[InetBib] Call for Participation in IATUL Special Interest Groups

["BIBDIR IATUL \[TUZEBIB\] via InetBib" <inetbib@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Call for Participation in IATUL Special Interest Groups

To complement the traditional International Association of University Libraries 
(IATUL<http://iatul.org/>) annual conferences and to overcome the unavoidable 
time limitation of a yearly meeting, special interest groups are meant to 
provide a continuous opportunity to create new approaches to challenges in 
librarianship by joint international efforts.

Each task force focuses on a particular subject area and defines its own terms 
of reference, together with long and short-term goals. Task forces are chaired 
by senior librarians who will be appointed by the IATUL Board.

Special interest groups will be encouraged to present the results of their work 
at Annual IATUL Conferences. The standard means of communication for Special 
Interest Groups will be e-mail and video conferencing.

Following requests from its membership, the International Association of 
University Libraries offers the opportunity for IATUL member library personnel 
to participate in its


*         Special Interest Group for the Advancement of Library Services in 
Emerging Countries, SIG-ALICE

*         Special Interest Group for Library Services related to Research 
Impact Measurement, SIG-METRICS

*         Special Interest Group for Library Services related to Research Data 
Management, SIG-DATA

Beyond the support of their library director for their participation, members 
of special interest groups are expected to actively engage in communications 
such as email and video phone calls between meetings at conferences. They 
assume responsibility for achieving the targets suggested by the group and 
adopted by the IATUL Board of Directors, and implement projects assigned to 
them by the chair of the special interest group.

For expressions of interest or, for individual questions or further information 
please contact the IATUL Office at iatul@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:iatul@xxxxxxxxx>.

More information on IATUL<http://iatul.org/> and the Special Interest 
Groups<http://iatul.org/services/special-interest-groups> is available on the 
associations website.

We look forward to your applications.
