On behalf of the artlibraries.net advisory committee, I am pleased to provide information on the upcoming 4^th general meeting of artlibraries.net.  The conference will take place at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal,  October 28-30, and will serve as the first European venue to continue discussions begun in New York and Los Angeles relating to the Future of Art Bibliography (FAB) initiative.   Registration is free, and the program is open to all interested librarians.   Affiliation with an artlibraries.net member is not required.  Please see the full program of events copied below.

 

The meeting will offer an invaluable opportunity to meet European colleagues in a great setting, the marvelous city of Lisbon.  The Gulbenkian Foundation, which houses a world-renowned art collection and library, is generously providing meeting, transportation, and catering support for the events.    Talks by librarians and IT professionals from Europe and North America will address the future not only of artlibraries.net, but the larger question of art bibliography in a rapidly changing information landscape.  Tours on Saturday feature visits to the Unesco site of Jerónimos Monastery and to the library of the National Palace of Mafra.

 

Airfare from North America to Portugal is reasonable at this time of the year, Lisbon remains an affordable city, and the Gulbenkian has secured very favorable rates at two nearby hotels.  Please consider attending this event.  To register or make inquiries, please contact Paulo Leitão, [log in to unmask].
