Pre-Seminar tour in Venice, Monday, 15 – Tuesday, 16 March
organised by Ca' Foscari University Library, Venice
Ca' Foscari University Library is in the process of an extensive building program. The overall idea is to consolidate the 32 libraries distributed all over Venice into five major sites. The two first libraries will be opened early 2004. We visited.
- The "Biblioteca Didattica". This Library is scheduled for opening in Spring 2004. Formerly a wood and carpenter's warehouse
- The Università Ca'Foscari di Venezia Library "S. Giobbe" (School of Economic). Housed on the ground and in the buildings of the former slaughterhouse of Venice , it is a daring but still unfinished project. The Library will be completed in fall 2004; the whole area is located on the western edge of the city
Other visits included The Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, the Fondazione Querini Stampalia in S. Maria Formosa, which today is a library and a museum. Other sites: Fondazione Giorgio Cini on S. Giorgio Island, Biblioteca della Congregazione Armena Mechitarista on Isola di S. Lazzaro degli Armeni, the old library of S. Marco School (in SS Giovanni e Paolo).

The
Effective Library – Vision, Planning Process, and Evaluation in the
Digital Age |
|
Seminar theme
The theme for the 2002 Seminar considered library
planning and design in the context of broader strategic developments
affecting teaching and research institutions. The programme reflected
on the future role of university libraries, the planning process, and
the relationship between librarians and architects. Special emphasis
was put on post-completion evaluation programmes – what did reality
do to your vision? Did the findings influence further projects?
As usual, there were interesting presentations on
the latest building projects from across Europe.
|
|
The seminar venue was the Leipzig Trade Fair in the outskirts of
Leipzig, home of the annual Leipzig Book Fair that took place at the
same time.

The
Open Library – Financial and Human Aspects |
|
Seminar
theme
The theme for the 2000 Seminar
reflected the trend towards open planning in
the design of library buildings, and the conference included a number of
case studies of recent buildings as well as papers which explored the ways in
which human interaction is facilitated by building design.
The seminar
also examined the financing of building projects, drawing on
the experience of a number of institutions of different approaches to this
key area. |

Seminar venue
The seminar venue was the new University Library of Warsaw at the
banks of the river Vistula in the centre of Warsaw. |
