Issues of sustaina bility touch every aspect of library activity—collections development\, resource allocation\, ethical issues in balancing priorities and juggling professional practices\, the use of digitization\, programming and outreac h\, and the changing needs of scholars. These and other topics are central to thinking forward\, creating a vision of sustainable practices for spec ial collections and rare book libraries.\n\nSustaining Visions and Legacie s: The Future of Special Collections Libraries is framed by the particular challenges of rare collections in unique libraries housed in historical s ites and buildings\, located in communities beyond university campuses\, a nd whose collections pose challenges in terms of the changing communities in which they reside\, serve\, and take part. Speakers will address the th ematic\, pragmatic\, and problematic issues of site-specificity and sustai nability in unique heritage collections. While sustainability often invoke s notions of environmentalism and "green" practices\, this conference cons iders sustainability in a more holistic sense\, at the intersection of sit e specificity\, community\, collections\, and special collections.\n\nSpea kers\nTanya E.
