access to non-textual information. Posters may outline a research
project or analytical study, describe issues and trends in creating,
retaining, and providing access to non-textual information, or
illustrate a collaborative project on digital repositories of
non-textual information.

Brandt, Assistant Dean for Research, Purdue University Libraries.
Program Description:
Issues and trends in digital repositories of non-textual information:
support for research and teaching.
Scientific research produces vast amounts of data. Historically,
libraries have preserved the distillation of that research (the
scientific paper), but only infrequently the data upon which that paper
was based. An increasingly prominent theme in todays research community
is that preservation of the data is perhaps at least as important as
preservation of the output. Our program will focus on the current issues
and trends in creating, retaining, and providing access to non-textual
information.
The STS Research Committee will select posters for the Washington, D.C.
session through a blind review process on the basis of timeliness,
thoughtfulness, and relevance to sci/tech librarianship.
*DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION:* January 19, 2007. A brief description of the
poster (250 words or less) should be submitted via e-mail to Sarah
Jeong, Co-Chair of the STS Research Committee, [log in to unmask] Be
sure to include your name, institution, phone, fax, e-mail address, and
poster title.
