Discussion Group on Information and Documentation at Boston

We invite you to attend this meeting during the IFLA General Conference at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston.

As you may know, the International Federation for Information and Documentation/Fédération Internationale d'Information et Documentation (FID) has in practice ceased to exist. Please refer to the Open Letter on IFLA and FID.

IFLA remains willing to do whatever is appropriate to enable former FID members to continue their interests and their contributions to improving the quality of information systems. FID has achieved a great deal since its establishment in 1895. It would be sad if there was no way for its distinctive contribution to continue.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss and consider which possibilities there are to continue any professional activities that were previously taking place under FID's umbrella.

Ms Kirsten Engelstad who is the Director General of the National Office for Research Documentation, Academic and Special Libraries in Oslo, Norway has kindly agreed to chair this important meeting.
