The symposium brings together librarians, academics and practitioners with the aim to share ideas, encourage interdisciplinary discussion and promote collaborative research. The first panel focuses upon fashion libraries' best practice in the context of fashion museums, academic institutions and the fashion industries. The following panels are round-table discussions that question the issues of networking and visual specificity of fashion libraries, as a first step towards a better inter-library integration and cooperation. Networking Issues, the first round-table, stems from the consideration that we all come from different institutions, possibly with different missions, but we are all concerned with questions and issues related to fashion. All of our institutions undertake a series of projects and activities dealing with fashion/fashion studies etc. What is the cost, in terms of duplicated effort, of not being aware of what others are doing? For example, would it be useful to know when other libraries/museums etc. plan to acquire an historical journal or to fill gaps in their collections? If we only have funds for one historical journal, but have to decide between two titles, would it help if we knew what other libraries had purchased? Do we think it might be useful to build a network? Can MISA help us to create such a network, if we wish to do so? Addressing the Iconauts, the second round-table, focuses upon the peculiarities of fashion libraries with respect to the materiality and immateriality of the publishing industry, on the one hand, and a new type of end user, on the other. It poses the question: do fashion libraries have the right means and tools to face the epochal transformations in bibliographic and iconographic documents? The initial hypothesis is that the practice of “iconauts” - typical of iconographic material users who are specifically interested in the construction of visual discourses and projects – generates new patterns of behaviour in fashion library users and, more broadly, in visual culture library users. What are the use mechanisms of iconographic databases and bibliographic materials? How do they affect the use of library spaces and what new issues do they create? On which themes should we focus in order to reach a better level of coordination amongst ourselves, be able to share common goals, and manage to deal more effectively with the changes underway?
