IFLA 2013
How Fantastic that we will be in Singapore in 2013. I will begin planning immediately to once again engage in the cultural offerings of that region. It will be fantastic to return and to see the changes since we were in Bangkok for IFLA in 1998, I believe. The region also offers wonderful opportunities for satellite conferences. Old friends and new ones from IFLA 2011 Puerto Rico start planning now for IFLA 2013.
Great news. Hope to see you
