*GET READY to Submit Your OR2014 Proposal*
/A message from the Open Repositories 2014 Conference organizers/*
*
As the year turns it's time to look forward to the Ninth International
Conference on Open Repositories <http://or2014.helsinki.fi/>,
OR2014 (#or2014). The conference will take place June 9-13 in Helsinki,
Finland hosted by University of Helsinkis twin libraries: Helsinki
University Library <http://www.helsinki.fi/library/> and the National
Library of Finland <http://www.nationallibrary.fi/>.
The theme this year is "Towards Repository Ecosystems" emphasizing the
interconnected nature of repositories, institutions, technologies, data
and the people who make it all work together. There are several
different formats (see below) provided to encourage your participation
in this year's conference. With the deadline for submissions fast
approaching the organizers invite you to review the call for proposals
here:http://or2014.helsinki.fi/?page_id=281, and to submit your proposal
here:https://www.conftool.com/or2014/ by Feb. 3, 2014.
KEY DATES
3 February 2014: Deadline for submissions
4 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to general conference
17 April 2014: Submitters notified of acceptance to interest groups
9-13 June 2014: OR2014 conference
SUBMISSION PROCESS
/Conference Papers and Panels/
We welcome proposals that are at least two pages and no more than four
pages in length for presentations or panels that deal with digital
repositories and repository services. Abstracts of accepted papers will
be made available through the conferences web site, and later they and
associated materials will be made available in a repository intended for
current and future OR content. In general, sessions are an hour and a
half long with three papers per session; panels may take an entire
session. Relevant papers unsuccessful in the main track will
automatically be considered for inclusion, as appropriate, as an
Interest Group presentation.
/Interest Group Presentations/
One to two-page proposals for presentations or panels that focus on use
of one of the major repository platforms (DSpace, ePrints, Fedora and
Invenio) are invited from developers, researchers, repository managers,
administrators and practitioners describing novel experiences or
developments in the construction and use of repositories involving
issues specific to these technical platforms.
/24x7 Presentation Proposals/
We welcome one- to two-page proposals for 7 minute presentations
comprising no more than 24 slides. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning
Talks, these 24x7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on
conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated discussion /
question and answer session involving the audience and whole block of
presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced
survey of like work across many institutions, and presenters the chance
to disseminate their work in more depth and context than a traditional
poster.
/"Repository Rants" 24x7 Block/
One block of 24x7's at OR14 will revolve around "repository rants":
brief exposés that challenge the conventional wisdom or practice, and
highlight what the repository community is doing that is misguided, or
perhaps just missing altogether. The top proposals will be incorporated
into a track meant to provoke unconventional approaches to repository
services.
/Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"/
We invite developers, researchers, repository managers, administrators
and practitioners to submit one-page proposals for posters,
demonstrations, technical how-tos and technology briefings. Posters
provide an opportunity to present work that isnt appropriate for a
paper; youll have the chance to do a 60-second pitch for your poster or
demo during a plenary session at the conference. Developer "How-To's"
will provide a forum for running a mini-tutorial or demonstration in the
developer lounge, if there are enough interested parties.
/Developer Challenge/
Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories
are software developers who work on repository software or related
services, and once again OR2014 will feature a Developer Challenge. An
announcement will be made in the future with more details on the
Challenge. Developers are also encouraged to make submissions to the
other tracks--including posters, demonstrations, and 24x7
presentations--to present on recently completed work and works-in-progress.
/Workshops and Tutorials/
One- to two-page proposals for Workshops and Tutorials addressing
theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are
welcomed. Please address the following in your proposal:
The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey
Length of session (e.g., 1-hour, 2-hour? half a day? whole day?)
How many attendees you plan to accommodate
Technology and facility requirements
Any other supplies or support required
A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session
Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session
Submit your paper, poster, demo or workshop proposal through the
conference system. PDF format is preferred. Please include presentation
title, authors names and affiliations in the submission. The conference
system is now open and is linked from the conference web site:
http://or2014.helsinki.fi/
See you in Helsinki!
