Subject/topic of contributed papers

Contributed papers must focus on one of the sub-themes of the IFLA Conference.

Applicants should note that papers focusing exclusively on a local/national system or situation are less likely to interest an international audience. The Chinese Organizing Committee has proposed and IFLA has approved the theme and its nine sub-themes:

  1. Libraries as gateways to information
  2. Continuing education of librarians in a changing environment
  3. Resource sharing: local, national and international issues
  4. Identifying user needs
  5. Taking information to the user
  6. Networking and document delivery
  7. The library as a key to exploiting economic resources
  8. Funding of library and information services: dilemmas and solutions
  9. The role and image of libraries in developing countries
