[okfn-discuss] Call for proposals- ELAG 2015

Mon Dec 8 10:07:07 UTC 2014

**Apologises for cross-posting**

ELAG 2015 (http://elag.org/) will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, from June 8th to the 11th 2015.

The theme chosen for this year is DATA. Libraries are getting involved in managing data sources that are different from the ones they were used to. The most obvious example is the role of academic libraries in managing research data, but there is more. What kind of new roles are libraries adopting ? What problems do libraries encounter ? What skills do librarians have or need to adopt to fulfil these new roles ?

We welcome you to share your thoughts on this topic by submitting your proposals for presentations, workshops and Pre-Conference bootcamps on the following topics:

-What type of data are libraries supposed to manage ? And from which domains? Bibliographic, Cultural Heritage, -Research information, Learning objects ?

-Are data sets an integral part of a library collection?

-Preservation and reuse.

-Data Management Plan support

-The art of data citation

-Digital literacy in data management (storage, identifiers, checksums)

-The roles of libraries when implementing MOOCs and managing learning objects.
