World Library and Information Congress: 69th IFLA General Conference and Council Access Point Library: Media - Information - Culture August 1st - 9th 2003 Berlin, Germany Patron: German Federal President Johannes Rau

INDEX CONFERENCE INFORMATION PROGRAMME AND PROCEEDINGS REGISTRATION AND HOTELS CONTACTS IN THIS DOCUMENT:		Call for Papers - Government Libraries Section Open Session - Theme: Changing governments, changing libraries Changing political systems do have - among other things - an impact on govern-ment libraries and information services. Being in Germany, where a lot of changes have taken place since German unification in 1990, it is good opportunity to reflect on this topic. The Section of Government Libraries plans an Open Session and an Off-site-Workshop. The Open Session focuses on experiences and examples from Eastern Europe and other countries with recent political changes, the workshop on German experiences. The Open Session seeks to bring together government and parliamentary librarians to: share experiences discuss the impact of changes on organisation, location or information services compare solutions find models of change. The workshop focusses on German speakers presenting the German experience (new German Laender, move of the government from Bonn to Berlin...). The Open Session will probably take place on Wednesday, August 6th. It will be fol-lowed by the Off-site Workshop on Thursday, August 7th, in one of the German Federal ministries in Berlin.
