Speakers: Rob Davies and Allison Wren
Rob will summarise some general trends and directions in international (mainly public) library development, such as diversification, and major influencers e.g. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, IFLA, European Union and their impacts, sequencing briefly into the specific trends towards supporting ‘literacies’, library makerspaces, the connection with Science Literacy and the work in this area which the Network for Information and Digital Access (NIDA) has done with Hardie Wren Development Initiatives (HWDI) support.
Allison will then introduce the plans of HWDI to further Science Literacy, partnering with libraries and other local organisations and specifically its current project on maternal health literacy in Kerala, India.
ILIG Informals are not lectures; they are informal, but informative, early evening meetings with a short talk on a theme of international interest plus plenty
of time for questions and networking. They are open to all and absolutely free. Light refreshments are served which is why we ask you to let ILIG know you are coming by booking online at:
