IALL's continuing affiliation with LLA-Japan (a name change for this organization will be announced at the FLEAT IV conference) is important for the international perspective it brings to our organization and our membership. Our two organizations share many common interests, but there are also significant differences that each can contribute to the other. Through ongoing joint conferences, the sharing of journal content and other shared participatory activities, IALL can both contribute to and benefit from this international collaboration.
Cross-publication of journal content has been basically on hold since the death of Jiro Ochiai (LLA) a couple years ago. This summer's conference will provide a good opportunity to discuss this with LLA leadership as well as ways in which the two organizations can maintain ongoing collaborative activities (versus solely relying on these intensive conference activities).
