Welcome to the 52nd BETH annual conference on the topic of sustainability in European theological libraries! We are delighted to welcome you to the BETH Conference 2024, nested against the breath-taking backdrop of Sarajevo – a city renowned for its rich history and stunning landscapes, providing an inspiring setting for discussions on sustainability.
We all recognise the growing importance of sustainable development across various areas and believe it is crucial to explore its implications within theological contexts and library settings. The United Nations has established 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the UN 2030 Agenda, which represent a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that everyone, everywhere enjoys freedom, peace, and prosperity. As part of our commitment to fostering sustainable practices and contributing to the global effort towards achieving the SDGs, we believe in the importance of convening to discuss these issues and formulate concrete proposals to progress in the best direction.

The General Library of the PP. Barnabite Centre for Historical Studies and the Use of the BeWeb Portal
Thursday September 19, 2024 11:00am - 11:30am CEST
Gazi Husrev-beg's Library
Libraries play a leading role in an ongoing dialogue with educating communities: through community engagement and sustainable initiatives, librarians collaborate with schools and experiment with new strategies for teaching and learning religious history that are more engaging and effective even in restoring, in a usable mode for all, events that are as important as they are forgotten. The experience of the General Library of the PP. Barnabiti Center for Historical Studies is presented, which, in collaboration with local institutions and professional associations, organizes educational activities and research and experiential workshops each year that can bring different audiences closer to the history of its Institute and the precious documentary funds preserved in its library and archives. Special attention is paid to the involvement of schools of all levels to counter educational poverty and broaden the horizons of children and youth, to universities and the local community. A strategic tool, which allows a wider sharing of these activities is the portal offered to ecclesiastical institutions BeWeb (Beni Ecclesiastici in Web). The BeWeb portal aims to become a useful tool for facilitating historical dissemination, giving ecclesiastical institutes the opportunity to share their historical research, communication and enhancement activities with different audiences. Among the successful examples of the various activities shared on the BeWeb portal was the show Giovanni Alighieri, of the late Dante, produced on the occasion of the celebrations for the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, for which the Biblioteca Generalizia of the Centro Studi Storici PP. Barnabiti hosted and supported the video filming of the show produced in collaboration with the Cultural Association Xenia. In particular, the research librarian suggested and inspired the very layout of the script and filming by highlighting the Library's evocative seventeenth-century hall - the Sala dei Venti - which thus became a theatre of books, voices, sounds, lights and colours to pay homage to the Poet.
