DAVID WARLOCK, Sunset in Fiesole [Webpage]
Global communication networks facilitate knowledge sharing in all aspects of scholarship. This global reach expands
our horizons and brings with it serious challenges:
- How do we build and preserve collections of international resources and deliver them to scholars wherever they may be?
- How do we resolve rights and royalty issues across borders?
- How do we build cyber-infrastructures that balances the needs of the scientific community with those of the humanities?
- How do we insure that advances in technology benefit all the world's people?
In the digital age, sharing of our resources is even more critical to the mission of research libraries. We must provide access to growing born–digital international resources and
at the same time provide stewardship for the wealth of indigenous knowledge in all the world's country and regions. This retreat will provide an opportunity to explore these issues and
share our collective wisdom.

Optional Preconference Session: Information Discovery : Examining Enabling Technologies and New Tools
The Internet, the Web, and the global information network provide the world's innovators with an unparalleled laboratory in
which to create services and tools for scholars that could not be imagined 50 years ago or even at the end of the 20th Century.
In this session, we will look at some of these emerging technologies and how they are being put to work by researchers and scholars.

Managing Collections at Web Scale
What are the factors that influence how large voluntary library cooperatives can be selfsustaining? Without an effective organizational structure, including financial and social
requirements and clear long-term goals, whatever people want to accomplish for access and preservation of collections may fall apart. This session will explore several organizational
models that are being used today to ensure that web scale projects survive.

Optional Event
Guided Tour of Siena and its Cathedral
Located 50 km from Florence. Cost is 85 euro per person and includes transportation, guide, museum entrance and dinner.
The magnificent complex of the Cathedral of Siena, its Duomo, is home to numerous masterpieces representative of the development of Italian Art by the likes of Michelangelo,
Donatello, Bernini and Pinturicchio. The Duomo itself constitutes one of the most illustrious examples of Romanesque-Gothic cathedrals in Italy; its inlade marble
mosaic floor is "the most beautiful ... largest and most magnificent ... that ever was made" in the words of Giorgio Vasari. Adjoining the cathedral is the sixteenth century
jewel, the Piccolomini Library, with its stunning frescoes and collection of illuminated manuscripts. The recently discovered and fully restored "crypt" features a colorful cycle
of paintings executed by a series of artists active in Siena during the second half of the XIII century. The visit will also include a tour of the Duomo museum featuring the
ultimate masterpiece of Sienese painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, the Maestà (1308–11).
From the museum, visitors climb to the terrace of the incomplete facade, which was to be part of a 14th century plan to enlarge the Duomo, for the most spectacular view
onto the town of Siena. The guided tour of the Duomo complex will be followed by a leisurely walk through the town of Siena and dinner at a local trattoria.
