Two IFLA Satellite Meetings in August

Finland will host two high-standard IFLA satellite meetings on 11 and 12 August 2005, held in conjunction with the Oslo IFLA General Conference (or the World Library and Information Congress). The main Finnish organizer of the events is the Finnish Library Association. The National Library too will take an active part in the preparations. Both meetings will be held in the southern town of Järvenpää.
