Dear all,



*Reminder*



Call for presentations is open for the



*49th Annual Conference of IASA, from 1-4 October 2018, at the Institute of
African Studies (IAS), University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana.*



Conference theme:

*Access and Accessibility - Archival Policies and Barriers in the Age of
Global Information Exchange*



Open and equal access to information is in high demand, yet may be impeded
by social, cultural, and economic barriers. The question of access at the
same time encourages discussions on the technical, legal, and practical
modes of accessibility.



The program committee for the IASA 2018 conference invites proposals
focused on the prospects and limitations of global and local access and
accessibility to audiovisual archives, as well as on issues of discovery,
care, preservation and dissemination of our sound and audiovisual heritage.



Possible sub-themes include:

•             Connecting users, materials, and communities

•             Using semantic technologies to aid description and access

•             Language diversity and oral history collections – best
practices of accessibility

•             Digital preservation methods for efficient access



The program will include papers, posters, tutorials, and practical
workshops.



Please submit your proposal by using the online submission form at:

http://2018.iasa-web.org/call-presentations



**** The deadline for submissions is: 23 February 2018 ****
