11th International IFLA "Interlending and Document Supply Conference" in Germany
Now Open for “Early Bird”-Registration / Official Programme Release
“Strategic Alliances and Partnerships in Interlending and Document Supply” is the theme of the Conference which will take place from October 20th to 22nd 2009 in Hannover, Germany.
The ILDS business has always been about a network of partners working together in the library and publishing arenas, rather than individual libraries working in isolation. It is abundantly clear that interactions with these and other partners, such as aggregators and subscription agencies, are of great strategic importance. It is therefore essential that libraries view document supply not as an isolated line of business, but instead as a key component of the overall process of library management. This process includes political and legal issues such as copyright and negotiations with rights holders as well as technical developments.
The Hannover conference will also attempt to assess oder ascertain the full scope of ILDS and plot the direction in which it is heading. It will reveal and highlight both recent trends and foreseeable developments.
Contributions from renowned expert speakers from all five continents, plenty of space for professional and personal exchange and discussion, as well as library and regional sight-seeing tours into the outskirts of Hannover will nourish both mind and soul.
All international participants are invited to visit Germany’s vibrant capital Berlin or to attend the Frankfurt International Book Fair in pre- and post-conference arrangements which will round off their stay in Germany.
Early Bird Registration is now open [until June 30th, 2009].

The Conference is jointly organized by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and the three German National Libraries: the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) in Hannover, the German National Library of Medicine, Nutrition, Agriculture and Environment (ZB MED) in Cologne and Bonn and the German National Library of Economics (ZBW) in Hamburg and Kiel. All three form the strategic alliance known as “Goportis”, bundling and interlocking the libraries’ long-standing know-how in the various fields of information supply.
