XLVII SALALM Conference
June 1-4, 2002
Trends and Traditions in Latin American and Caribbean History
The forty-seventh Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library
Materials (SALALM) hosted by Cornell University Library will take place in
Ithaca, New
York, on June 1-4, 2002.
The conference theme, Trends and Traditions in Latin American and Caribbean
History, provides an opportunity to discuss new directions in Latin
American historical research, including the application of new
methodologies and the full range of primary source materials that
librarians collect to support this research. Panelists will discuss a
variety of topics in political, economic and social history, which have
been the focus of new scholarship and theoretical debate. Examples of some
of these topics include race and slavery, nation building and national
identities, literature and history, popular culture and other
interdisciplinary approaches. We will also examine emerging issues in the
preservation of library materials, the development of digital collections,
and the history of book in Latin America. There will be exhibits by book
vendors and publishers who specialize in providing Latin American and
Caribbean materials in both print and nonprint formats.
Conference lodging, most of the meetings and the book exhibits will take
place in the Statler Hotel, located on the campus of Cornell University.
Invitations and registration materials for SALALM XLVII will be mailed in
January 2002

Organized in 1956 under the aegis of the Organization of American States'
Library and Bibliographic Development Program, and incorporated as an
independent association in 1968, SALALM continues to address the needs of
librarians, booksellers, educators and others concerned with building
library collections of Latin American and Caribbean materials and making
them available for scholarly use. Recent conferences hosted by Arizona
State University Library (2001), University of California, Los Angeles
(2000), Vanderbilt University (1999), the Library System of the University
of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras (1998) and the Library of Congress (1997), have
attracted an increasing number of participants from around the world.
