If you are interested in the Rare Books and Special Collections section, and in the issues involved in working with rare books and special collections of any kind, please come and speak to us at the Congress. You are invited to attend our off-site day on the Monday and our on-site programme session and the sessions we have been involved with, to attend either or both of our Section Business Meetings, and to talk to members of the Rare Standing Committee during the Congress.

If you would like to become more involved with the work of the Section: we extend to anyone who is interested in joining the committee or in becoming a corresponding member a warm invitation to attend our Section Business Meetings and speak to us informally about what is involved. Several of our members will be standing down from the Standing Committee in 2017 and we will be looking to fill vacancies. The nomination procedure will open in late 2016.

The RBSC co-organises and sponsors conferences and seminars outside the WLIC. Please do take the opportunity during the Congress to discuss any such events, or the hosting of future satellite or mid-term Section meetings, with us.

IFLA RBSC Section Officers: Helen Vincent (chair), Krister Ostlund (secretary), Daryl Green (information coordinator)
