The Changing Book: Transitions in Design, Production &
Preservation July
22-25, 2005, JUNE 29: The conference rate at the
Sheraton ends today. There are still a few dorm rooms available for men. These
rooms will not be available after 8AM Thursday, June 30. http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/book2005/pages/lodging.htm What is The Changing Book? The book, as we know it, is ever-changing in
its structure and physical composition as well as in how it is perceived in the
context of other media. The Changing Book exposition will provide perspective
on the continuing role of the paper book, trends in production, its
preservation, and visions for the future. Set in beautiful eastern Iowa at the height of
summer, the exposition will include speakers (Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler, National
Archives; John Dean, Cornell University and Chris Clarkson), panels, book
exhibitions, tours and a "tent show" featuring technical
demonstrations, vendors, poster sessions, food, fun and music. The exposition
will offer an informal, lively ambience for discussion, entertainment and
inspiration, much in the spirit of a county fair. Professionals and students dedicated to the
traditional book and its preservation in the digital age are invited to attend.
