their libraries into the public domain.
- New approaches to the original through technology.
- Fashioning Collections: The collector as selector.  
- Do art libraries today reflect personal or cultural bias or taste
from the past?
- Preservation and conservation: of the libraries, the collections
and the heritage they represent.
- Is the notion of rareness and value reserved only for printed and
manuscript items? - What about files that are "born digital?"

collections (cataloging, image databases, exhibition practices,
outreach, publications, etc.)
- Simultaneous access to resources from libraries, museums and
archives.
- New forms of access and analysis of cultural heritage materials.
