Presidential Theme: "Libraries on the Agenda"
"Libraries on the agenda!" was the motto of IFLA's 2007-2009 president, Prof. Dr. Claudia Lux. During her presidency the top priority was to have the concerns and needs of libraries put on the agenda of governments and local policy makers.
In an interview published in the library journal "Forum Biliothek und Information" (2005), Hft.11/12, p.722ff entitled "We have to sit at the table of political decision makers", she talked about her presidency's plans, list of priorities and wishes.
At a pre-conference to her presidency at the IFLA conference in Seoul in August 2006 she introduced her presidency's motto with a kick off paper.
- Kick off paper for discussion of the presidential theme 2007-2009: "Libraries on the Agenda"
- Initialpapier für die Diskussion des Präsidentschaftsthemas 2007-2009: "Bibliotheken auf die Tagesordnung!"
- Ouverture de la discussion sur le thème présidentiel 2007 - 2009: Les bibliothèques à l'ordre du jour!
