International Library Conference in Australia in 2003
The 8th Interlending & Document Supply International Conference will be held
at the National Library of Australia in Canberra, Australia, from 28 - 31
October 2003.
"I welcome the opportunity for this conference to be held in Australia,"
said Toby Burrows, Chair of Australia's National Resource Sharing Working
Group who will lead the conference supported by the National Library Of
Australia (NLA) and the Australian Library and Information Association
(ALIA).
"Interlending and document supply is one of the cornerstones of any
library's operations and we intend to make this conference stimulating and
interesting."
"The National Library of Australia is very pleased to host the conference,"
said Jan Fullerton, Director-General of the National Library. "The
continuing development of technology and the increasing use of electronic
publications make this an exciting time for the international community to
come together to discuss the delivery of quality services to users. I look
forward to meeting delegates at the National Library in October 2003."
"International conferences are an important tool to empower our profession
in the development, promotion and delivery of quality library and
information services," said Jennefer Nicholson, the Executive Director of
ALIA.
"Meeting old friends, developing new friendships, exchanging ideas and
discovering new ways of doing things will be a pleasant experience in the
relaxed atmosphere of Canberra in what will be the middle of Australia's
Spring".
Further details, including the conference themes and a call for papers, will
follow later this year. Enquiries should be made to:
