For over 30 years, Brodart has been a supplier to libraries for supplies, equipment
books, recordings and furniture. The catalog items are grouped by function into 14
main sections, and the Table of Contents is annotated to provide an overview of
products and services. Each section has its own table of contents listing individual
Products from which to choose. More than 4,000 supply and equipment items and
some 550 furniture products are listed. Librarians who would like to know still
more about a particular product or service, may take advantage of Business Reply
Cards in the catalog to request a packet of detailed information.

Het is wellicht voor vele vakgenoten die niet onmiddellijk aktief betrokken zijn bij
de werking van IFLA moeilijk een duidelijk beeld te krijgen van de structuur van
deze organisatie, die bovendien sinds de 42e Algemene Vergadering te Lausanne in
1976 werd vernieuwd.
