The School of Library, Archival and Information Studies, University of British Columbia (The iSchool@UBC) is pleased to announce the publication of “The Canada IFLA Adventure: 85 Years of Canadian Participation in the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, 1927 to 2012”.

 

The book project was led by Professor Judith Saltman, with research, interviews and writing by SLAIS students and co-authors Dan Gillean, Jamie McCarthy, Myron Groover, Justin Unrau, and Rachel Balko. The book is published by the Canadian Library Association and was formally launched at the 79th IFLA World Library and Information Congress in Singapore. The book examines the history of Canadian engagement with IFLA for almost a century, and is the result of extensive research in archives, interviews, and international contacts. It is the first book-length work to examine any specific country's involvement with IFLA.
