Learning from the Past, Informing the Future
April 7-9, 2025
Fiesole, Italy
The brainchild of Mario Casalini, Rebecca Lenzini and Katina Strauch, the Fiesole Collection Development Retreat Series was established on the basis of a shared idea and desire to foster and stimulate dialogue and collaboration within the scholarly communication sector. The Fiesole Retreat is an informal meeting of leading library and information industry participants devoted to thinking through and debating the new world order in collection development. The Fiesole Retreat offers a unique opportunity to interact with a select group of your colleagues in a relaxed and thoughtful setting.
Established in 1958, Casalini Libri is an international bibliographic agency and supplier of academic publications. Together with sister companies Erasmus Boekhandel and @Cult, Casalini Libri provides expert support to libraries and collaborates with publishers in areas such as collection development, cataloguing, and facilitating discovery and access to research publications in print and digital formats.
Against the Grain is a key to the latest news about libraries, publishers, book jobbers, and subscription agents. Its goal is to link publishers, vendors, and librarians by reporting on the issues, literature, and people that impact the world of books and journals.
The Charleston Advisor publishes critical reviews of online resources for libraries. To maintain a high level of accuracy and integrity, all reviews are peer-reviewed by experienced librarians. Its reviewers come from all areas of librarianship and from all types of libraries, ensuring that products are reviewed by people who actually use them.
