刚收到的消息:2010年澳大利亚布里斯班国际图联大会取消,新的会议地点待定。
通知原文如下:
In 2007 IFLA
announced Brisbane, Australia as the location for the IFLA World
Library and Information Congress (WLIC) for 2010. It is our great
regret to advise that the2010 IFLA WLIC will not be held in
Brisbane. With the uncertainty around the world economic crisis
combined with very limited opportunity for government and local
financial support the Governing Board has agreed that it cannot
risk a potential significant financial loss for IFLA. This is a
great disappointment for the Governing Board members, the National
Committee members, our Australian colleagues, and I'm sure all of
you looking forward to the 2010 WLIC in Brisbane. We will be
announcing separately the new location for the 2010 IFLA
WLIC.
The IFLA Governing Board very much appreciates the hard work of our Australian National Committee colleagues in their efforts to secure government and local industry funding support. At the time of the selection of Brisbane the bid committee advised Governing Board that there would be very limited opportunity for this funding support. The Governing Board was optimistic that this situation would change and that enough support would be identified to make the WLIC financially viable.
A significant
contribution to the WLIC by local government and industry is
required for IFLA to offer its members and delegates, sponsors and
exhibitors the services and quality they expect in our flagship
congress.
The Governing Board
members thank the Brisbane National Committee members for alerting
them to the impact of limited local funding and possible reduced
delegate numbers due to the world economic crisis and restrictions
on travel budgets.

IFLA President 2007 - 2009

2007 - 2009, IFLA President 2009 - 2011
