Report from Scandinavia by Anja Lollesgaard

Annual meeting 1999
New members of the board were elected from Denmark and Iceland. The new chair was appointed, Mrs. Turid Aakhus, chief librarian at the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo, Norway. Chair of ARLIS/Norden 1996-1999 Anja Lollesgaard retired, but Lollesgaard will continue as ARLIS/Norden's international contact person as Standing Committtee member of IFLA Section of Art Libraries.

Annual conference 1999
ARLIS/Norden's five member countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden meet once a year - at the annual meeting and conference. This year the annual meeting took place in Norway, 3rd to 6th of June, in the city of Trondheim, an old and beautiful merchant harbour city, dominated by the Nidaros Dome, built in 1150. Trondheim is a true Norwegian city at the West coast of Norway, rich of mountains and fjords and bright summer nights.
The theme of the conference was ‘Image databases’ with contributions from the five Scandinavian countries, all published in ARLIS/Nordenÿs newsletter, ARLIS/Norden Info 1999:2/3, most of them with a summary in English. Erasmus Booksellers and MacMillan Dictionary of Art were the international sponsors of the conference. The conference was organised by ARLIS Norway and was very successful - 50 members attended.

Newsletter
This year three issues of the society's newsletter ARLIS/Norden Info appeared. The newsletter is sent to all subscribing members as well as to a number of international contacts, ARLIS/UK & Ireland, Art Libraries Journal and AKMB, Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Kunst- und Museumsbibliotheken, the German Art and Museum Library Society.

Membership
The membership increased from 117 to 120 members.

Projects
Homepage edited by Eila Rämö. Projects Artists' books and Artists born after 1945 are continued. Next year's annual conference will take place in Stockholm with the theme ‘Architecture’.

Annual Reports from the Five Scandinavian Countries

Denmark
The main event was the study tour in April 1999 to the art libraries of Aarhus, the capital of the Danish province, thus marking the beginning of ARLIS activities outside the Copenhagen area, 23 Danish ARLIUS/Norden members attended. Two annual member meetings and ten art library and architectural visits were organised.

Finland
In May 1999 Finnish art librarians visited Lithuania in order to meet Lithuanian colleagues and to be acquainted with the main art libraries of the country. Reports have been published by Mrs. Eila Rämö in SAL newsletter 1999 no. 44 (1999:1) and by Mr. Kari Vähäpassi in ARLIS/Norden Info 1999:2/3. Further reports will be published in the forthcoming winter issue of ARLIS/Norden Info 1999:4.

Norway
The main acitivity of ARLIS Norway was the organising of ARLIS/Norden's annual conference 1999 in Trondheim. ARLIS Norway is producing the Norwegian art bibliography online KUNSTBIB. The Norwegian art libraries society marked its 15th anniversary.

Sweden
The Swedish art libraries have strengthened their community, mainly by two initiatives

1. The establishing of ARLIST, an internet facility.
2. The main event was the Swedish national art librarians' meeting in Gothenburg in May 1999, attended by 19 Swedish ARLIS/Norden members.

First Seminar of Museum Libraries, Madrid, 2-4 October 1999

The main objectives of the seminar are: to enhance the possibilities for training the museum librarians, to improve the quality of the services given by museum libraries, to provide a forum for the exchange of experiences between museums and libraries professionals, to create a frame for next professional meetings, with the objective to improve the services and possibilities of collaboration between libraries and museums, following the V Programa Marco de la Comisión Europea.

