IFLA: Open Access to Knowledge at World Library and Information Congress

摘要

IFLA, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, reports that it is the "global voice of the library and information pro- fession." This year, it raised its voice in support of Open Access to Knowledge-Promoting Sustainable Progress at its World Library and Information Congress (WLIC), Aug. 10-15 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The conference theme echoed Ellen Tise's presidential theme of Libraries Driving Access to Knowledge. The conference, which attracted nearly 4,000 people from 128 countries, featured 350 papers, 80 exhibitors, and 200 posters.
