Call for presenters for the joint CTP/CPS session, CEAL 2013


Dear CEAL members,

The theme of the coming 2013 CEAL annual conference in San Diego will be “Open Access and Discovery in the Academic Universe: Next Steps for East Asian Studies Research and Library Development.” The CEAL committees on technical processing and public services will organize a joint panel focusing on the issue of open access and library services. The joint session will last for 1.5 hours. In addition to a guest speaker, we need two more presenters from the CEAL community. If you're interested in giving a presentation on open access and its impact on library services for East Asian studies and librarianship, please submit a proposal to us by December 15. We will review the proposals and announce the results in early January.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
