LIBER will hold its 2010 Conference entitled “Re-Inventing the Library. The challenges of the new information environment” from 29 June to 2 July in Aarhus (Denmark).

Please note that applications from LIBER Libraries for support from the LIBER Annual Conference Fund to attend the 39th LIBER Annual Conference in Aarhus State and University Library, Aarhus, Denmark, 29 June to 2 July 2010, should be made by 31 January 2010.

The results of the surveys conducted by PARSE.Insight are officially available at http://www.parse-insight.eu/publications.php#d3-4.

LIBER prepared a response to the EC Public Consultation on Content Online launched in October last year, based on previous LIBER responses and after having read the opinions of EBLIDA and JISC. We are pretty confident that this response, sent to the European Commission on 5 January, truly reflects the position of European research libraries.
