Join members of the Western European Studies Section (WESS), the Association des Bibliothécaires Français, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and European and American colleagues at the WESS European Conference: Migrations in Society, Culture, and the Library, in Paris during the Salon du Livre  (www.salondulivreparis.com), March 22-26, 2004.  We very much welcome an international audience and would like to attract librarians and scholars from as many countries as possible.

 

The program will address opportunities and tensions that migrations – demographic, technological, cultural, intellectual and literary – bring to Western Europe and libraries supporting Western European studies.

 

Keynote Speakers: 

Roger Chartier, École des Hautes Études, Paris, and the University of Pennsylvania

Jean-Claude Guédon, Université de Montréal, Canada

Friedrich Heckmann, University of Bamberg and Director of the European Forum for Migration Studies

Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink, University of Saarbrücken 

David Seaman, Director of the Digital Library Federation in Washington, DC

 

We will be meeting on different days at three venues: the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (site Mitterand), the Salon du Livre (Porte de Versailles), and a conference center, the Espace Georges Bernanos (between the Gare St-Lazare and the Opéra).
