An IFLA Workshop. Organized by the Library History Group of the Library Association and the IFLA Round Table on Library History.
Many years have passed since Paul Kaufman coined the term 'Community library' and identified its possible home in Scotland. The workshop will revisit this theme in a country where the community library was once pre-eminent. An IFLA visit to surviving historic rural community libraries will take place on Thursday 22nd August.
Proposals for papers are invited on any aspect of Community Library History in any country. A committee of the Library History Group of the Library Association will referee proposals submitted. It is anticipated that a maximum of eight will be selected. Abstracts (maximum of 300 words) by October 1st 2001.
Venue: The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow which is one of Scotland's oldest professional associations, is located in St. Vincent Street in Central Glasgow and has generously offered to host the workshop including a free lunch and sherry reception at the conclusion of the workshop.
Details: Dr John Crawford, Caledonian Library and Information Centre, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow, G4 OBA
