Seth Spaulding was Director of the IBE from 1983 to 1986. During this period, the IBE moved from the Palais Wilson to the new building where it is now located. Dr. Spaulding supervised the final design of the new building and organized the dedication ceremony that was attended by the Director General of UNESCO, the IBE Council and members of the diplomatic community. During his tenure, the IBE newsletter, Educational Innovation and Information, was designed and training programmes for educational documentalists initiated. Dr. Spaulding, some years earlier, was an education department director at UNESCO in Paris and at that time the journal Prospects was begun within his department. That journal is now edited and managed at the IBE.