The participants were: Mª Victoria Goberna., director of the Library of IVAM (Modern Art Institute of Valencia), who talked about ‘Museum libraries users’; Rosa Reixats and Marta Torra, from the Biblioteca General de Historia del Arte (Barcelona), who developed a paper dealing with ‘Holdings and Services in museum libraries’; Francisca Hernández, from the Universidad Complutense (Madrid), who spoke about ‘Museum libraries roles’; Elena Santiago Páez, from the Biblioteca Nacional (Madrid), who dealt with ‘Graphic materials in museum libraries’; Rosario López de Prado, from the Museo Arqueológico Nacional Library, who presented the paper ‘A model for remote access information: the Centro de Documentación Arqueológica’; Eulalia Espinás, from the Fundación Bertelsmann (Barcelona), who explained ‘The Program for Libraries Analysis: experiences in the evaluation as a tool for management in the public library’; Teresa Abejón, from the CSIC (National Council for Advanced Research, Madrid), who spoke about ‘Instruments for terminological control: a bridge between libraries and museums’; Pedro A. Bravo, from the Castelldefels (Barcelona) Public Library who gave a paper entitled ‘The library that never says no: the total quality’; Filippos Tsimpoglou, from the National Centre of Documentation EKT/NCD (Atenas) spoke about ‘The project ARGOS: a cooperative solution for the archaeological information’; Javier Docampo, from the Biblioteca Nacional, who talked about ‘The IFLA Section of Art Libraries and other professional associations’, Cristina Ramos y Ana Barata, from the Fundaçao Calouste Gulbenkian, dealt with the topic ‘To profit art information resources: a common objective for the Art Library and the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum’; and Carmen Alonso y Mª del Carmen Pérez Díe, del Museo Arqueológico Nacional (Madrid), who presented ‘The Champollion project’.

ARLIS (UK & Ireland): its role in the development of a national strategy for art libraries

A few examples offer some idea of the ambition and scope of the Plan: it recommended that a National Collecting Policy for Visual Arts Exhibition Catalogues be established; it also advocated a regularly updated union list of visual arts serials, full co-ordination of libraries of national significance in the UK and Ireland, a national collecting policy for visual arts serials, and audio visual materials, and wider access to electronic information networking. But one primordial point was made very forcibly in the Report: to achieve all this there would need to be a VALIP manager - and this would cost money.

ARLIS had been optimistic that the relatively modest sums needed to fund such a post would be made available. Had this happened, things might now be very different. Alas, despite the Society’s most valiant efforts the money was not forthcoming. Staff changes at the Department of National Heritage and the changing emphasis in government policy meant that sectoral LIPS were no longer in favour. So the formal VALIP was, with enormous regret, finally wound up in 1997.

This was very regrettable for art librarians in the UK, and demonstrates the disturbingly fickle attitude of central government to libraries as repositories of our visual heritage. But it should not be seen as one of ARLIS’s failures. Instead ARLIS itself has picked up the pieces and is, by dint of its own energy and with strictly limited resources, now undertaking much of what was proposed as part of its own evolving Action Plan. The ARLIS Annual Report continues to bear witness to a number of initiatives which originated in the VALIP but have now been taken over by ARLIS itself.

So even though the VALIP died, all is certainly not lost. In a way the demise of the VALIP served above all to strengthen the resolve of ARLIS to get things done itself. Resources, both financial and human, are strictly limited of course, but the commitment of members, which cannot be stressed highly enough, continues to be very encouraging. Our members care about art libraries and demonstrate this by devoting inordinate amounts of their time and energy to projects which benefit us all.

There is good cause to be positive. In our increasingly global village it is easier than ever to work with colleagues abroad on topics of similar interest. More than ever before we can learn from others, and this can often stop us from having to reinvent the wheel. In art librarianship, as in so many other areas, there really is strength in numbers. Information technology has internationalised so many of the issues and we should take opportunities to share experience and collaborate whenever we can.

Open Session Audiovisual and Multimedia joint with User Education, Jerusalem

Some examples might be high-end applications that utilize streaming audio and video, animations, etc. as part of a web-based instructional program, the role of the library in the use of multimedia equipment in classroom teaching such as smart classrooms, the role of the librarian regarding copyright laws in the digital environment when multimedia resources are digitized and used in teaching, the use of multimedia and the web for active learning. Of course with all of this, what is the role of the library/librarian?

The Getty Vocabulary Program

In keeping with the Getty's mission of service to the community and its commitment to promoting the use of data standards and controlled vocabularies for information about art, architecture, and material culture, the three vocabularies will continue to be available on the Research Institute Web site (http://www.getty.edu/gri/vocabularies). The Art & Architecture Thesaurus, Union List of Artist Names, and Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names continue to be viewed as valuable resources for both the Getty and for external programs involved in describing art materials; they will play a crucial role as search assistants in developing the Getty Web site.

During the next few years, the Vocabulary Program will focus on development of a technical infrastructure to support Getty-wide contributions and deployment. Concurrent with this internal focus, the program will begin to build strategic partnerships with key external organizations as a means of increasing the scope, depth, and relevance of the vocabularies to the Getty, its public, and the art information community at large. Of course, professional societies and organizations like ARLIS will play a key role in this work.
