhere. These include the
University Products catalog for conservators, TalasOnline

Call for papers
16th Symposium BOBCATSSS 2008 (Zadar, Croatia)
Theme: Providing Access to Information for Everyone
Access to information is vital for the personal and social growth of every
individual. However, many people are facing barriers in accessing
information, whether they are technical issues - like infrastructure,
standards or the usability of services; political and legal issues - like
copyright or censorship; social issues - like information literacy or
information behaviour of different user groups; or economical issues -
like cost of information. The goal of the BOBCATSSS 2008 symposium is to
explore access to information for everybody from the technical, political
and legal, social and economical point of view. The symposium would like
to identify the existing barriers in accessing information and to offer an
overview of new concepts, ideas and examples of good practice in order to
raise awareness and achieve possible solutions. Invited are contributions
in a form of a paper, workshop or a poster covering the following topics:
Technical aspects:
* Infrastructures, standards and interoperability for universal access to
information * Open access supported by open source
* Digital repositories and document server (long term preservation and
access) * Usability, service and interface design
Political aspects:
* Repression via information - withdrawal/censorship
* Bills and laws for LIS - an international composition
* Copyright aspect of open access and open source initiative
* Role of national/regional/local government in the development of
information institutions
Social aspects:
* Digital divide
* Information professionals in the information society
* Information literacy (a holistic approach)
* Information ethics
* Information behavior of different users groups
Economical aspects:
* Cost of information
* Cost of electronic resources
* Licensing agreements
* Digital library costs
The target group are students. We are especially inviting workshop
contributions or papers given by students or teams of students and
teachers. For further information and guidelines for the abstracts please
visit our website: www.bobcatsss2008.org <http://www.bobcatsss2008.org/> .
