National Libraries and Research Libraries in a time of change
Nordic Conference on Preservation and Access
------------------------------------------------------------------
Conference at The Royal Library Stockholm 5 - 6 October 1998, Arranged
by The Royal Library Stockholm & The Royal Library Copenhagen
Preservation and Access in Nordic Research Libraries:
A Progress Report/State of the Union
The rapid development of information technology and shifting library use
has compelled libraries with historical collections, be they national,
research or university libraries, to reassess their policies as regards
preservation and access.
The changes in the library world have been twofold. On the one hand, the
physical environment and thus document access has undergone substantial
development. Not only have a number of leading libraries moved, or are
on the threshold of moving, into new or refurbished premises, but
information technology has altered the way in which materials can be
accessed and preserved.
Secondly, more attention is being paid to the library's role as a
safeguard of cultural heritage. Libraries are underlining their role as
cultural institutions and attracting new user groups.
The organisers hope that this seminar will provide its participants the
opportunity of acquainting themselves with some of the most recent
developments in the library world and of assessing how these
developments have and will affect library policy as regards preservation
and access.
Seminar venue
The seminar venue will be The Royal Library, Humlegaarden, situated in
the centre of Stockholm.
