Guidelines need translating into other IFLA languages

# data[].attributes.body
IFLA have great resources

CILIP are trying to focus creation of content for our Virtual Learning Environment.

ALIA and CILIP highlight key resources available to members via online subscription

ALIA - 65 types of Prfessional Development

Austrian Library Association - creating a range of resources to support educationa and con tinuing professional development

# data[].attributes.body
ALIA - competency framework plus specialisms
CILIP - Professional Knowledge and Skills Base www.cilip.org.uk/pksb

# data[].attributes.body
We felt that there should be a stronger role for Library Associations in advocating for and promoting the importance of Professional Development to our members, employers and key stakeholders.

# data[].attributes.body
We don't think we should be doing this - it is too complex and resource intensive. Training changes so oftn - would be difficult to mon itor/assess content

This should be reviewed because not all associations may have the legal backing to implement the guidelines

Conduct research to determine the needs of employers so as to get them the right employee for the work

# data[].attributes.body
It is not possible to implement the guideline on developing guidelines,  it is top down and non interactive,  education systems differ in countries and within the same country at times

In order to get prof dev funding, need to write a report afterwards and/or do blog posts. The blog posts are daily while the learning is actually going on.

# data[].attributes.body
Big challenge to have those who receive professional development share that knowledge effectively with others in the organization.

Sharing info with staff: Lightning rounds from staff upon return from event.
Scholars share research they are working on independently at staff events.

# data[].attributes.body
For those who have completed their degrees, ask them to present about how they did it, what are the challenges. Helps to motivate others.   When come back from a conference, whoever attended a session has to do a presentation and share with their colleagues.     �fUaF�1

Making Libraries a Learning Organization

# data[].attributes.body
Could use guidelines around everyday learning. How you learn from your colleagues every day.  E.g. everyone in a workplace could read an article then discuss it, where was it published, is it relevant to work in that library.   Could have objectives written around in a staff meeting or other setting.

# data[].attributes.body
More demanding/higher expectations, more channels and modes for professional development.

# data[].attributes.body
perhaps around evaluation. all providers should clearly articulate the learning outcomes for the professional development. Would act as a contract between the learner and provider

How do we assess or certify professional development programs and providers (beyond degree programs)?
Establish and require takeaways for providers: hold them to what they say they will offer.
Challenge of operating by work of mouth networks: you could be missing good programs, need to have open calls.

# data[].attributes.body
Quality assurance for new university programs requires that professional associations be involved in the evaluation process.

# data[].attributes.body
ALIA have a well developed programme

Ghana have a Chartership programme

CILIP have a professional registration programme and members can revalidate their CPD annually - we also have developed a Professional Knowledge and Skills Base

# data[].attributes.body
Libraries turn to the Library and information science programs to be responsible for professional development and ongoing learning. We are working with the biggest union to work on translating this: the word doesn't appear here, but they are important to the process.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't really see anything radically new. Feels very comfortable for most.

Can be difficult for employers to release staff - how can associations support this?

Smaller associations can find it more difficult to undertake this work or may not have the permission to (government agreements/other bodies taking that role)

# data[].attributes.body
ALIA search out best free training from the world and email it out to members

# data[].attributes.body
Without a clear purpose people are not motivated to take part in workshops.

# data[].attributes.body
An important best practice to promote.

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of revenue comes from marketing professional development, makes it difficult to promote others PD.

# data[].attributes.body
We hosted IFLA conference on social science libraries: in preparation put on a writing workshop to prepare professionals to author papers for the conference, provided support for them during the writing process. Geographically limited, but still worthwhile.

# data[].attributes.body
We offer lots of programs, but there are types of programs that never get promoted or put on, which limits what people are exposed to, need something more like the sections approach.

# data[].attributes.body
One national association with sections, which prepare programs in professional development, main council can and does prepare programs as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Should be explicit that they can be translated and adopted by associations.
What is an association to do if noone is charged with responsibility to drive implementation of standards?

Are there principles we agree or disagree with?

Are there principles we agree or disagree with?

They seem quite reasonable: need to translate them
