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 21st Annual IATUL Conference was held on July 3rd – July 7th, 2000 at Queensland University of Technology Library in Brisbane, Australia. The 21st Annual IATUL Conference’s theme was “Virtual Libraries: Virtual Communities”.
