Culture and art in the world, in Italy and particularly in Milan

An artist's look at the world of culture and art. A personal experience where many histories and extraordinary meetings flow together, told by one of the greatest dancers of the twentieth century, who also had the great honor of representing Italy all over the world.
Constantly engaged to reaffirm the importance of culture and art: "A Country without culture and art, without means to support culture and art, is a Country that doesn’t renew itself, that stops denying itself a future, true, authentic and overall free."

Chaired by GIOVANNI PUGLISI (Italy), Rector of the Libera Università di Lingue e Comunicazione IULM di Milano. Professor Puglisi will also give a short welcome speech for Ms. Fracci.

Authors and editors are presenting some of the top new titles recently published. They will sketch the backgrounds and the importance of these new publications for the various subfields of the profession. The variety is as broad as the IFLA palette of activities: new publications on bibliographic control, libraries in developing countries, information literacy, library statistics, newspaper librarianship, guidelines of various sorts etc.

Take this opportunity to meet the authors and to learn about the latest state of play and... of course you can place your orders!

Industry Symposium: The Future of Management Services on the Web

The provision of management applications online, accessible through a Web browser, with software and data hosted ‘in the cloud’ is a model now in common use in many business environments. OCLC will explore what it means for library to have management services delivered this way. Will a technology shift trigger similar systemic change? And in what ways can we expect library workflows to be enhanced and streamlined by a shift of services to the Web? OCLC’s recent announcement to develop the first cooperative, Web-scale management service will be discussed in this symposium, as well as an update on other OCLC strategic initiatives.
