The broad focus of this satellite meeting is the creation of a
positive work environment for a multi-generational workforce.
Programme highlights include:

- Keynote speeches from Alex Byrne (University Librarian at Sydney
University of Technology and past-President of IFLA) and Tracie Hall
(Assistant Dean, Dominican University Graduate School of Library and
Information Science, USA)

- Proceedings (which will be available at the conference as part of
registration) containing over 30 peer-reviewed papers

- As a joint conference between two established IFLA groups there
will be plenty of opportunity to network with young professionals
and more established librarians from around the world, and a chance
to learn from each other

- In addition there are presentations, discussion, posters and
workshops covering a variety of topics including :

* international perspectives on aspects of developing the LIS
workforce for changing roles from Nigeria, Italy, Ireland, India,
South America, Portugal, Netherlands, Australia, USA, South Africa

* inter-generational working, workforce planning and succession
planning

* aspects of mentoring including transitional mentoring for new
professionals to peer coaching

* aspects of leadership, reluctant leaders, developing leadership
skills

* practical workshops on developing skills for progression

In addition there will be a visit to Salaborsa Library followed by
the conference dinner. Salaborsa is a monumental palace located
inside Palazzo d'Accursio, the ancient seat of the Bologna
municipality. Ancient ruins dating back to the VII century B.C. can
be seen under its glass pavement.

Bologna is in Emilia Romagna, the food capital of Italy. Come and
enjoy the local food within the peaceful setting of the cloisters of
Santa Cristina.
