Jan Fullerton giving lecture in NLC

Today, Jan Fullerton, Director-General of the National Library of Australia visited the National Library of China, and gave a lecture on the recent developments of the National Library of Australia. There are more than 100 people in the audience.

NLA is active and creative among national libraries in the world, and plays an important role in library-related standards and international cooperation activities.

Australian National Librarian to Visit NLC

Jan Fullerton, Director-General of the National Library of Australia, is going to visit the National Library of China on April 8, 2008. She will give a lecture on the management of NLA as the fourth lecture in the series "Forum of World Library Directors" of NLC.

When I worked in NLA in 1995, Jan was the Assistant Director-General of NLA. She visited NLC as an exchange librarian a couple of years ago, and talked with me several times. I met her also in Oslo in 2005 and in Durban in 2007.
