A major international conference will be taking place at the British 
Library Conference Centre in London on 28-29 January 2010:

Subject Repositories: European collaboration in the international context

The conference, which is the first of its kind, will explore the 
development of subject repositories worldwide and will see the launch of 
Economists Online, the key output of an EC-funded subject repository 
project managed by the Nereus consortium of top European economics 
libraries. Nereus members will showcase this subject repository in both 
plenary and parallel sessions, sharing lessons learned and engaging 
delegates in discussions of the main issues such as content recruitment, 
search and retrieval services, usage statistics and data sets. The 
two-day programme will also put Economists Online into the wider context 
and will allow delegates to hear about repository trends across three 
continents.

Among the speakers are Chuck Henry, President of the Council on Library 
and Information Resources, Clifford Lynch, Director of the Coalition for 
Networked Information, Cathrine Harboe-Ree, University Librarian at 
Monash University, who led the ARROW project and is involved in leading 
the ANDS project, and Christian Zimmerman, Economics professor at the 
University of Connecticut. Professor Nick Barr of the London School of 
Economics will launch the Economists Online portal.

The delegate fee is £155 (approximately €175 or US$250) and includes 
attendance at plenary and parallel sessions, refreshments during breaks, 
two lunches and VAT. For further information about how to book,
