International Indigenous Librarians Forum 2001
From 58 September 2001, the second International Indigenous Librarians Forum will take place in Jokkmokk, Sweden. The first Forum was hosted by Te Ropu Whakahau (Maori Library and Information Workers) and held in Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand in November 1999. The 2001 Forum, hosted by the Sami Council, will be a continuation and expansion of the issues dealt with at the first meeting. This second Forum will take place amid the beautiful scenery of northern Sweden, which is a part of Sapmi, the Sami homeland.
Additional information about the Forum is available at www.sapmi.net/indigilib/. Conference attendees may also be interested in attending the Barents Libraries Conference (September 1012, 2001), also in Jokkmokk, and/or the Goteborg Book Festival, from September 1314. Proposals for papers, panels or presentations are invited on all aspects of indigenous librarianship. Talks should be long enough to be presented in 20 minutes.
