[ILL-L] Will you host the 2011 International ILDS Conference?

[Poul Erlandsen]

Call for bids to host the

12th Interlending and Document Supply Conference (ILDS) 2011

 

IFLA, the International Federation of Library Associations and
Institutions, invites from IFLA Members bids to host the 12th
Interlending and Document Supply Conference to be held in October 2011.

 

Interlending and document supply is one of the cornerstones of any
library's operations. The continuing development of technology and the
increasing use of electronic publications make this conference an
exciting opportunity for the international community to come together to
discuss the delivery of quality services to users.  In the past this
conference has attracted between 250 and 300 delegates.

 

The first Interlending and Document Supply Conference was held in 1988
in London. The second year it was held in London as well. With a 3-year
interval it then moved to Budapest, Hungary. In the years after that it
travelled around the world on a biennial cycle:

 

1988 - London, United Kingdom

1990 - London, United Kingdom

1993 - Budapest, Hungary

1995 - Calgary, Canada

1997 - Aarhus, Denmark

1999 - Pretoria, South Africa

2001 - Ljubljana, Slovenia

2003 - Canberra, Australia  (http://www.nla.gov.au/ilds/index.html
