of Art Bibliography

4th General artlibraries.net meeting
Lisbon, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, October 28-30, 2010

The 4th general meeting on artlibraries.net - Virtual Catalogue for Art
History will be combined with the first European conference (following
meetings in New York and Los Angeles) on the Future of Art Bibliography
project (FAB) initiated by the Getty Research Institute with funding
from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation (for more informations on FAB see:
http://www.getty.edu/research/institute/fab/index.html). Thus, the event
will no doubt be crucial for art librarianship. All interested
