IFLA World to Library, Archive and Information Science Associations
by kaushal giri 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

To All, In cooperation with IFLA, the publisher De Gruyter Saur is currently updating the "World Guide to Library, Archive and Information Science Associations". The new 3rd edition is scheduled for publication in June 2010. Non-profit associations concerned with the fields of librarianship, documentation, information science and archives, operating on an international or national level will be included free of charge. We would like to ask for your help in providing a new up-to-date reference tool for networking within the LIS field. Over the next months, detailed questionnaires will be mailed to all associations world-wide. On our website under http://www.ifla.org/en/publications/wgla you will find an overview of the information as it was published in the previous edition. In the preparation of the questionnaires we have created control sheets for each country which are meant to be annotated and returned to the editors. We are looking for any feedback indicating what is missing or outdated in the control sheets. We are particularly interested for the contact details of associations which are unlisted in order for them to receive our detailed questionnaire. There is also a template questionnaire for those associations – listed or unlisted so far – wishing to submit their information details immediately. Please spread the news regarding our survey to all the relevant experts whom you consider suitable. You can also send your feedback by e-mail directly to Alexandra Meinhold who is in charge of the survey at De Gruyter Saur: * alexandra.meinhold(a)degruyter.com<alexandra.meinhold(a)degruyter.com?subject=WGLA> *. Please note that the ultimate editorial deadline is the end of April 2010. Thank you in advance for your help. Thanks & Regards Kaushal.
