2. MLA (UK) in the international arena
Message forwarded from the MLA Newslist (Museums, Libraries and Archives
Council, UK) _____Forward header_____
From: Sharene Chatfield <sharene.chatfield at MLA.GOV.UK>
Date: 07/05/06 12:15pm
Subject: Press Release: The MLA in the international arena
For immediate release
Wednesday 5th July 2006
MLA in the international arena
The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council has launched new
international pages on its website.
Practical information on topics such as funding possibilities and
international networks, inspiring case studies, and material to help
develop the case for working internationally sit alongside information on
MLA's recent activities in the international arena.
"Working internationally expands horizons, develops skills and opens up
new and exciting possibilities for the sector and the people who use its
institutions. MLA published its first international strategy in 2002, and
we have achieved a great deal towards the report's aims since then," Sue
Hughes, MLA's International Policy Adviser said.
MLA has put together a series of factsheets to provide useful
information about international work. Information is available to help
site users learn about sources of funding, what opportunities
professional organisations can provide, and major current and future
international issues.
"This area of the website can be used in conjunction with the advocacy
section when preparing bids, and the case studies help to give site users
an idea of projects that have worked in the past," Sue said. Details of
the recently-published "Cultural Spend and Infrastructure" report are also
available at the site. The report provides a useful comparative study of
the Museum, Library and Archive landscape in the USA, Canada, Australia,
France, Germany and Ireland.
"As well as statistical comparisons with the sector in the UK, the report
provides detailed information about sector infrastructure in each of the
countries surveyed. There is also a detailed case study on the
redevelopment of the public library system in Singapore," Sue said.
"This report contains some fascinating information, and can be viewed and
downloaded from our new-look web pages."
MLA has also renewed its funding commitment to the British Council to
support an Advisor post for another year.
"2005 -2006 has been a very successful year of partnership with the
British Council, resulting in a number of initiatives developed both to
help MALs take advantage of international opportunities, and to ensure
that UK sector organisation's achievements are given due prominence on the
international stage," Sue said.
"Our collaboration for 2006-07 will build on support for the sector, and
will focus additionally on regional engagement and specifically ensuring
that our smaller institutions are able to take advantage of
opportunities for work with China".
