<p class="MsoNormal"><b>“A common international standard for rare materials cataloguing? Why? And how?”
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">22<sup>nd</sup> February 2016, Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Lisbon)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Rare Books and Special Collections Section of IFLA (RBSCS) invite paper proposals for a one-day conference being held at the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Lisbon) on the 22<sup>
</sup>February 2016, sponsored by the IFLA RBSCS and the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES">This conference will aim to bring the discussion of changing trends and standards for the description of early printed books and special collections in all formats, for instance archives, audio-visual and born-digital material,
to an international stage. In an age when catalogues and metadata are shared across libraries, systems and borders, should there be a common international standard for the cataloguing of rare books and special collections? Is this a desirable or attainable
goal? What might such a common standard look like, and how might it be achieved?<br>
<br>
Possible topics:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span lang="ES">- existing national and international standards<br>
- case studies of the adoption, adaptation or rejection of particular cataloguing standards at institutional or national level<br>
- methodology and delivery of shared cataloguing programmes and data interoperability<br>
- integrating standards for different formats<br>
- theoretical, methodological or historical perspectives<br>
- the needs of researchers and other users, or of cataloguers and other data creators<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES">Papers should be 20 minutes in length and can be in any of
</span>any of the <a href="http://www.ifla.org/language-policy">seven official IFLA languages</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="ES"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
