Invitation to the 30th Annual IATUL Conference

The International Association of Technological University Libraries (IATUL) and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KULeuven), Campusbibliotheek Arenberg, are pleased to invite you to Heverlee (Leuven), Belgium, in order to take part in the 30th IATUL Conference with the theme "Just for you, Quality through Innovation", to be held from 1 to 4 June 2009.

For the first time in the history of IATUL, a parallel session in French will be organised on Tuesday 2 June in our sister university the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) at Louvain-la-Neuve.

Whereas the new digital environment can bring more uniformity to libraries, the quality of their services becomes more and more the distinguishing feature for excellence. Technical universities have a special responsibility for the development of innovative processes that are necessary for delivering these qualitative services. For this reason, the theme of the conference has been chosen to stress the importance of quality and innovation.
We are especially welcoming contributions in the domains of innovation management, reengineering through information technology, e-accessibility, benchmarking for best practices, quality through improved services, quality results in financial savings, gaining quality through innovation.
