The Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche (LIBER) (Association of European Research Libraries; est. 1971) is a professional association of national and university research libraries in Europe. As of 2018 its membership includes some 400 organizations. It operates as a Dutch foundation, with headquarters in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague.[1]

Overview

The origin of LIBER sprang from a 1968 meeting of the International Federation of Library Associations.[2] Among its founders was Swiss librarian Jean-Pierre Clavel [fr].[1]

LIBER held its first conference in Strasbourg in 1971, and continues meeting annually. Its 2018 conference will take place in Lille.[3] The group also publishes an open access journal about librarianship, LIBER Quarterly.[4]
