Conference: Evolution or revolution? The changing face of collection care
14-15 October 2013, The British Library, London NW1 2DB, United Kingdom
This two-day conference organised by the British Library discusses how change and development in the library environment – in acquisition, technology, publishing, storage, formats, access, use – are defining and redefining the roles and responsibilities of collection care professionals, forcing us to ask tough questions of ourselves and our collections. Do we embrace such change as an opportunity to re-evaluate our collections and develop new models of care and stewardship? Or do we view it as a threat to traditional methods and traditional skills?
Who are the collection care professionals of today? What skills do they need to be practitioners and leaders in the collection care departments of tomorrow?
Programme:
We have two full days of presentations on Mon 14 and Tue 15 October 2013, with a reception on the Monday evening.
Running alongside will be a small trade fair, plus a dedicated exhibition space, showcasing the work of the British Library’s Collection Care department.
On Wed 16 Oct, post-conference, we will be running tours to different British Library departments.
