Management and Marketing Section
Formation of the
Section
The Section was formed as the Round Table on Management. A growing
interest in marketing resulted in the IFLA Professional Board
establishing a new Section on Management and Marketing in 1997. The
interest in the Section was evident when over 70 members joined at the
start of 1998. New members are always welcome, and encouraged to
participate in the work of the Section whether or not they are able to
attend the IFLA conferences. Much of the work of the Section is done by
e-mail in addition to postal services. One example of this active
participation using e-mail has been the production of annual reviews of
the management literature by members in Argentina.
In broad terms the Section's interests focus on management and
marketing and the Discussion Group on Advocacy is attached to the
Section.
