A warm welcome to Cardiff!
Mining for Innovation
Fuelling the arts economy
Major Sponsors!
You are within walking distance of the vibrant city
centre. The ARLIS/UK and Ireland 46th Annual
Conference will be held on Llandaff Campus of
Cardiff Metropolitan University close to the peaceful
and traditional Cathedral Close yet not far from the
energy, bustle and sense of renewal of Cardiff’s city
centre and its Bay area.
In times of austerity we are told we ‘need to do more
with less’ but we are already doing much to exploit
and develop the rich veins of resources held in our
libraries. This year’s Annual Conference is an
opportunity to explore, share and celebrate the many
ways in which art libraries can demonstrate our
worth to the arts economy and wider afield. Topics
under consideration include innovation, engagement,
promotion and how we can demonstrate the roles
librarians, archivists, information specialists etc can
play in ‘adding value’ to the impact our institutions
have in the world of the arts.
