IFLA Sections and SLA members on the Standing Committees
SLA belongs to 23 of the 45 IFLA Sections. These are identified by an "*" and bolding. Not all IFLA Section Committees have an SLA member on them. Not all nominees were elected, so not all Sections of which SLA is member have a representative. The next election cycle will occur in 2009 for 2009-2013. Please contact Doug Newcomb (dnewcomb@sla.org) any questions regarding the following information of interest in positions with IFLA.
