A final reminder:
CILIP RARE BOOKS GROUP
2004 ANNUAL STUDY CONFERENCE
"Rare Book Futures: curating collections in the 21st
century"
Weds 1-Fri 3 September 2004.
University of Sussex (Brighton).
For more details and how to book, see
http://www.cilip.org.uk/groups/rbg/events.html
The conference is designed to help rare books librarians
develop a "toolkit" of the managerial and technical skills
they need to bring their collections to life. These skills
include publicity and marketing (exhibitions, web design,
publishing), policies (acquisition and disposal), project
management, fund-raising and training. A final version of
the programme (updated earlier this month) has been loaded
on the web page. The conference dinner will be in the
magnificent Royal Pavilion and includes a tour of this
spectacular building. The programme also offers visits to
several local libraries and archives, including the Royal
Pavilion's Archive, the East Sussex Record Office,
University of Sussex Special Collections (Mass Observation,
Rudyard Kipling Archive), and the Brighton City Library
(rare book collection).
Places are still available but some visits and workshops
are now fully subscribed. Please give plenty of choices on
your booking form.
CILIP Rare Books Group members please note that the Group's
AGM will take place during the Conference: at 2pm, on
Thursday 2 Sept in the Terrace Room, University of Sussex
Conference Centre, Bramber House, University of Sussex,
Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9QU. All Group members are welcome -
you do not have to be a conference delegate to attend.
***Please note that we have to confirm final numbers for
accommodation on 13 Aug and that bookings received
thereafter will be subject to a late booking charge***
