Session 78 — IFLA Market: Haiti three years after the earthquake - the never ending story — Preservation and Conservation
Congress track 2: Policy, strategy and advocacy.
When the earthquake hit Haiti in early 2010 it was clear that in addition to the devastating effect on the population, a great deal of the country’s cultural heritage had been destroyed. IFLA reacted to this natural disaster by offering help and training for the libraries in Haiti. Under the leadership of IFLA’s Preservation and Conservation Section and the Blue Shield, the Ark project was created to provide a place for such assistance and training. The centre will enable the population of Haiti to independently look after its written cultural heritage and rebuild its identity.
This session provides an overview on the current status of the project.

Session 103 — Future libraries going green — Environmental Sustainability and Libraries Special Interest Group
Congress track 5: Ideas, innovations, anticipating the new.
Workshop
This Off-site (minutes walk from the Conference Center) Workshop is open to all IFLA participants who wish to play an active role (even if only for the duration of the Workshop) volunteering in the Environmental Sustainability and Libraries Special Interest Group.
The keynote item on the programme will be the presentation of the book "The Green Library - Die Grüne Bibliothek" (and more specially, how it came into being) edited by Dr Klaus Werner, Dr Petra Hauke and Karen Latimer. The "Checklist for Greening Libraries", a useful tool which is in the book, will also be presented and discussed.
The format intends to be flexible and interactive, with opportunities for micro-presentations and eventually several open small groups set up to work in parallel on different topics and then sharing conclusions. Volunteers are free to drop in and participate at any moment during the workshop as long (or as briefly) as they wish.
One of the possible focal points for further discussion will be: "Different Latitudes, Different Shades of Green?".
