letter of the AIB president to the exhibitors
I would like first of all to thank all those who participated in the
third edition of Bibliocom which was held in the Palazzo dei Congressi
of EUR from 15th to 17th October 2002.
After two years of experiments, AIB has decided to consolidate the
BIBLIOCOM annual event in Rome in the month of October to make it a
fundamental appointment for the operators, professional persons, firms,
public and private bodies, professional associations who operate in the
sector of libraries, archives and museums, information and documentation
services, supply of technology, furnishings, constructions, in
publishing and in the cultural industry, in didactic technology, data
bases and knowledge management.
We have the high patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, the
support and participation of various Ministries among which that of
Education, of Cultural Heritage and Activity, the sponsorship of the
Region, the Province and the Municipality, and the support of the
International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
(IFLA).
AIB will convene as usual its annual Congress and General Assembly in
the days and in the venue of BIBLIOCOM.
The flattering results of the first three editions will certainly be
exceeded in the next edition for which various companies of the sector
have already announced that they will be bringing large innovations in
the field of supplies and services and that they will themselves be
promoting events within the event. This confirms that BIBLIOCOM is the
most important exhibition-convention of the sector in Italy.
In this regard I would like to point out that, as in the previous
edition, apart from the traditional offers present in the price list,
there will also be the figure of the
Official sponsor of the exhibition.
This role is reserved each year to no more than three firms, each of
which operating in a different commodity sector. I would therefore like
to invite the firms interested to contact us in early May, while
reminding them that the programme for Bibliocom 2003, of which a draft
copy is already available, will be officially presented before the end
of the same month.
In the attached dossier you will find a brief summary of the 2002
edition and some initial information on the programme of the 2003
edition. The latter will have some particular characteristics such as
convention and scientific activity of great interest, part of which will
be organized and promoted by the firms and competitors who so request.
Among the innovation, there will be the presence of a booth dedicated to
the Swiss libraries within Bibliocom initiative "Biblioteche senza
frontiere" (Libraries with no borders)
Following the success of last edition, the Bibliocom awards are
confirmed with the assignment of some prizes to the libraries and their
promoters within the campaign @your library promoted by IFLA.
Our exhibition is thus confirmed as the most important Italian
appointment of the sector and one of the most significant in Europe,
characterized by the repositioning of the role of the partner firms and
by the opening to the world of the professions of related sectors
(schools, archives, museums, Web, etc.).
I wish to thank you for the confidence that you have shown to us thus
far and I am sure that we will be able to travel far together.
I obviously want also to thank the new friends who decide to subscribe
to our initiatives and I hope that they find their participation
interesting and profitable.
