Announcement and Call for Papers
Art Libraries Section, IFLA
World Library and Information Congress - 70th IFLA General Conference and Council will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 22-27 August 2004. The programme of the Art Libraries Section is planned under the general theme of Libraries : Tools for Education and Development. The theme refers especially to three of IFLA's Professional Priorities - Defending the Principle of Freedom of Information; Promoting Literacy, Reading and Lifelong Learning; Promoting Unrestricted Access to Information.
The Art Libraries Section is pleased to announce its intention to hold a 2-hour session during the conference. In addition, an event organized by RED VITRUVIO in honour of the Art Libraries Section will take place Sunday afternoon, 22 August 2004.
1. Programme - formal papers
Topic: Outside the Commercial Corridor : Art Libraries and the Capture, Compilation and Use of Gratis Information
In relation to this theme the papers and discussions may explore:
· The role of patronage of government agencies and non-government institutions
· International cooperation
· The technical and financial support to libraries in order to facilitate the access to the information
· Art library networks as a means to improve access
2. An Afternoon at the Museum
Topic: Outside the Commercial Corridor : Argentine Art Libraries and Finding, Documenting and Using Grey Information
The kind of information we primarily have in mind is: "That which is produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in print and electronic formats, but which is not controlled by commercial publishers." (Definition of 'grey literature' by The Fourth International Conference of Grey Literature, in Washington DC, in October 1999.)
There will be a panel/roundtable to introduce the topic. The format will be interactive. The panelists will present the main points of their respective arguments after which discussion starts.
A study visit to The National Museum of Fine Art and to the Museum Library is planned, as well as a social event.
As plans develop and become more detailed, updates will be posted on IFLAART.
