CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) will be meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, August 18 - 24 2002.
As part of the conference, the Section on Reference Work is is planning an Open Session entitled:

"Globalization of Reference Services" with the following possible subthemes:

Cultural differences and reference work, e.g. origins and attitudes: training reference librarians for a pluralistic world/ sensitivity of reference librarians towards multicultural diversity
Reaching out to multicultural populations in reference work
New roles for reference librarians, e.g. comparison of different forms of reference work, reference work in different situations with different tools
Cooperation/collaboration of reference work e.g. how are reference services to be defined in a world of networked knowledge? What would "cooperative reference" look like?
