Ensuring access to information and technology, providing support and skills development, managing diverse and every-growing resources, and preserving our heritage against decay and loss \u2013 there\u2019s a lot to do.<\/p>\n
Our mission at IFLA is to help you do this by inspiring, engaging, enabling and connecting the global library field, and so to deliver on the IFLA Strategy 2019-24<\/a>.<\/p>\n To do this, we rely heavily on the work of our Professional Units \u2013 the biggest brains trust in the library field \u2013 a group of committed volunteers giving their time and energy for the sake of libraries globally.<\/p>\n But we know that it\u2019s not always easy to set aside so much time, or to find the resources to attend WLIC every year.<\/p>\n Maybe you can only spare a few minutes a week, beside professional, family and other commitments.<\/p>\n Fortunately, there are so many other ways to engage, and to contribute to the global library field!<\/p>\n In our new series \u2013 the 10-Minute International Librarian \u2013 we\u2019ll be identifying great ideas for how you can do this.<\/p>\n Each week, we\u2019ll publish a new post, and explain how this relates to the IFLA Strategy.<\/p>\n See you next week!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the #10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a> tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA’s Ideas Store<\/a>!
