PRESS RELEASE: For immediate release
8 February 2001

The Hague, Netherlands

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is pleased to introduce a new special category of membership for students.

This new category provides the opportunity for students who are interested in issues facing the international library and information community to receive the latest information and to support the activities and objectives of the Federation.

The Student Affiliate benefits include:

  • a subscription to the IFLA Journal
  • free registration in one of IFLA's 35 professional Sections
  • a discount on the purchase of publications
  • standard member discount on registration fees for the Annual General Conference

The annual membership fee is only NLG 110 (50 Euros) per year.

The offer is open to students in full- or part-time education. Proof of registration must be provided with application. This may be in the form of a photocopy of an institution student card or an International Student Identity (ISIC) Card. Students may belong to this category for a maximum of two years; after this period they can transfer to Personal Affiliate membership.

Kay Raseroka, Chair of IFLA's Membership Development Committee commented: "I am thrilled that we are now able to offer students the opportunity to join IFLA. They can become involved in the international library and information community at the beginning of their professional lives. Student participation will also provide IFLA with stability and continuity by having members involved at all stages of their careers."

The IFLA Student Affiliate offer is being run on a four-year trial basis, to determine the level of interest in student involvement in the Federation.

For further information, and application details, please contact the Membership Manager at membership@ifla.org.
