Message from H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn the Patron of the Thai Library Association

There is no denying that academic knowledge and general information are essential elements and motivating forces for all activities directed towards prosperity, peace, intellectual and scientific inventions, aesthetic creation and appreciation, mutual understanding of culture and religion, and the eradication of ignorance, injustice and poverty. 

In the 21st century, which is only a few months ahead,  worldwide access to knowledge and information will serve as a catalyst to meet and tackle problems in everyday life and to build up the quality of life for both the individual as well as the world community. It is therefore necessary for library and information professionals from all parts of the world to take up the challenges and scrutinize every relevant aspect of the theme - On the Threshold of the 21st Century : Libraries as Gateways to an Enlightened World. Now is the time to decide on appropriate programme activities to fulfill the ultimate goal of library and information professionals wordwide: Information for All - All for Information. 

In 1999, IFLA will reach its 72nd Anniversary. According to the Thai traditional belief, it is a golden and very auspicious year. Seventy two years of accumulating professional wisdom and experience will make IFLA the world pillar of the library and information profession and a dynamic catalyst for building up "An Enlightened World" to come in the very near future. 

I wish the best success for IFLA '99 Bangkok.
