Title: Professional Associations as a Foundation for an International Profession
Date: Wednesday 12th November 6.00-7.45
Location: CILIP HQ
Sue Henczel is PhD candidate at RMIT University in Melbourne Australia, where she is researching the impact of national library associations on individuals, their employers and the profession of librarianship. This presentation explores the roles that professional associations play in ensuring that members have the mobility to connect and work internationally where true mobility relies on the alignment of education, qualifications, professional standards and perceptions of the profession.
This presentation intends to initiate discussion about the roles and responsibilities of national library associations as the profession evolves within a changing global and professional environment - as roles and connections become increasingly global. This will be of interest to members (and non-members) who see themselves as part of a global profession as well as to those shaping the directions and activities of the library associations.
Light refreshments will be served. Cost Free – all welcome, but, for catering purposes, please be sure to book online at http://tinyurl.com/mdkxex5
