IFLA is delighted to announce that it has appointed Susanne Seidelin to be the new Director of its Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression office (FAIFE). Susanne Seidelin is currently Chief Consultant at the Danish National Library for the Blind and a member of the Board of the DAISY consortium of libraries and organisations for the blind and visually impaired. Ms. Seidelin, accepting the appointment said: "To deal with freedom of expression and free access to information in a global perspective is a once in a lifetime professional and personal challenge. I am greatly looking forward to it." Ross Shimmon, Secretary General of IFLA said that he was sure that Ms. Seidelin, with her strong track record of successful project management and her commitment to enabling people to get access to the knowledge they need, will build on the excellent achievements of FAIFE since its establishment. Ms Seidelin succeeds the founding Director, Jan Ristarp, who recently retired. It is hoped that Ms. Seidelin will take up the post early in the New Year.
