Overview
Overview
The origin of LIBER sprang from a 1968 meeting of the International Federation of Library Associations. Among its founders was Swiss librarian Jean-Pierre Clavel. LIBER held its first conference in Strasbourg in 1971, and continues meeting annually. Its 2026 conference will take place in Trondheim. The group also publishes an open access journal about librarianship, LIBER Quarterly.
