Abstract:

How can architecture and librarianship benefit from each other? This talk will use some examples from the TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library, in particular the TIB Open Science Lab, to present the issues involved and the conditions under which this can work. The focus is on how architectural content can be disseminated into the broader society by libraries and how the in improvement of this content can be collaboratively facilitated, as well as what research infrastructures in general can do for architecture as a discipline and for architects as (research) individuals.

The Library Science Talks are jointly organized by CERN SIS, AILIS (Association of International Librarians and Information Specialists, Geneva) and Zentralbibliothek Zurich.
