Change of IFLANET Web site address Keywords Libraries, Network management

IFLA has registered "www.ifla.org" as an Internet domain name. This new address, which has been in operation since January 1998, has replaced "www.nlc-bnc.ca/ifla/" as the official address of IFLANET. All requests to the former address will be redirected to www.ifla.org. Please update your links accordingly.

IFLANET Administration registered www.ifla.org as an Internet domain name to identify more closely IFLANET's address with the organisation itself. This new name is now to be considered the primary address of IFLANET. The old address reflected the fact that IFLANET was contained in a sub-directory of the National Library of Canada's Web server. IFLANET (and its files) has been moved to its own "virtual" Web server at the National Library which has the address, www.ifla.org

Even though the IFLANET files are on a different server, the directory structure remains exactly the same. Thus, changes in IFLANET URLs can be made very simply, in a consistent and systematic manner. To change IFLANET URLs from the old form to the new form, simply replace www.nlc-bnc.ca/ifla/ with www.ifla.org/ All other parts of the URL remain the same.

Please make sure that all of your bookmarks and links have been updated to reflect the new address. When referring to IFLANET in publications ­ whether on paper or online please use the new address.
