Conference connection

IFLA Conference: “Libraries: Dynamic Engines for the Knowledge and Information Society” 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, South Korea If you were one of the over 2000 delegates from around the world who attended the 72nd IFLA Conference, you may have seen that the Elsevier booth was a busy place, with people viewing demos of the latest products and finding out first hand what’s new with Scopus.

The popular 15-minute mini-presentations on the Author Identifier and the Citation Tracker features drew large crowds, as did Elsevier Marketing Director Amanda Spiteri’s Industry Update on “Design Rules: The Changing Face of Elsevier’s Leading Web Products.”

On Tuesday night, Elsevier hosted a gala dinner for over 200 guests. A traditional Korean orchestra provided the entertainment, and guest speaker Y.S. Chi, Managing Director Global Academic and Customer Relations from Elsevier’s New York Office, spoke about the South Korean library sector and the future of Elsevier.

See you next year in Durban, South Africa!
