Announcing the 8th Interlending and Document Supply Conference
The 8th Interlending and 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.
