Conference report-IFLA in Oslo: a voyage of discovery

摘要

Using the image of a Viking Longship, this year's IFLA conference invited us to embark on a "voyage of discovery" - a new millennium journey through the information world of ideas, imagination and knowledge to parallel the age of exploration a thousand years ago when Nordic seafarers journeyed across the globe. The conference also invited us to experience modern Norway - a country celebrating the centenary of its independence and rightly proud of a society based on human rights, intellectual freedom, democracy or a decent livelihood for all its citizens.
