Are you interested in discussing the role of libraries in the Barcelona Declaration? The German signatories look forward to meeting you in Bremen at the largest library convention in Germany.
A group of German-speaking signatories of the Barcelona Declaration have coordinated to submit presentations on the respective activities of their institutions. The organisers have created two complete sessions (“On the way to Barcelona” 1 and 2), and there will be an additional presentation about open metadata in a session on transformative agreements.
The 9th Bibliothekskongress, at the same time the 113th Bibliocon, is the largest library convention in the German-speaking world and has been held annually in different cities since 1900. The main topics are the role of libraries as promoters of science and research, as a place of democracy and as promoters of digital transformation and guarantors of reliable information.
The 2025 edition will take place under the motto ‘#BibliothekenEntschlossenDemokratisch’ (#LibrariesDecidedlyDemocratic) in Bremen, 24 - 27 June.
