This article provides information on the Paper Preservation Symposium held by the Technical Association for the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C. in October 1988. The symposium had very clear objectives: to describe the deterioration of paper, to describe techniques in production and process that would halt that deterioration, and to enable the scientists and manufacturers to communicate with the library profession and vice versa. The concept of bringing together in one place librarians, conservators, and paper industry personnel to talk about paper was the elegant brainchild of Richard D. Smith, president of Wei T'o Associates, one of the organizers of the symposium. The conference was preceded by a meeting organized by Ellen McCrady of Abbey Publications, which brought together a panel of librarians, conservators, and paper industry people to talk specifically about what each institution represented was doing for the cause of permanent paper. A cluster of other potentially divisive issues was raised around the concept of deacidification. The various deacidification processes halt the deterioration of paper by removing acid. They do not improve the paper but merely arrest its further deterioration.

Despite the long-standing conference model during which participants usually act as passive listeners, a gradual transformation has been taking place. Online meetings are coming to the forefront and online tools supporting interactions between speakers and participants are becoming more common. Workshops and lectures have thus become a space for active participation. The aim of this paper is to present the first-hand experience of the authors with the organization of conferences and educational events at the Slovak National Library and to summarize key trends that can be applied to basically any event. A number of interactive online tools will also be introduced. The importance of taking trends into account leads to the increased attractiveness of events, improved librarian education and collaboration between libraries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From June 13th to 15th, 2022, the 13th International Fluid Technology Colloquium took place in Aachen. The event served as a platform for experts in hydraulic and pneumatic drive, control, and regulation technology to exchange ideas. Despite the COVID situation, 408 participants from 21 countries attended. The colloquium included 116 presentations, a trade exhibition, and covered topics such as tribology, electrification, digitalization, and sustainability. The focus was particularly on the connection between science and industry, as well as the topics of manufacturing and sustainability. Prof. Katharina Schmitz presented the potential of fluid technology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in her lecture. She emphasized the importance of energy efficiency and the changing public opinion and attitudes among manufacturers. Students increasingly ask questions about the contribution of fluid technology to improving the world. The next IFK colloquium is planned for March 2024 in Dresden and will focus on the diversity in drive architectures and digitalization. A Best Paper Award was given for a research paper on calculating sealing friction in pneumatic components. [Extracted from the article]
