Dear colleague,
At the XV IADA Congress, that will take place in Halle/Leipzig, Germany, in October 2023, we will present a paper about the use of social media and online resources by book and paper conservators globally.
The paper will illustrate the fundamentals and main purposes of digital communication in our field, investigating the possibilities as well as the potential risks offered by social media as tools for public engagement, awareness-raising and advocacy in our sector.
We will also touch on issues such as what voices make the international narrative around conservation, and the effects of cultural and linguistic barriers on communicating the field of book and paper conservation. Here is where your input is going to be essential, so thank you for being here and answering this questionnaire.
Paola Fagnola & Gloria Conti


The first part of the questionnaire is aimed at identifying how the use of social media and online resources in the professional context are affected by demographics.
