September 17 “Digital Debates on Archives, Museums and Libraries”

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

Warm greetings from PAARL!

On the occasion of the 30th Manila International Book Fair which will run through September 16-20, 2009, PAARL will hold a Public Forum on the theme “Digital Debates on Archives, Museums and Libraries” which will be held on September 17, 2009, 8:00 – 12:00 noon at Meeting Rooms 5-6, SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.

Specifically, the discussion will evolve on the following objectives:

To stimulate conversation and reflect on the challenges posed by emerging technologies and their effects on the roles that libraries, museums and archives will play in the next decade.

To understand the significance or importance of investing technologies in libraries, museums and archives and on how these investments will best support an institution’s core mission in particular.

To identify the rights and privileges of cultural institutions when it comes to digital technologies and online presence and its responsibilities to users, peer institutions or corporate entities.

We are inviting all librarians, information professionals, archivists, curators, library support staff and other interested parties to join us and register for P250.00 as PAARL members and P300.00 for non-members.

We have invited Dir. Corazon Albina of the National Museum and Prof. Edgardo Quiros of the National Library to help us facilitate this activity. For further inquiries, please contact any member of the Board by phone or email.

We look forward to your continued patronage. Thank you.

Very truly yours,

Christopher Paras
Conference Chair/Vice President
