You are invited to an international conference with a range of speakers from around the world. The two-day programme will allow delegates to find out about repository trends across three continents.

This conference will look at the progress made with subject repositories so far. It will also 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 datasets.

Among the speakers are 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 Zimmermann, Economics professor at the University of Connecticut. Professor Nick Barr of the London School of Economics will launch the Economists Online portal.

Subject Repositories will take place at the British Library Conference Centre in London on 28-29 January 2010. The BLCC is conveniently located close to the Eurostar St Pancras International, King’s Cross and Euston stations. 

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.
