An Age of Discovery: Distinctive Collections in the Digital Age

The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) are co-hosting a Forum, "An Age of Discovery: Distinctive Collections in the Digital Age." It will be held October 15-16, 2009, in Washington, DC, immediately following the ARL Membership Meeting.

The Forum builds on the work of the ARL Special Collections Working Group. The goal is to focus attention on opportunities available in the digital environment for leveraging the strengths of special collections, making them more widely accessible. The co-hosts seek to bring together librarians, archivists, and others with responsibilities for stewarding special and distinctive resources, and to identify strategies for advancing this goal. Intended Audience

The forum is open to all. In particular, directors of research and academic libraries, archives, and historical societies are encouraged to attend, along with other staff members who have responsibilities that encompass special collections.

Program sessions will address:

• Why Are Special Collections Important? Exploring the Value Proposition
• Collaborative Strategies to Build Cross-Institutional Collections
• Special Collections as Laboratories for Researchers and Students
• Integrating Special Collections into the Enterprise
• What Changes with Digital Content?

The Fall Forum programs have a reputation for high quality engagement of strategic issues and this year's program is no exception. We recommend that Directors of research and academic libraries and archives plan to attend the full Forum and consider doing so with a member of their staff who has responsibilities for the library's special collections.

See the Forum Web site for speaker and program details. http://www.arl.org/events/ fallforum/forum09/index.shtml

On the recommendation of the Jury, the Director-General of UNESCO designated the National Archives of Malaysia as the winner of the UNESCO/Jikji Memory of the World Prize for 2009.

The Archives will be presented with its award of $30,000 on Jikji Day, 4 September 2009, in Cheongju City, Republic of Korea.

The National Archives of Malaysia was selected by the Jury in recognition of its outreach, educational and training programmes in the area of preservation within the Asian region. The Archives actively participates in international activities supporting preservation and has become a key institution in matters relating to preservation and access, establishing itself as a national resource for the rescue of documents damaged by flood and fire.

It thus becomes the third winner of the Jikji Prize, after the Czech National Library (2005) and the Austrian Phonogrammarchiv (2007). It was chosen from a shortlist of four nominations that also included Mr Vassilios Peltikoglou from Greece, the Brukenthal Museum Library in Romania and the National Archives of South Africa, all of which were judged to have made an important contribution to the field of preservation of documentary heritage.

In making its recommendation, the Jury took the following factors into consideration: the significance of work already undertaken in the area of preservation that is beyond the candidate’s regular functions, long-term preservation strategy, sustainability, and international outreach.

The UNESCO/Jikji Memory of the World Prize serves to promote the objectives of the Memory of the World Programme and to commemorate the inscription of the Jikji, the oldest existing book produced using movable metal print, on the Memory of the World Register. The Prize is open to governments of Member States and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) maintaining formal relations with UNESCO.
