SESSION A: FOOD IN LIBRARIES
The question of food being allowed or not ties into the enternal question on what a library is supposed to look like and what a library is (activities, noise, smells etc)
- Library policies - depending on the country
- Library cafés
- Open kitchen in the library
- Food in social events
- Food as method
- Canada: community gardens
Kitchen for users in Sweden, Finland and Denmark
for ex '10-13' library and new Kista Library in Stockholm, Myllepyrro library in Helsinki,
Restaurant on the 7th floor at the Openbare bibliotheek Amsterdam
Event about India in the library
Closed containers allowed in most Swedish academic libraries. Also access to microwaveovens for heating lunch
SESSION B: GLAM (Gallery Libraries Archives Museums)
the participants share stories about cooperative projects they had
- stockholm library cooperates with a museum, but its hang up at very high hierarchy
- maybe problem is, that the managers dont have a direct look on the daily work at the basis of library or museum...
- good idea would be to send staff from the library to the museum or partner and the other way around-- traineeship for a couple of weeks
- calgary: projects with the city
Why don't we pay for professional work instead of doing a bad project ourselves. We need to look for expertise outside of the library setting.
Funding fatalism
Curators in the libraries?
The mindset:
How do we evaluate success coming out of partnership
What's the value of our services? How do we communicate that?
Are we doing partnerships because we want value from others or because we believe we have something valuable to share?
Share teaching
Library/school
Internship: various institutions, informal partnership
Who are our closest relatives? Archives? Museums? Galleries?
Art lending libraries
Art space for children
Music school library
How can a micro GLAM partnership be done?
Starts with a coffee
Linked-in - see what you have in common
Passion-driven or obligation-driven?
Toolkit for bored librarians?
Cycling for GLAM! :)
