The original text of this page read:
The Program Committee of the DSUG 2006, Bergen meeting is pleased to invite you to submit proposals for presentations at this meeting. Authors may submit abstracts for one of the following presentation formats:
- Long Presentation
- Short Presentation
- Poster
- Workshop or tutorial
The general focus of the meeting is on tools to aid embedding into institutional systems both internal and external, and the use of DSpace in different areas of institutional activity (for example, Records Management). Nonetheless, any topic relevant to DSpace (both technical and administrative) is welcomed. Abstracts should be of approximately 200 words and should be submitted by 3 March 2006 by email to dsug2006_at_uib.no.
All presentations should be delivered in English.
Presentation format
Long presentations will take place in the main conference hall, and should be approximately 25 minutes in length, followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Short presentations will take place during break-out sessions, and should be approximately 10 minutes in length and will act as catalysts for the discussions which will take place in those sessions. There will be break-out sessions on both technical and administrative issues.
Posters will be presented during coffee breaks, and will be available in the conference venue for the duration of the event. There will be an allocated time for presenters to stand by their poster for discussion.
Workshops and tutorials will be provided on both technical and administrative aspects of DSpace, and abstracts for these should include the topic and a guide to how the session should be run. If the workshop or tutorial is to be interactive we can offer assistance in organising and running it.
Evaluation
Abstracts will be reviewed and evaluated by the Program Committee. Confirmation of acceptance or rejection will be provided by 10 March 2006.
