Registration has opened for this satellite conference being held in the
beautiful and historic city of Bologna. The conference venue is Santa
Cristina, an ex-convent which has been converted into teaching and
conference space by the University of Bologna - itself the world’s
oldest university.
<br><br>The broad focus of this satellite meeting is the creation of a
positive work environment for a multi-generational workforce. Programme
highlights include:
<br><br>
<ul>
<li>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)
<br><br>
</li><li>Proceedings (which will be available at the conference as part of registration) containing over 30 peer-reviewed papers
<br><br>
</li><li>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
<br><br>
</li><li>In addition there are presentations, discussion, posters and workshops covering a variety of topics including :
<br><br>
<ul>
<li>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
<br><br>
</li><li>inter-generational working, workforce planning and succession planning
<br><br>
</li><li>aspects of mentoring including transitional mentoring for new professionals to peer coaching
<br><br>
</li><li>aspects of leadership, reluctant leaders, developing leadership skills
<br><br>
</li><li>practical workshops on developing skills for progression
</li></ul></li></ul>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.
<br><br>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.
