Pacific parliamentary librarians gather in Fiji

James Di Giambattista and George Dixon, the Library of Congress' agents for the Pacific Islands Region, undertook an acquisitions visit to Fiji in August. When they arrived, they were pleased to find that the Fiji Parliamentary Library was sponsoring a regional seminar for Pacific parliamentary librarians sponsored by UNDP.

Jim felt honored to speak before this group of old and new friends about the direction of information services in parliamentary libraries. 'That the Fiji Parliamentary Library welcomed both our visit and the conference in the same week was a real tribute to Fijian hospitality and the dedication of the parliamentary staff' Jim commented from Honolulu.
