EURIM

Abstract

The first European conference on research into the management of information services and libraries (EURIM) was held at Unesco Headquarters, Paris, from 20–22 November 1973. It was conceived and organized by Aslib with the co‐sponsorship of the Association Nationale de la Recherche Technique, the Bibliothèque Royale de Belgique, the Consiglio Nazionale delle Richerche, the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Dokumentation, NOBIN and NORD‐FORSK. The organization was an exercise in international co‐operation; the outstandingly high attendance—touching the 300 mark—could never have been achieved without the energetic publicity efforts of all the sponsors. Nor was this attendance confined to the sponsoring countries. Delegates were drawn from Algeria (2), Austria (3), Belgium (17), Czechoslovakia (1), Den‐mark (2), Finland (1), France (105), Germany (20), Ireland (1), Italy (6), Luxem‐bourg (3), Netherlands (37), Norway (4), Portugal (1), Roumania (2), Sweden (3), Switzerland (7), Tunisia (1), Turkey (2), United Kingdom (78), USA (2), Yugoslavia (1). The luxurious accommodation and impeccable arrangements at Unesco made an ideal setting for this event and artistic relief of the highest order was provided by the conducted visit, arranged by the Delegation General de la Recherche Scientifique et Technique with the generous co‐operation of the Directeur des Bibliothèques de France, the Directeur du Bureau National de Documentation and the Directeur des Musées de France, to the outstanding exhibition of paintings by Georges Braque at the Musée de l'Orangerie.
