The theme of the IFLAPARL Pre-conference 2022 is "The parliamentary life of information: how library & research services provide value for parliaments, Members and citizens".
This will be the 37th IFLAPARL pre-conference. It was originally scheduled to take place in August 2020 but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. IFLAPARL 2022 is one of several satellite events to the 87th IFLA World Library and Information Congress (WILC) which is being held in Dublin at the Convention Centre on 26-29 July 2022. The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) is the leading international body representing the interests of library and information services and their users. The conferences have never been held in Dublin before.
