The Section has a full programme for Bangkok. The section continues to publish a Newsletter for Section members, for members of the Standing Committee and for others interested in classification and indexing. Two issues have been published during the past year, an increase on former years. This acts as a channel for imparting information about what is happening at national level and for sharing in the experiences of others. It is also an excellent forum for the discussion of matters of international concern relating to classification and indexing.
Contributions are always very welcome.
Standing committee membership and officers Membership of the Section at present stands at 99. The newly elected standing committee has 19 members, representing 14 different countries. Elections for the chair, at present Ia McIlwaine, and Secretary, at present Edward Swanson, will take place during the Bangkok meeting. Both have served two years to date, so may serve a further term, if proposed.
