Working meetings
Registration for members’ meetings is done by the committee.
Please note: Except for the BIB, VDB and dbv members’ meetings, access to the working sessions on the congress site is only possible for registered congress visitors.
Other submitted working sessions will be assigned to the regular review by the Programme Commission.
Session leaders do not receive free congress admission.
Individual presentations
To allow sufficient time for discussion, a maximum of 15 minutes of speaking time will be allocated for individual presentations. Only individual presentations may be submitted, not blocks of presentations. If there is a connection between the contents of several presentations, please indicate this in the comments field when submitting.
Due to the limited speaking time, a maximum of two speakers per presentation can be considered. These will both be shown in the list of speakers. All other authors and/or speakers can only be presented directly in the abstract.
If a moderator is proposed for one or more presentations, please name him/her. Speakers receive free admission. If more than one person is presenting, only one person will receive this preference.
The submitted papers will be reviewed by honorary reviewers and proposed to the programme committee. Potential reviewers are welcome to contact the organisers. Sessions curated entirely by the associations are exempt from additional review.
Company presentations and product presentations
Companies are invited to present their products in the company exhibition and presentations and talk to customers there. The booking of company presentations, exhibition space and sponsoring services is done via the online booking system “Exhibition and Sponsoring Ordering System (ESOS™)”. Ms Alexandra Krohn is available as your contact person at ausstellung@bibliothekartag2023.de. Further information and the corresponding conditions can be found in the Exhibitor and Sponsor Manual under the heading Company Presentations.
Presentations with a commercial background are always treated as company presentations.
Panel discussions
In panel discussions, a topic is to be discussed controversially. Each participant pursues a thesis, which is briefly presented at the beginning of the discussion. In the course of the discussion, the audience participates.
Panels with more than five participants plus a moderator are not planned.
Between 90 minutes and two hours are available for panel discussions. In the abstract, please state the (controversial) theses, the persons discussing them, and the moderator(s) of the discussion. The moderator of the discussion will be admitted free of charge.
Panel participants who do not come from the BID context and bring an external perspective to the discussion can be financed through the associations, if applicable, with a free day ticket. There is no entitlement to this service.
Hands-On Labs
We are planning to hold Hands-On Labs again. Subject to unexpected pandemic-related restrictions.
Hands-On Labs are events for smaller groups who want to deal with a topic intensively and in practical exercises, get in touch with software etc. and become active themselves. In the sense of Open Space Learning, participants should be able to gain direct practical experience (e.g. installing search engine software together).
A Hands-On Lab lasts 90 or 120 minutes.
When submitting your application, please specify the moderator, the topic, the target group and the time and space required, and explain how active participation by the participants will be facilitated.
Hands-On Labs that require participants to register in advance must be marked accordingly in the abstract, with the corresponding email address to which the registrations should be sent.
Special technical equipment cannot be provided but must be organised by the submitter. Projector, demonstration computer, flipcharts, screen and moderation stationery are available in the room. LAN connections are also available in the digital lab. Laptops, tablets and/or mobile phones will not be provided; the requirement to bring them should be pointed out in the abstract, if applicable.
The leader of the Hands-on Lab will receive free admission to the congress.
Poster
Posters can be submitted. There will be a separate call for this in December 2022.
#Freiraum23
The call for the #Free Space will be made in December 2022 to be able to adequately consider current developments. The free space is available for presentations by associations, guests and participants but not for use in a commercial context.
