However,the overwhelming evidence of heavily used libraries, the upsurge of newbuildings, and projects for reconstructions or adaptations of older buildingscontradicts this view. Libraries are integrating new media and skills; theyare developing new integrated services; and they are active and, in manyinstances, leading partners in the field of knowledge management, as wellas in multimedia applications and e-learning activities. Libraries act as agentsof change as well as fulfilling the functions of guaranteeing a sustainableinformation environment for the present and for the future.Under the wide-ranging title ‘The Renaissance of the Library’, the LIBERSeminar in Bozen/Bolzano will bring together contributions from architects,computer specialists, designers as well as from librarians from all overEurope and the United States. Participants will have the opportunity toexchange experiences and to hear about illuminating new developmentsand ideas. Thanks are due to the local hosts and organisers, the UniversityLibrary of the Free University of Bozen/Bolzano, and the European Academyof Bozen/Bolzano and Ca’ Foscari University Library, Venice.
