FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS

The 19th Polar Libraries Colloquy
"Poles apart - poles on-line"

17-21 June 2002
Copenhagen, Denmark

The Danish Polar Center, which is organizing the 19th Polar Libraries
Colloquy, invites contributions for oral and poster presentations for
the conference.

The theme of the conference refers to the many library and archive
collections becoming accessible on-line. New databases seem to become
public almost every day, and thus the distance between our collections
diminishes. Where are we right now? What new iniatives are in the
pipeline? How will we be co-operating in the near future? Will we see
electronic collections across the Polar regions?

At this early stage you are asked to submit the title of your proposed
presentation (there will be a later deadline for abstract submission),
in order to provide the organizers with sufficient information for the
compilation of a tentative programme for the conference.

Deadline for submission of titles is: 1 September 2001
