ARCLIB 2005: Articulating Architecture....

 

ARCLIB is the Ireland/UK Architecture Librarians Group. Our main activity is to organise an annual conference, which this year is to be held on July 13th-15th in University College Dublin.

 

This is the first time that the ARCLIB Conference has been held outside of the UK and we are hoping to make it special.

 

Various themes will be explored including changing architecture curricula; articulating changing roles in the areas of information skills and marketing; digitising and imaging projects....and MUCH MORE!

 

Speakers will include Shane O Toole, Architect and Critic. Shane writes for the Sunday Times (amongst other things) - have a look at his Website at www.irish- architecture.com/tesserae. Jacqui Weetman and Hinda Skar, ARCLIB members will be speaking about information literacy and slides digitisation. There will be speakers from GOOGLE (European HQ is in Dublin). Marysia Henty, Communications & Marketing Manager in the London School of Economics & former Marketing Manager of the Royal Institute of British Architects will be talking about marketing libraries. Have a look at the full Programme on the ARCLIB website.

 

No ARCLIB Conference would be complete without its receptions and visits and this year will be no exception.....for example, we have organised a reception in the Irish Architectural Archive, trips to hidden Georgian jewels, meals in renowned Dublin bistros....
