Dear Librarians, Archivists, Publishers and anyone interested in current archiving challenges,
Dear Colleagues,
Vienna University Library will be hosting the prestigious Kuopio Conference between the 7th and the 9th of September, 2022. Please check our website for further information and registration: https://kuopio2022.univie.ac.at/home/.
This meeting will explore various aspects of print storage, such as strategy, economics and evaluation, logistics, electronically available versions and much more. We expect around 100 delegates, mainly from Europe and beyond and will offer a varied programme with over 25 talks.
Since its launch in 1999 by Pentti Vattulainen of the Finnish National Repository Library, the Kuopio Conference has gained an ever-growing audience of international experts within a well-established network through IFLA, LIBER and other organisations. At its 6th meeting in 2018 in Basel, Switzerland, the conference came under the umbrella of EPICo, the European Print Initiatives Collaboration (https://epico-libraries.eu/) and a series of biannual events were planned across Europe, starting with the 2022 Kuopio conference in Vienna (originally planned for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic).
On behalf of the organising committee, we would like to ask you to join Kuopio 7: “Review and Renew: Changing Strategies in Collection Management” in Vienna in 2022.
We look forward to welcoming you to Vienna in 2022!
Kind regards,
Brigitte Kromp, Wolfgang Mayer (Vienna University Library; Hosts)
Ulrich Niederer (Host of Kuopio 6 in Basel)
