Conservation, Accessibility and Public Engagement. A Dialectical Path.
The Ca' Foscari University of Venice Library System has created a macro-collection in Phaidra titled 'Discover the Library Heritage.' In this collection, rare or unique materials, held on the shelves of our libraries and previously displayed in on-site exhibitions during events, anniversaries, and special occasions, are preserved as digital copies and made available to the entire community. This experience gives rise to a critical reflection on the dialectical path between conservation, accessibility, and public engagement. In other words: do dissemination strategies actually reach the public? Does the hybrid model of physical events paired with digital access genuinely enhance user engagement and interest as intended?
