To: Odile DUPONT <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Dear colleagues, dear friends, Just coming back home after this first meeting of our Special Interest Group IFLA RELINDIAL, I want to thank all of you for your support and help from the beginning of the idea of opening a new SIG within IFLA, devoted to libraries serving interfaith dialogue. I will sum up the last developments that have been achieved during this 78th World Library and Information Congress of IFLA in Helsinki this year. The meeting and the papers The most important, for sure, was our first meeting that gathered librarians from 5 continents, 16 countries, for a number of attendees of 36 persons. Thanks to our speakers, Brother René-Vincent du Grandlaunay and Amélie Vallotton, the assembly has been highly interested by the experience of the IDEO, Institut Dominicain du Caire, http://alkindi.ideo-cairo.org/ , in Egypt, its history, the so important collection developed on the classical Islamic culture from the 7th to the 17th century, and the development of the software in FRBR to fulfill in a better way, the numerous links of the texts in this culture. This library offers to a lot of Muslims students, a real opportunity of living in depth the dialogue between Christians and Muslims. The experience of GlobeTheoLib, http://www.globethics.net/gtl , was also appreciated: a tool devoted to face the informational and digital gap between North and South, to help the contextual and theological search happen, to facilitate dialogue between religions. Many contacts were taken and collaborations already opened: A publication on libraries serving interfaith dialogue Thanks to a contact with Myriam de La Rochefordière, sales manager of De Gruyter, during the last 77WLIC in Puerto-Rico, I was proposed to take an appointment with Dr.Alice Keller, Editorial Director, Library and Information Science & History. She received positively my proposal of editing a book about the libraries serving interfaith dialogue, and gave me the contact of Michael Heaney, editor of IFLA Publications Series, who agreed with the project. We have now to gather the libraries ready to write a paper for one volume that will take place in the green IFLA series collection that gathers items showing how libraries change the world. If you are interested to write a paper on that topic, don't hesitate and send me a email!
