For Web Editors

We strive to get every 'unit' —Core Activity, Section, Special Interest Group— at least one Web Editor.

An IFLA Web Editor...

... is responsible for:

  • getting all necessary 'content' (information, files, etcetera) of his/her unit on the unit's part of the IFLA website;
  • keeping that content up–to–date;

... serves as:

  • the contact person for the unit for all matters concerning their part of the IFLA website;
  • the liaison between his/her own Standing Committee and IFLA Headquarters (especially the central webmasters);

... needs to be:

  • enthusiastic about the Web and its possibilities;
  • knowledgeable about using the Web — preferably to the level of a 'power user'; familiarity with CMSs and/or Drupal a definite plus;
  • skilled as a web content editor, or willing to become one. This includes the skill of writing and optimizing texts for reading from a web page;
    • browser compatibility: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3.0+, or a late version of any other modern browser, such as Safari, Google Chrome, and Opera. 
  • able and willing to convert existing documents and information of the unit into proper web content.
