Studies not only on the production, distribution and reading of books started to appear, but also more widely on the book, its materiality, multiple uses, forms, meanings and influences within a given society. Decades of systematic cataloguing, the integration of records into large databases, the development of digital tools and resources which can handle very large quantities of high-quality bibliographical data now make it possible to undertake new kinds of research.The main question this one-day conference will try to address is: what sources and methodologies are now used by librarians, historians and other such users and what are the possible outcomes?We are interested in posters both on manuscripts and printed books which adopt a combined approach to two or more of the following elements:-  Text and images-  Material evidence (former ownership, binding, decoration, manuscript annotations, indications of prices, etc.)-  Historical bibliographical sources (sale and auction catalogues, library catalogues - also of reconstructed collections, early bibliographies, etc.)-   Documentary sources (correspondence, invoices, acquisition registers, purchase bills, etc.)New technologies for tracing the movement of books, new approaches to cataloguing, new types of cooperation between librarians and researchers in which the above-mentioned sources are used could be explored.Each presentation should last 10 minutes. With the aim of producing a coherent and methodologically innovative volume, subject to peer review, the proceedings will be published. The conference and the publication are sponsored by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skolodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 659625. Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words and a short biography, affiliation, and contact information to Laura Carnelos (laura.carnelos@cerl.org) by August 31st.Organizing Committee:Laura Carnelos, Marie Curie Fellow at CERLStephen Parkin, Curator, Printed Heritage Collections (1450-1600), British LibraryCristina Dondi, Oakeshott Senior Research Fellow at Lincoln College (Oxford), Secretary of CERL and creator of Material Evidence in Incunabula (MEI)
