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 18th Annual IATUL Conference was held on June 30th – July 4th, 1997 at Norges Teknisk-Naturvitenskapelige Universitet or the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. The 18th Annual IATUL Conference’s theme was “Scholarly Communication in Focus”.
