Organized by: CERL
Speaker(s): Speaker(s):
The 2010 Annual General Meeting took place at the Royal Library in Copenhagen on Saturday 6 November 2010, preceded by a meeting of the CERL Advisory Task Group and the Executive Committee on Thursday 4 November, and a seminar on reconstructing collections on Friday 5 November 2010.
On the afternoon of Thursday 4 November, a session was held to discuss the strategic plans of various organisations with a special interest in the cultural heritage preserved in libraries. Guests included Lisa Carter (Association of Research Libraries, Washington DC), Graham Jefcoate (LIBER), and Per Culhed (IFLA Preservation).
The representatives from IFLA RBMS, LIBER, CERL, IFLA Preservation, ARL, and OCLC, as well as CERL EC and ATG members examined the strategic aims and work plans of the various organisations. It was agreed that the organisations will inform the others of intended activities and special focus areas at an
early stage. Where there is overlap, the organisations expressed an interest to collaborate. On this note, both CERL and LIBER were very pleased to receive an invitation from the Flemish Heritage Libraries (Vlaamse Erfgoed Bibliotheek) and the IFLA RBMS to participate in organising a conference on training special collections librarians (Antwerp, January 2012).
