Conferenza IFLA a
Bolzano: ad un passo dalle Dolomiti patrimonio UNESCO dell’umanità
Ifla satellite
meeting in Bozen-Bolzano: a stone’s throw from the Dolomites – a UNESCO World
Heritage Site
Registration is now open for the Satellite
Conference on Serials Preservation, organized by the IFLA Section on Serials and
Other
Continuing Resources. Onsite hosting and generous
local support is provided by the University of Bolzano Library.
The title of the Conference is: PRESERVING THE
CULTURAL LEGACY OF SERIALS FROM CONSERVATION (PRINT AND MANUSCRIPT) TO
REFORMATTING (MANY FORMATS) TO DIGITAL (BYTES). Most of the proceedings
will be in
English. This is a program of interest not only to
serials and preservation librarians, but also to historians, digital
specialists, and others involved in the practice of current librarianship -- and
our colleague publishers and vendors, of course.
The Satellite meeting will begin with a reception in the
early evening of Wednesday, 19 August. The programme will proceed all day
Thursday, August 20th, and University of Bolzano Library is providing a special
treat that evening in
an historic mountain castle, a dinner that promises to be
an outstanding event. Then, for anyone wishing to attend the World Library
and Information Congress: 75th IFLA General Conference and Assembly in Milan,
the Bolzano Library has arranged for all registrants to be transported by coach
to Milan, once the Satellite conference ends at noon on Friday, August
21st.
