91´«Ã½

Beverly P. Lynch

Professor
UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies

IRRT member since: I have been an IRRT member since the late 1980s after being elected president of 91´«Ã½. I served as IRRT chair in 1995/96.

Most enjoyable international library project/projects:

I chaired the IFLA committee which wrote the Standards for University Libraries and represented 91´«Ã½ on the IFLA Standing Committee on University Libraries and on the Standing Committee on Library Theory and Research which I have chaired. I proposed the first China-US Library Cooperation conference held in Beijing, China, chaired the organizing committee for the second China-US Library Cooperation conference held in New York, and was a member of the organizing committee for the third series in Shanghi, China. I had the good fortune to study university libraries in India on a Fulbright and to study university libraries in Cyprus and Greece and public libraries in England users.

Three words to new IRRT members: Participate in global librarianship as much as possible.
