Pubblicato da A.M. Tammaro in Biblioteca digitale, Call for action, IFLA, IFLA Global Vision, visione il 12 aprile 2018
Dopo il President’s Meeting, c’è stato a Barcellona lo scorso marzo il Kick-off Workshop con due giorni di attività e discussioni sul Progetto Global Vision di IFLA a partire dal Global Vision Report Summary. Il rapporto completo sarà distribuito al Congresso mondiale delle biblioteche e dell’informazione (WLIC) dell’IFLA a Kuala Lumpur, in Malesia, nell’agosto 2018. 
Il progetto Global Vision è iniziato nell’aprile 2017 con un incontro ad Atene. Alle Sezioni dell’IFLA è stato successivamente chiesto di discutere sui valori fondamentali delle biblioteche, in cosa sono eccezionalmente brave, cosa dovrebbero fare di più e cosa di meno e delle principali sfide attuali per le istituzioni e la professione.
“Leading the way: Libraries as Motors of Change” IFLA President Meeting in Barcelona
Pubblicato da A.M. Tammaro in Biblioteca digitale, IFLA Global Vision, visione il 12 aprile 2018
On 19 March 2018 in Barcelona I have participated to the IFLA President’s Meeting under the theme: “Leading the way: Libraries as Motors of Change”.
President Gloria Perez affirms: “Libraries do not need to be the victims of change. They do not have to sprint to keep up with change. They can drive change”.
IFLA is on the journey, ready to move, changing internally to deliver our mission, libraries are motors of change, pillars of digital development, supporting free speech and access to information.
The Secretary General Gerald Leitner has stressed that the main finding of the Global Vision Project is unity: Librarians around the world share common values and are united in their goals. There was input from more than 31,000 participants from 213 countries. The “Global Vision Report Summary” presents 10 highlights paired with 10 opportunities. Following the President’s Meeting there were 2 days of workshop activities for the follow up of the Project.
After the introduction, the meeting has been organized in 4 sessions with the participation of external experts who have brought a critical contribution to the discussion on the transformation of libraries. The sessions are:
Foresight Session: Looking to the Future
Session I: Building Support in a Time of Austerity
Session II: Building Bridges to Deliver New Services
Session III: New Models for the Networked Age
