10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR ART LIBRARIES
Call for papers
MUSEU NACIONAL D’ART DE CATALUNYA, BARCELONA, OCTOBER 3-5 October, 2024
The upcoming 10th International Conference of Art Libraries in Barcelona in October will be dedicated to two main topics:
- The landscape of art and museum libraries in Spain
- Artificial Intelligence in art and museum libraries
We are taking the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the landscape of art and mu-seum libraries and archives in Spain, to better understand their traditions, structures and future plans and to explore the possibilities of in-depth cooperation with the artdiscov-ery.net network. To this end, representatives of Spanish institutions in particular are in-vited to present their concepts and especially strategies for the future.
Representatives of libraries outside the country who hold important collections on Spanish art and Iberian cultural history are encouraged to contribute as well, both to provide an international perspective and to highlight potentially valuable opportunities for connecting institutions.
In addition, the conference aims to facilitate an exchange of experiences on the topic of art libraries and artificial intelligence, particularly with regard to the networking of library holdings but also, for example to the sharing, using and protection of collection objects in an AI world. Specific applications and ongoing projects are of particular interest here.
There will be a choice of two conference formats:
- Presentations of approx. 20 minutes
- Lightning talks of 5-10 minutes
Presentations can be given both in English (conference language) and Spanish. A simulta-neous translation in both directions will be provided.
The due date for sending-in proposals for papers and lightning talks has been extended to APRIL 30, 2024. Please include the title plus a max. 400-word abstract. A short CV should be added as well. The proposal must be written in English. Speakers will be notified within one month regarding the acceptance of their proposal. Please send your proposal to: ADGC24@khi.fi.it

The international network of art libraries centered around the Art Discovery Group Catalogue (https://artdiscovery.net/) will come together for the 9th time to hold its bi-annual conference, this year at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (ZI = Central Institute for Art History) in Munich, Germany.

It will examine projects individually and collectively, in both practical and conceptual terms, and consider topics of collaboration, inclusivity, and diversity of art information.

Art information:Reflection and reflection
MUNICH, OCTOBER 14 AND 15, 2022
The international network of art libraries will come together for the 9th time to hold its bi-annual conference, this year at the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (Central Institute for Art History) in Munich, Germany. The conference is both a meeting of the partner libraries joining the Art Discovery Group Catalogue project and an occasion to mark the 10th anniversary of the Future of Art Bibliography Initiative (FAB) as an instructive and aspirational lens through which to view many of the major community-based projects that have developed in our domain over the past decade. It will examine projects individually and collectively, in both practical and conceptual terms, and consider topics of collaboration, inclusivity, and diversity of art information.
The goal of the conference is to bring together information specialists, librarians, publishers, students and scholars in the fields of art, architecture, and visual culture to discuss the progress of the Art Discovery Group Catalogue and recent developments that are shaping, guiding, and challenging the art information profession. The program seeks to cover a broad spectrum of topics including but not limited to:
resource sharing and collective collecting
collaborative catalogs
linked open data
digitization and IIIF
diversity in resource building
web archiving
image-based collection searching
art bibliography as a framework
the future of art information
Abstracts should describe original, unpublished work. The proposals for papers, lightning talks, or panels are due on June 1, 2022. You must include the title plus a 500 word abstract (no images), to give a brief description of the presentation. You will be notified within one month regarding the acceptance of your proposal. The final presentations and the abstracts will be made available on the Artdiscovery.net website after the conference. Partial travel support may be available.
