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] OverviewThe 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 .[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] Presidents
