The International Association of Scientific and Technological University Libraries (IATUL) is a voluntary international organization which provides a forum for the exchange of ideas relevant to librarianship in technological universities throughout the world. It also provides library directors and senior managers an opportunity to develop a collaborative approach to solving common problems.

The 17th Annual IATUL Conference was held on June 24th – June 26th, 1996 at the University of California Irvine in Yorba Linda, California, United States. The 17th Annual IATUL Conference’s theme was “Networks, Networking and Implications for Digital Libraries”.
