Goportis invites you to "Non-Textual Information – Strategy and Innovation Beyond Text" in Hannover on the 18th and 19th March 2013
Professor Dr. Karl Ulrich Mayer, President of the Leibniz Association, stated that "excellent research requires excellent support. To this end, the three specialised German National Libraries are concentrating their efforts on application-oriented research for the development of their services and are consistently co-operating with internationally-renowned partners. This approach not only strengthens the Leibniz Association, but also the entire scientific location of Germany."
Goportis, the Leibniz Library Network for Research Information, which consists of the TIB, ZB MED and ZBW, is going to focus on the theme of "Non-Textual Information - Strategy and Innovation Beyond Text" in its 2013 conference. The event, which is attracting international participation, is concerned with the question of how the internet is changing existing research and publication processes and how particularly non-textual information, such as 3D-models, audiovisual objects and research data, can be integrated into the scientific work processes. In view of its expansion and increased importance in research and teaching, the issue here is to fundamentally improve the conditions for access to these types of information and to enable new forms of usage for existing inventories – at the present time, only a tiny proportion of these materials can be searched and used.
Under the auspices of the TIB, which is currently setting-up a competence centre for non-textual materials, this international English-language event will be taking place on the 18th and 19th March in Hannover. Speakers from the USA, Canada, Great Britain, France and the Netherlands, as well as Germany, will be presenting their solutions in the areas of "Strategy and Policies", "Best Practices", "Innovation and Research" and "Digital Preservation".
The opening keynote speech will be made by Salvatore Mele from CERN.
We are looking forward to welcoming colleagues to an international exchange of expertise and we are pleased to be able to offer plenty of space for networking, both in the “Leibnizhaus” and at the evening get-together in Hannover’s “Old Town Hall”.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
