Networking for library managers

 

At Axiell's Nordic Symposium library managers from Denmark, Sweden and Finland meet each other and discuss important issues for the library sector's further development.

 

In 2008 it was "The entrepreneurial library" and in 2007 the theme was "Citizens libraries - libraries for citizens; needs and expectations".

 

In 2009 we will have a similar symposium - this time it will include our customers in the UK. More about theme and date later.
