Libraries should never need to be isolated or alone.<\/p>\n
Indeed, building partnerships, not just inside but also outside our field can be a great way of increasing impact while saving effort.<\/p>\n
While it can seem like an effort at first, just taking a little time to identify and build partnerships can bring major benefits in future.<\/p>\n
Indeed, this was the subject of one of the ten key opportunities identified in IFLA\u2019s Global Vision<\/a>!<\/p>\n So for our 5th<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian, as a first step, think of some potential partners.<\/p>\n Who shares the goals of libraries? Who sympathises with our institutions? Whose support could help you go further?<\/p>\n It could be a business sector, a non-governmental organisation, or even a part of government.<\/p>\n Write your ideas down \u2013 you can even categorise them by sector, or by how easy you think it could be to reach out.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a0Strategic Direction 3, Key Initiative 3: Empower the Field at the National and Regional Levels.<\/em><\/p>\n As we publish more ideas, you will be able to view these using the\u00a0#10MinuteInternationalLibrarian<\/a>\u00a0tag on this blog, and of course on IFLA\u2019s\u00a0Ideas Store<\/a> (especially Opportunity 7<\/a>)!
