31 August - 1 September 2009
Theme: "Conservation and preservation of library material in a cultural-heritage oriented context"
The IFLA Preservation and Conservation Section and the IFLA PAC-Core program
are pleased to announce a Satellite Conference
in conjunction with this year's IFLA World Library Information Conference in Milan.
The satellite Conference will take place in Rome, August 31 - September 1, at the Istituto Centrale per il
Restauro e la Conservazione del Patrimonio Archivistico e Librario.
The first day (Monday 31 August) will feature preservation and conservation activities at:
* The Vatican Library
* The Istituto Centrale per il Restauro e la Conservazione del Patrimonio Archivistico e Librario.
The second day (Tuesday 1 September) will include two sessions, focusing respectively on topics associated with the following:
(1) Robotic mass digitisation of cultural heritage library materials
(2) Exhibition advances for cultural heritage library materials
We are pleased to invite proposals for papers for the second day's session, featuring any topics of interest,
especially those addressing issues associated with these two sessions. Examples could include capabilities and limitations
for robotic digitisation of cultural heritage library materials, or developments in web-based environmental monitoring of exhibition climates.
Conference registration fees will be waived for speakers (regrettably no financial support is available).
There will be plenty of opportunity at the conference for professional contacts in an inspiring environment.
