Tema: Fomento de la diversidad social y cultural mediante la colaboración global: la función de la biblioteca de arte en un mundo sin fronteras

La Sección de Bibliotecas de Arte de la IFLA invites you to submit an abstract for a presentation on this theme for its 2-hour Open Session at the 74th World Library and Information Congress.

The aspects of the general topic could be:

  • Partnerships across the art domain.
  • Art libraries and cultural networks.
  • Working with other institutions to increase the relevance of libraries in the modern world. Specifically on libraries and other cultural partners.
  • The active advocates of the ideas of cultural and social diversity.

The words "The Art Libraries' Role in a World without Borders" should not necessarily mean digital world and the activity of the art libraries in the cyber space.

Off-site workshop
