[BOAI] Subject Repositories conference

[Peter Suber]

[Forwarding from Kieron Jones.  --Peter Suber.]

Hello there

This is a final reminder about a major international conference taking place
at the British Library Conference Centre in London on 28-29 January 2010:

*Subject Repositories: European collaboration in the international context*

The conference, which is the first of its kind, will explore the development
of subject repositories worldwide and will see the launch of Economists
Online, the key output of an EC-funded subject repository project managed by
the Nereus consortium of top international economics libraries. Nereus
members will showcase this subject repository in both plenary and parallel
sessions, sharing lessons learned and engaging delegates in discussions of
the main issues such as content recruitment, search and retrieval services,
usage statistics and data sets. The two-day programme will also put
Economists Online into the wider context and will allow delegates to hear
about repository trends across three continents.

Among the speakers are Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for
Networked Information, Cathrine Harboe-Ree, University Librarian at Monash
University, who led the ARROW project and is involved in leading the ANDS
project, Christian Zimmermann, Economics professor at the University of
Connecticut, and Javier Hernández-Ros, Head of Access to Information Unit,
Directorate General for Information Society and Media, European Commission.
Professor Nick Barr of the London School of Economics will launch the
Economists Online portal.

The delegate fee is £155 (approximately €170 or US$245) and includes
attendance at plenary and parallel sessions, refreshments during breaks, two
lunches and VAT. For further information about how to book, speakers, travel
