ILDS 2009

11th Interlending and Document Supply (ILDS) Conference, Hannover, Germany. October 20th – 22nd, 2009

Message from the FIL Committee

The Committee would like to nominate and sponsor a FIL member to attend this year's ILDS Conference on behalf of The Forum for Interlending. The conference will be held in Hannover in October. See the web site www.ilds2009.de for more information.
Oberstrasse in Hannover

The conference title is: Strategic Alliances and Partnerships in Interlending and Document Supply and topics will include:

  • Resource sharing

  • Cooperation in document supply

  • Rights, licensing and distribution

This should provide a valuable opportunity for FIL to maintain and expand its involvement with worldwide interlending issues, as well as providing an exciting opportunity for the individual concerned. All FIL members are invited to put their names forward. Obviously you’ll need to check with your employer beforehand to ensure that they would be happy to permit you to take time off work to attend the conference, which runs from Tuesday October 20th to Thursday October 22nd (and you’ll need to allow for an extra day for travelling.)

If you are nominated, your expenses (conference fees, travel, accommodation and meals) will be paid by FIL. All we ask in return is for you to attend a FIL committee meeting after the event and report back to us. We will also ask you to write a piece on the Conference for the Newsletter.

If you are interested, please email Rose Goodier at The University of Manchester and let her know that you would like to attend this Conference as a representative of FIL. Rose's email address is: rose.goodier@manchester.ac.uk

The closing date for nominations is March 20th, 2009. If a tiebreaker is needed, we will draw names out of a hat if necessary.

Best wishes
Rose Goodier on behalf of the FIL Committee
