Dear Dr S. Salem
I wish to congratulate you for being honored by IFLA for your valuable contribution to the profession.
I would very much like to see you visit Mauritius, a tiny indian ocean island in a near future and conduct a training session or make a presentation to members of the profession on the emerging trends in the LIS . You are most welcome to my country. Here there are no less than  75 LIS graduates and many more para-professionals/technicians. Looking forward to hearing from you.

My dear Professor Dr. Shawky Salem,
I was so happy when I have attended the ceremony of the closing session of IFLA conference on 27 August in Milan, and see that IFLA awarded you its HONOR MEDAL for the year 2009 for your distinguished service to IFLA and to the international library community through your leadership in representation, contribution to the professional literature, and support for development of the profession.
I know that many colleagues in IFLA who attended will agree with me that the selection of you by IFLA was proper and appropriate  as it represents your efforts with IFLA for more than 20 years.
As one of your faithful students who worked close to you in many projects, I believe that awarding you this unique prize is not only an honor for you but for the whole professional librarians in the Arab World and all over the world.
I wish you more progress and recognition in future.
