CALL FOR PAPERS  

SESSION jointly hosted by the Section for Library Buildings and Equipment
and the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section

 with the Preservation and Conservation Section 

in Lyon, France

at the 80th  World Library and Information Congress, 

16 - 22 August 2014

 

Session title: Special Places for Special Collections

 

Memorable library architecture and the application of integrated, attractive
designs that reflect excellence and combine solutions for buildings, sites
and interiors enables users to capture the spirit and function of a place
and to attach a meaning or quality to a space and the importance of its
collections. Libraries, in particular academic and research libraries, often
hold collections of rare and special materials that encompass a wide range
of documentary formats and other media. These include historic and modern
books, manuscripts and archives, music and maps, photographs and sound
recordings as well as digital archives. New technologies and different
formats require new designs of buildings and a careful curatorship of spaces
in order to provide the widest possible access as well as an appropriate and
secure presentation of both physical and virtual special collections. 

 

The Library Buildings & Equipment and the Rare Books and Manuscripts
Standing Committees together with the Preservation and Conservation
CommitteeBM__GoBack are calling for papers which showcase recent building
solutions and room concepts for Special Collections. These should reflect an
understanding of and response to users' needs in the consultation of rare or
special collections in a collaborative scholarly environment. They should
explore innovative design solutions for the use, presentation, teaching and
exhibition of special collections as well as address appropriate security
issues and storage facilities.

 

The Sections are particularly interested in innovative projects responding
to new functional demands for the architecture and the design of hybrid
libraries with collections of diverse and special formats. We would like the
programme to have a balance between theoretical approaches devoted to
aspects of library architecture and design solutions with regard to special
collections and best practice case studies, which have proven to have met
the different needs of the user. Presentations can draw on examples both
from renovated as well as newly built spaces.   

 

The theme of WLIC 2014, "Libraries, Citizens, Societies: Confluence for
knowledge" should provide the context of the presentation.  

 

The following should be provided by those responding to the call: 

- name and institution of presenter(s)

- an abstract of the paper describing the project or research carried

  out (1 page, up to 350 words) preferably in English

- relevant biographical information of author(s)/presenter(s)

 

Please send your proposals by 31 January 2014 via e-mail to both the Chair
of the LBE section Dorothea Sommer (
<mailto:dorothea.sommer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
dorothea.sommer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), and to the Information Coordinator
of the RBMS section Edwin C. Schroeder (edwin.schroeder@xxxxxxxx).
