[Carlos Palombini]

Call for Presentations
We are accepting proposals for presentations, papers and panels for the
joint, 44th IASA Annual Conference and 10th BAAC Annual Conference

Vilnius, Lithuania, Sunday 6 – Thursday 10 October 2013
*** deadline for submissions: 31st January, 2013 ***
Theme: Open Doors: New Ideas, New Technologies
http://2013.iasa-web.org/

The 2013 conference is exploring the tools, the people, legislation, ideas
and technologies that enables constant, open and unmediated access, and
discussing the consequences of such openness on the collections, the
collection owners and the managers.  What does Access for All mean to our
mission, to the curators and carers for the world’s sound and audiovisual
heritage?

Open Doors: New Ideas, New Technologies, the 2013 conference theme, is
pertinent to today's environment of information availability, where
openness is the expectation. But does “Open Doors” mean unlimited entry
rights? Is that appropriate when we offer open access? Is complete openness
always ethical, or even legal, or are constraints to access just a limit on
the individual’s right to information?  Are archivists gatekeepers, or are
they facilitators?  Does ultimate responsibility lie with the collections
owners, users or managers?  How do we manage a variety of access conditions
from closed to open?  Can an online description be a breach of confidence?
 Are the users’ rights paramount?

No matter what kind of Openness we need for our particular archive,
archivists must manage access.  Is technology the solution to the growing
management problem, or does technology create a new burden?  In the face of
innovative technology, new possibilities and ever looming budgetary
constraints, we need to be open to new ideas and gain knowledge to evaluate
new solutions for our collections and archives.

Let’s all head to Lithuania… with an Open mind!

This conference aims to investigate and discuss the issues pertaining to
Open Doors including the followingsubthemes:
-         Open Rights - the legal aspects of openness in archives
-         Open Source - what is open source, is it just about software,
what are its advantages for archives, and how do we implement open source
models and applications most effectively?
-         Open Knowledge - exploring all aspects of open information, its
potential, and its impact upon archives
-         Open Archives - is openness the future of all archives? How open
is open?
-         Open Collections - how does openness impact collections and their
development?
-         Openness and Discovery - the implications of openness on search
and research
-         Open Pockets - the bottom line.
