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.

Digital Transformation for Sustainable Collection Management: RELINDIAL's Role in Networking
Thursday September 19, 2024 10:30am - 11:00am CEST
Gazi Husrev-beg's Library
Relindial is an acronym for “Religions: Libraries and Dialogue,” a Special Interest Group dedicated to libraries serving as places of dialogue between cultures through a better knowledge of religions. Libraries that follow Relindial are not only Libraries specialising in religion (theology libraries, religious science libraries) but also libraries with specialised collections on religious issues, (history, theology, anthropology, etc) or faced with questions involving religious aspects. Associations of Libraries can follow RELINDIAL also. Libraries are places of dialogue, openness, and tolerance, and they offer food for thought. Religious libraries or libraries with religious interests often host documents to preserve and protect them. Within IFLA, libraries that house religious collections – whatever the religion represented – have a common place where they can: • share their experiences, • increase global awareness of the messages of peace of their collections, • provide better access to the tools designed to help people learn about the religious roots of culture. As theology libraries play an important role in advancing sustainability and social responsibility within their communities, in 2024, the Relindial SIG in collaboration with other IFLA study groups organised the IFLA Midterm Meeting in Rome. The first day, hosted by the Vatican Library, had this title: Digital preservation and a sustainable future. This day brings together researchers and practitioners, teachers, librarians, students and representatives of library associations to focus on the challenges of sustainable digital preservation and reuse. This conference aimed to provide a platform for sharing best practices, innovative ideas, and collaborative initiatives that align with the UN SDGs, with a special emphasis on Goal 17.
