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)
2005 - Tallinn, Estonia (http://www.nlib.ee/ilds)
2007 - Singapore, (http://www.nlbconference.com/ilds/)
2009 - Hannover, Germany (http://www.ilds2009.de/ )

The organisation of this conference is carried out completely by the host organisation, so we are looking for bids from Members who are willing to commit time and staff to the organisation of this event.
However, applicants may wish to use a Professional Conference Organiser. Upon request we can provide more details about the organisational needs.

- Break-out room for parallel session   +/-150-200 seats
- E-mail room                                                                                      5-10 stations
- Speakers rehearsal room                                                               with 1 PC
- Baggage storage room

- Exhibition area                                                                                 with space for +/- 15-20 tables
- Lounge area for coffee breaks and lunch

Both conference rooms need to be equipped with AV equipment such as a PC with Internet connection a beamer and a sound system.

Please send in your bids, including statement of intent to indicate that the institution is fully aware of the time and staffing implications the organisation of this event has and an outline of the proposed venue to IFLA Headquarters no later than Thursday 15 January 2009.

It will be a joint decision between the Governing Board of IFLA and the IFLA Document Delivery and Resource Sharing Section. The Announcement will be made shortly after that via IFLA's regular channels, like the IFLA web-site and IFLA-L.

The decision will be made based on the statement of intent and the venue requirements. The desire of IFLA and Document Delivery and Resource Sharing Section to hold the conference in different regions of the world will also be taken into account.
