IASL-IFLA Joint Committee
https://www.ifla.org/about-school-libraries

It was agreed at the IFLA school librarians meeting in Manila (1980) that "the Standing Committee of the Section on School Libraries and the International Association of School Librarianship Executive Board should each appoint a member to attend the others conference and executive meetings as an official representative of their parent organizations. This should finalize an existing information relationship without incurring additional expense and should ensure that each association is fully cognizant of the others concerns and plans to avoid duplication of efforts. The minutes of each Executive Committee and reports from sub-committees should be exchanged to ensure a continuous flow of information and facilitate identification of areas where cooperative ventures may be appropriate and when separate projects can be pursued by mutual agreement."

In 1980, Linda Beeler was appointed by IASL and the IFLA school committee then appointed her as their liaison. Since then there has been just one person who served a dual capacity, i.e., a member of both groups. IASL has regularly nominated that person to IFLA which has meant that the person could serve two full terms.
