Conference announcement
2012 Conference: Speaking Truth to Power: making special collections work in times of recession
Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford
12 - 14 September 2012
As hard times hit, special collections are going to have to fight for attention to ensure their survival. How do they justify their retention and help demonstrate their worth to their owners? This year's conference is based around three themes: Does the world need special collections? What can special collections do for an organisation? What can special collections contribute to communities? Drawing together speakers from a variety of sectors, it is aimed primarily at senior managers but would be interesting and useful to anyone in the profession who holds, or may hold in the future, managerial positions.
The Booking for the Conference is now open (http://www.cilip.org.uk/get-involved/special-interest-groups/rare-books/events/pages/annual-conference.aspx).
