Leadership and Advocacy

for Library Association Leaders

Strong library associations support and enrich society and the library and information profession. They unite a country’s library community around a common platform for advocacy and development of the profession.

(Building Strong Library Associations Impact Report 2012)

IFLA BSLA states that a library association plays an important role and become a key institution in the field of library and information worldwide. Library association can play a role in advocating for equal access to information, and help build strong communities and sustainable library by improving library services to users and support the development of the profession.

The IFLA Building Strong Library Associations (IFLA BSLA) Programme was launched in 2010. The programme offers strategic and coordinated programme for capacity building and sustainability of library associations. BSLA builds capacity by facilitating experience sharing within regions, strengthening library leaders in-country, and developing locally relevant solutions. Through cascade workshops and outreach, the programme has had an impact across countries and regions. Programme activities include training and mentoring which helps associations to form partnerships, strengthen governance and member services, and to become better advocates for their library community. Training and activities are customised to the objectives of library associations, and for different cultural, political, technological and social conditions (http://www.ifla.org/BSLA/impact)

APISI recognizes that a continual professional development of the organization is necessary. We have been fortunate to participate at BSLA Programme which was held in 2014 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The BSLA programme has revitalized vision and mission of the organization. We had opportunity to discuss other important elements in running an association including building, sustaining and developing library associations in partnership, fundraising, advocacy and many more.

We found the programme very usefull and we gain many new perspectives not only from the trainers but also from other countries. Therefore, we seek the opportunity to run similar programme both for APISI and other library association leaders in Indonesia. We are very grateful that IFLA BSLA supports our APISI – IFLA BSLA Workshop programme.

We would like to see many pro-active and dedicated APISI members to take part in this workshop. Management Board of APISI realized that the existence of APISI in each province will accelerate the deployment the vision and mission of APISI in developing school librarianship in Indonesia.
