University of Edinburgh
14th – 16th July 2010
ARLIS: The Next Generation
Join ARLIS in July 2010 when the annual conference will be held at the recently opened John McIntyre Conference Centre, at the University of Edinburgh´s Pollock Halls. The campus is situated close to the centre of the city at the foot of Edinburgh´s spectacular natural landmark, Arthur´s Seat.
The full programme will examine the future of art librarianship and will include presentations looking at the increasing use of social media, new projects concerning digital resources and collections, and artists’ increasing use of archive and library material in their work. A wide range of breakout sessions will cover topics such as securing funding, putting preservation policies into practice, and online digital resources for students. Visits to diverse Edinburgh institutions such as the Scottish Poetry Library, the Scottish Parliament and the National Library of Scotland will also be available.
