IFLA is all about providing spaces for exchange and learning.<\/p>\n
But its not possible to be in every meeting, and even catching up afterwards online can be a lot.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, many of the reflections and ideas shared in conferences also find their ways into articles and books that explore key issues facing our field in depth.<\/p>\n
We are lucky, in the library field, to have such a wider range of people studying the field, as practitioners, teachers and academics.<\/p>\n
They dive into key questions, evaluate programmes and initiatives, and compare experiences and practices.<\/p>\n
Their work represents a great resource for everyone else, answering questions, sharing ideas, and providing evidence you can use in advocacy.<\/p>\n
So for our 41st<\/sup> 10-Minute International Librarian Exercise, check out the research!<\/p>\n One great source is IFLA\u2019s own library of papers, presentations and posters from past World Library and Information Congresses.<\/p>\n You can also look around the IFLA Journal<\/a>, or other journals and publications in the field, which can both help answer questions which you may have, or provide you with arguments that you can use in your advocacy.<\/p>\n Let us know which is your preferred source of research information about the library field in the comments box below!<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This idea relates to the\u00a0IFLA Strategy<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a02.1 Develop standards, guidelines, and other materials that foster best professional practice.<\/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>! Do also share your ideas in the comments box below.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IFLA is all about providing spaces for exchange and learning.
