Daily Programme

Following the Plenary Session, everyone is invited to an informal discussion with Plenary speaker, Henning Mankell and IFLA ICT4D's Christel Mahnke (IFLA President's Information Society Working Group). The discussion will focus on Henning Mankell's experience in Africa, regarding the role of access to information and knowledge in the struggle for economic and political self-empowerment of people. Of course, the role of libraries in the empowerment of people, especially in Africa, will be a topic. The talk will be open to questions from the audience.

Location: Weather permitting, the talk will be held outside on the lawn in front of the University Library / Central Library. In case of rain, the discussion will take place in a conference room inside University Library (TBA).

About the IFLA President's Information Society Working Group / ICT4D Group

The IFLA President's Information Society Working Group is an informal working group of IFLA members, founded during the WSIS (World Summit on the Information Society) 2003-2005. Since WLIC Milan 2009, cooperation with the ICT4D community (NGOs working in the field of Information and Communication Technology for Development) became the new group's new focus.

ICT4D is closely related to the presidential theme ‘Libraries driving access to knowledge'. IFLA President Ellen Tise encouraged the group to explore relations to the Open Access community, CLM and other partners, and stressed the focus on the developmental agenda.

Sida Showcase and the Launch of IFLA's "Building Strong Library Associations" programme

ALP and FAIFE present highlights from the period of funding from the Swedish International Development and Co-operation Agency (Sida). Between 2004 and 2009 Sida funding enabled ALP and FAIFE to work on numerous innovative projects around the world. Many grassroots library training projects were funded by ALP, and FAIFE began a programme of training workshops based on IFLA policy documents such as the Internet Manifesto. Librarians involved with the most successful and interesting projects will present their experiences and the session will describe how the lessons learned from the period of Sida funding led to the creation of IFLA's new Building Strong Library Associations (BSLA) programme. Those involved in developing the BSLA programme, including educational designers and impact evaluation specialists will explain its content and importance, and attendees will have an opportunity to understand some of its content and how to apply for BSLA project funding in the future.

The session will be presented in different languages with simultaneous interpretation.
