American Society of International Law (ASIL) 111th Annual Meeting
What International Law Values. In this Annual Meeting, we seek to consider the normative basis of international law and how those goals are realized in practice. Does international law reflect the values of the international community? How do these values affect the practice and theory of international law? For that matter, should international law reflect the international community's values, and what constituencies ought to be considered in determining what those values are?

38th Annual IATUL Conference: Embedding Libraries - Service and Development in Context
IATUL's annual conference provides members and other interested professionals with the opportunity to discuss current issues facing tertiary education libraries. With its variety of services, managerial responsibilities, incorporating treasures from the past into the digital world, connecting continuity with innovation, and preparing our patrons for the challenges in a networked information society, the modern university library is a cosmos in itself. It remains, however, part of the university, and is always linked to the service requirements of its members and goals set by the university management. Therefore, the library's mandate and all our endeavours are primarily embedded in the university's strategic processes, along with library services resulting from our mission.
