IASL'S International Toolkit

Links to Useful Resources on the Internet

This page provides links to resources that will help members of the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) in planning functions, publications, resources.

The links are to sources of information about other countries (such as population, flags) or to resources such as currency converters that will assist people who need to work across national boundaries. In addition, there are links to information about meeting procedure and "rules of order", including information about the Sturgis Code of Parliamentary Procedure that was adopted by IASL at the Annual General Meeting in Malmo in August 2000.
