GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF LOCAL LIBRARIANSHIP Session I-Friday, December 5,
1997
This initial session will focus on the roles and responsibilities of
local library staffs in serving a diverse community of users. It will
suggest knowledge, abilities, and skills that are effective for
developing leadership in a global cultural environment. Communicating
the role of the library as an entry point to a global society will be a
major point of emphasis.
DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP FOR CHANGE Session II-Friday, February 6, 1998
Session II will focus more on the impact of the globalization of
information products and services, specifically how they are marketed
and sold to libraries. Presenters will discuss theories of freedom of
access to information posed by international copyright and trade
agreements. Emphasis will be on developing and maintaining a coherent
vision of local library and information services in an increasingly
global environment.
