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.

For further information, please see the FAQ section (e.g. payment instructions) or feel free to reach out to us at the conference email address: conferences@beth.eu

Moving a Library: When Sustainability Becomes an Opportunity
Friday September 20, 2024 12:00pm - 12:30pm CEST
Gazi Husrev-beg's Library
Since 2017, the Port-Royal Library has been carrying out a project to relocate its collections, which has been finalised in two phases, in 2021 and 2022. As far as possible, the project has incorporated the sustainable development objectives adopted by the UN's 2030 Agenda and supported by IFLA (International Library Association). While this aspect is certainly a constraint, it has nonetheless been a source of stimulation, and the experience has been rich in opportunities.
