Library Association Conferences

The Croatian Library Association will be hosting four conferences this year: LIDA, TIE, the IFLA Metropolitan Libraries Conference and the Spring School of School Librarians.

LIDA is Libraries in the Digital Age, an annual conference first held in 2000 in Dubrovnik, which focuses on the position of libraries in the digital world. After nine years in Zagreb, this year's conference will be held in Zadar.

TIE is the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium, which is holding its annual conference in Zadar this year. Although this year's program is still to be determined, they are accepting papers regarding digital texts and language resources.

IFLA's Metropolitan Libraries section will hold its annual conference in Zagreb this year. Their theme is Metropolitan Libraries: Enduring Values and Excellence.

The Spring School of School Librarians is an annual event held in Zagreb. This year their focus is on school librarians involvement in school curriculum, especially concerning the leisure time of students.

In addition to these conferences, the CLA will be participating in five other conferences around the world.
