*Call for Proposals and Papers*:
Open Access (OA) resources are important to the information needs of
today’s researchers. Over the years, the number of OA resources has grown
substantially and will continue to do so. They are here to stay. This
satellite will address how libraries and others are meeting the challenges
of Open Access. It will attempt to answer how libraries are staffing and
organizing operations to support OA. Another focus will be how libraries
identify OA resources and market them to their communities. The satellite
will also consider long term preservation of OA resources.
The program will be divided into three sessions titled "Long-term
preservation of Open Access Resources", "Marketing of Open Access
Resources," and "Discovery and Access of Open Access Resources”.
Librarians, information professionals, researchers, editors, and others are
invited to submit paper proposals addressing topics that relate with one of
the three session themes. Examples of such topics include (but are not
limited to):
Selecting and identifying OA resources
Discoverability of OA resources and datasets
Best practices for staffing and organizing OA operations
Promoting and Marketing OA resources
Partnerships between vendors and librarians for OA
Institutional Repositories and long term preservation solutions
Recruiting authors for OA publishing

Authors should submit proposals only if they are able to attend the
Satellite Conference. At least one author for each accepted paper must
attend the Satellite Conference presentation. This requirement ensures that
the author(s) of the papers and attendees of the conference have the
opportunity to engage in thoughtful discussion with colleagues about the
presentations and other related topics, leading to a more robust
professional experience.
*The deadline for final papers is **July 3, 2017.* Papers should be
original work written in English, not published elsewhere, and should be no
longer than 10 double-spaced pages using a standard 12-point font. Authors
will be required to present their papers at the IFLA SOCRS Satellite
Conference. Presentations should last about 15-20 minutes and time will be
allotted afterwards for questions and discussion. Presentations should be
engaging, interactive, and designed to elicit thoughtful discussion from
the audience. Use of PowerPoint or other visual program is encouraged for
the benefit of the entire audience. The official language of the Satellite
Conference is English.
