Over 3,000 librarians from 116 different countries gathered in Durban South Africa, 19-23 August, for IFLA’s 73rd World Library and Information Congress, entitled Libraries for the Future: Progress, Development and Partnerships. It was only the second IFLA conference in Africa, the first being in Kenya in 1984.
South Africa was the obvious choice for bringing IFLA back to Africa. IFLA’s first African president, Kay Raseroka from the University of Botswana, was born in Durban. Its President-elect, Ellen Tise, Senior Director: Library and Information Services University of Stellenbosch, is South African, as is its Secretary General, Prof Peter Lor, from the University of Pretoria.
