What do we lose when we lose a library? : Proceedings of the conference held at the KU Leuven 9-11 September 2015 / Conference organized by KU Leuven, UC Lovain, the Goethe Institut, the British Council
- The historical facts and the methods and strategies on how threatened book collections
can be protected. What are the traumas from the past? What can we learn from these
for the future? How can libraries strengthen their position? How can they protect their
collections? In addition, the conference also looked ahead to also explore the digital
challenge for libraries in this context namely: how can digital technology and advanced
imaging techniques help preserve the traditional documentary heritage and moreover,
how can the born digital heritage itself be protected for future generations?
