Message of welcome from Her Majesty the Queen.

I send my warm thanks to the members of The Library Association for their kind and loyal message of greetings sent on the occasion of both the sixty-eighth General Conference and Council of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions and the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Federation’s formation in Scotland in 1927.

As Patron of the Association, I send my best wishes to both delegates and speakers at the Conference and Council for the success and enjoyment of the lectures and activities which have been planned. I hope that the gathering will prove stimulating and of value to all who participate.

Divisions, Sections and Round Tables

Sections and Round Tables are grouped into eight Divisions.

Sections are the primary focus for the Federation’s work in a particular type of library and information service, in an aspect of library and information science or in a region.

All IFLA members are entitled to register for Sections of their choice. Once registered, voting members have the right to nominate specialists for the Standing Committee of the Sections for which they are registered. The Standing Committee is the key group of professionals who develop and monitor the programme of the Section.

Round Tables - (RT) in table opposite - are less formal groupings which cater for aspects of library and information services and which do not require the establishment of a Section.

Discussion Groups

Discussion Groups may be set up, on a temporary and informal basis, to enable groups of members to discuss specific professional issues, or social and cultural issues relating to the profession. Discussion Groups may be Need to know program established for a two year renewable term and must be sponsored by a Section. Visit www.ifla.org or contact IFLA Headquarters

1 Glasgow - The City

Upfront and affable, Scotland’s largest City overflows with sheer personality and a sense of style. Its story has always been bound up with trade, first with the Americas (it still has a Jamaica and a Virginia Street), then in the 19th century it became the ‘second city of the Empire’. Today, a symbol of those far-off days is the Tall Ship in Glasgow harbour, S.V. Glenlee. Built in 1896, she is one of only five Clyde-built sailing ships afloat. On board displays now tell her story, and evoke the epic trading voyages which helped create

Glasgow’s wealth. It is the legacy of The City Crest The Mackintosh Style these times which contribute much to the fine Victorian cityscape of today - arguably the best in the UK and symbolised by the ornate marbled pillars and staircases of Glasgow City Chambers.

Glasgow City Chambers Be active - The Scottish Tour Guides Association operates city walks throughout the Summer which offer an educational and fun way to discover this great city.

Be spoiled - indulge in some designer shopping at the Italian Centre or Princes Square.

Be enlightened - the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art certainly makes for a thought-provoking visit.
