Knowledge Organization: Classification and Cataloguing Theory

Notes 25.3F2: If a conference has both a specific name of its own as well as a more general name as one

Religious bodies,
Fraternal and knightly orders,
Church councils, and

Diplomatic conferences.

Example: Library Conferences at Canada
Access is a library technology conference that moves location on an annual basis. Hackfest,

The annual conference of the Canadian Library Association shifts locations every year.
Each gathering is designed to address trends in libraries and examine how larger shifts in

key industry associations and provides targeted and exclusive programming.
The Manitoba Libraries Conference acts as an opportunity for those in the library
community to network and review trends in the library industry.
