Call for Papers

The theme for Round Table's Annual Conference in 2010 is Think Globally, Act Locally. The conference will consider:

 *   What are we achieving in the global context through international groups like the International Council on English Braille<http://www.iceb.org/>, the DAISY Consortium<http://daisy.org/>, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions <http://www.ifla.org/en/lpd> and the Global Library initiative<http://www.daisy.org/projects/global-library/>?
 *   What local initiatives have been successful in our communities? How can these be expanded to other regions?
 *   What are the issues and opportunities for the print disability community in a world where publishing is moving beyond print?
 *   How are service organisations meeting the changing information access needs of individuals and diverse communities?
 *   How does access to information empower individuals to participate in society? Where are the biggest gaps in information access?

The theme will be explored through a mix of speakers, panel discussions and workshops.
