The Association of European Research Libraries (Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche or LIBER) is a professional association of national and university research libraries in Europe. As of 2018 its membership includes some 400 organizations. It operates as a Dutch foundation, with headquarters in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague.

Overview

The origin of LIBER sprang from a 1968 meeting of the International Federation of Library Associations. Among its founders was Swiss librarian Jean-Pierre Clavel [fr].

LIBER held its first conference in Strasbourg in 1971, and continues meeting annually. Its 2018 conference will take place in Lille. The group also publishes an open access journal about librarianship, LIBER Quarterly.
