IFLA Acquisitions & Collection Development Section is calling for papers for this year’s upcoming Congress on the theme “Treating Print in an Increasing Digital Collection: Issues, Dilemmas & Directions” The sponsors admit that reader preferences indicate “a leaning towards more online resources” contributing to “the perception of print potentially becoming endangered.” However, the contention here is that print “will not disappear” and that “print in the short and long term, will contribute to the overall Congress’ theme “Libraries: A Force for Change,” particularly as print “integrates with a growing digital collection.”
Final Call for Papers- The Third Annual Collections Research Forum
