Library Associations

The IFLA Sections of Management and Marketing and of Management of Library Associations are programming a joint workshop to be held during the IFLA Conference Berlin 2003. We invite you to take an active part in that workshop by presenting your communications.

The subject of the workshop will be "How to market our library associations, especially among young professionals".
We would be glad to listen to many librarians from all over the world and to hear about their different experiences in membership recruitment, as well as about new ideas to put in practice in order to increase their fellowship.

Our aims are:
To share our experiences in recruiting and maintaining new members for our associations, especially among young people,
To review the problems in the membership of our associations, and to share the solutions put in place in the different countries,
To make new ideas raise in order to increase the participation of young people in library associations.

Communications are to be brief (15-20 minutes) and concrete, presenting the situation in your library association and / or describing the way you are managing it.

Communications should be proposed to us (address below) until March 31st 2003.

The proposals should include:
Nameof author/s and address (including e-mail if appropriate), Titleof the communication,
A brief abstract (150 words).

Later, a written text should be submitted to IFLA before May 31st 2003 to be put on the web.

Communications should be presented orally (powerpoint or slides would be appropriate), and would be followed by a dialogue and work by groups.
