> CALL FOR PROPOSALS: SPARC DIGITAL REPOSITORIES MEETING – INNOVATION FAIR
>
> Washington, DC – Proposals are now being invited to the SPARC 2010 
> Digital Repositories Meeting Innovation Fair, where new technologies 
> and strategies are showcased in engaging, informative rapid-fire 
> presentations. SPARC, in partnership with SPARC Europe and SPARC 
> Japan/National Institute of Informatics, is hosting the next 
> installment of this popular meeting on November 8 & 9, 2010 at the 
> Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.
>
> The North American SPARC meeting is a unique forum for diverse 
> stakeholders – librarians, technologists, research producers, research 
> funders, publishers and commercial interests – to come together and 
> consider how best to leverage the practices and policies that have 
> proven successful in advancing repositories to date, and to explore 
> new challenges.
>
> The Innovation Fair is an event inspired by the Open Repositories 
> Meeting Minute Madness that invites participants to present, in no 
> more than two minutes, innovative or creative approaches to: use of 
> repository content, discovery of research outputs, value-added 
> services, and repository promotion. Diatomscapes, personal 
> repositories, depositor reluctance, Amazon.com <http://Amazon.com>, 
> and theses were a few of the themes champions from four countries 
> introduced at the 2008 fair.
>
> For details and to submit a proposal to the 2010 Innovation Fair, 
> visit http://www.arl.org/sparc/meetings/dr10. Submissions must be 
> received no later than August 15.
>
> The SPARC 2010 Digital Repositories Meeting is supported by major 
> contributions from Microsoft (Meeting Sponsor), Berkeley Electronic 
> Press (Luncheon Sponsor), the University of Alberta, and by additional 
> contributions from a number of Supporting Organizations.
>
> The SPARC digital repositories meetings have played an integral part 
> in advancing the potential of repositories to expand the dissemination 
> of scholarship and transform scholarly communication. First held in 
> 2004, the meeting is regularly hosted in the UK or Europe, Japan, and 
> North America, draws hundreds of participants from around the globe, 
> and has helped set the stage for key developments over the past six years.
>
