Now Open for “Early Bird”-Registration / Official Programme
11th International ILDS “Interlending and Document Supply Conference” in
Germany
“Strategic Alliances and Partnerships in Interlending and Document
Supply” is the
theme of the Conference which will take place from October 20th to 22nd
2009 in
Hannover, Germany.
The ILDS business has always been about a network of partners working
together in the library and publishing arenas, rather than individual
libraries
working in isolation. It is abundantly clear that interactions with
these and other
partners, such as aggregators and subscription agencies, are of great
strategic
importance. It is therefore essential that libraries view document
supply not as an
isolated line of business, but instead as a key component of the overall
process
of library management. This process includes political and legal issues
such as
copyright and negotiations with rights holders as well as technical
developments.
The Hannover conference will also attempt to ascertain the full scope of
ILDS
and plot the direction in which it is heading. It will reveal and
highlight both recent
trends and foreseeable developments.
Contributions from renowned expert speakers from all five continents,
plenty of space for professional and personal exchange and discussion,
as
well as library and regional sight-seeing tours into the outskirts of
Hannover will nourish both mind and soul.
All international participants are invited to visit Germany’s vibrant
capital Berlin or
to attend the Frankfurt International Book Fair in pre- and
post-conference
arrangements which will round off their stay in Germany.
The German Federal Minister of Education and Research, Prof. Annette
Schavan, has accepted the patronage of this conference.
Early Bird Registration is now open [until June 30th, 2009].

The Conference is jointly organized by the International Federation of
Library
Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and the three German National
Libraries: the
German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) in Hannover, the
German National Library of Medicine, Nutrition, Agriculture and
Environment (ZB
MED) in Cologne and Bonn and the German National Library of Economics
(ZBW) in Hamburg and Kiel. All three form the strategic alliance known
as
“Goportis”, bundling and interlocking the libraries’ long-standing
know-how in the
various fields of information supply.
