Canberra, Australia, 28-31 October 2003

CONFERENCE THEME:

"Breaking barriers: reaching users in a digital world" has been chosen as the theme of the 8th IFLA Interlending and Document Supply International Conference announced Dr Toby Burrows, Chair of the Program Committee.

"In one simple statement we wanted to encompass new ways to deliver services to users as well as ways to make our operations more efficient", he said.

The conference will be held at the National Library of Australia, Canberra, Australia, 28 - 31 October 2003.

"This conference brings people together from around the world to contribute their thoughts and ideas on issues that face all of us", Dr Burrows said.

"I know there is a keen interest in coming to Australia for this conference and we plan to have an exciting program to nourish people's minds. We are most interested in the impact of technology and the digital world, whether that is about equity of access, new services, the conundrum of buying or borrowing, and how to get appropriate skills and knowledge. I look forward to seeing you all in just under one year's time in Australia to contribute and share innovative ways of viewing the world, practical advice, the results of research, and lessons learned," he said.
