IFLA 71st General Conference (Oslo, August 14–18, 2005)
Theme: “LIS Journals - a Voyage of Discovery beyond Anglo-American shores”
The IFLA LIS Journals Section Interim Standing Committee invites Library and Information Science journal users, authors, editors, LIS educators and publishers to submit paper proposals dealing with strategies to optimise the international impact of the research and professional expertise of countries with national languages spoken by relatively small numbers.
Proposals may focus on, but not limited to:
How do LIS journals in languages other than English, particularly those in languages spoken by smaller language communities, survive and thrive?
How do national policies (in areas such as higher education and research) impact on them?
What do these LIS journals contribute to the world literature of LIS?
What is their impact?
What barriers are there to the world-wide diffusion of their contributions?
To what extent are they covered in the international indexing and abstracting databases?
What can be done to bring their contributions to the attention of the English-speaking world?
What role do they play in bringing contributions from the Anglo-American LIS journals to the attention of their readers?
