Here’s What You’ll Find in the March 2012  (Vol 38 No 1) Issue of IFLA Journal

Editorial

Papers from San Juan
Stephen Parker 3

The emphasis in this issue is on papers presented at the World Library and Information Conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in August 2011. These are edited versions of papers which were either selected by members of the Editorial Committee as their personal choices, or recommended for publication by Section Committees and subsequently evaluated and ranked highly by the Editorial Committee. In addition, we have one other paper, from Portugal, which was not presented in San Juan.
