IFLA Religious Libraries in Dialogue Special Interest Group (SIG Relindial) in collaboration with the Theologicum of the Catholic University of Paris and local contacts:
invite you to submit a proposal for a presentation for the IFLA Satellite Meeting to be held in Paris, France, on Monday 25th and Tuesday 26th August 2014, at the Catholic University of Paris, 21 rue d’Assas, 75006 Paris.
We are interested in receiving papers that demonstrate how libraries are at the heart of cultural dialogue for centuries. During the Antiquity and until now, libraries are witnesses of the cultural and religious exchanges between civilizations. Famous libraries have been the cornerstone of the history of humankind in all its diversity.
Heritage libraries with a religious focus - how they came into existence, what changes they have undergone over the centuries, how has international collaborations facilitated their growth, their reconstruction and development.
The history of mankind is marked by the development of the great libraries which fostered cultural exchanges such as those that were involved in cultural exchanges in the Middle East and the Silk Road during antiquity.
Speaking about one special library:
1. The semantic web
2. FRBR-RDA standards
3. Digital libraries
During history, some libraries were dispersed because of diverse archaeological interests. Thanks to international collaborations, some heritage religious libraries have been given a new digital life.
We are interested in learning how giving access to whole dispersed collections in a digital form was made possible. For example:
What are the principal problems to be solved to support, protect and sustain heritage libraries?
