World Library and Information Congress, Quebec, 2008: dosing address by the President of IFLA

摘要

What a great conference this was! A great global market of successful work achieved in the profession during the last year and reported at this great event. We all collected new ideas to take home and new friendships were created. Everything went so well and I saw smiling faces everywhere. This was due to the wonderful organization by the National Committee and by Concorde our professional conference organizer on one side and the IFLA core programs, sections and special interest groups on the other side. Most of all I want to thank all of you for the work you have done in preparing this conference and in presenting the results of your daily work to a global audience. I am very impressed by your work, your ideas and your dedication to IFLA. This IFLA Congress has highlighted many successes and shown how libraries support development in education and science and improve people's lives.
