The Building Strong Library Associations programme: expression of interest for core trainers

IFLA is seeking core trainers to deliver training and other activities as part of the Building Strong Library Associations (BSLA) programme. The comprehensive BSLA programme offers a strategic and coordinated approach to capacity building and sustainability of library associations for the benefit of associations, libraries, and their communities. It allows for the delivery of a new training package aimed at developing library associations, and the continuing deployment of IFLA's existing workshops such as those on the IFLA Internet Manifesto, access to HIV/AIDS information through libraries, or transparency, good governance and freedom from corruption.
