Last week IFLA annound the winner of the 2020 IFLA Dynamic Unit and Impact Award, and made special mention of two sections including IFLA ARL:

“A special mention is given to the ARL Section for its outreach and advocacy. Five popular ARL Section webinars were held from December 2019 to September 2020. The webinar on ‘Academic Library Services during COVID-19’ in July attracted over 200 participants from around the world with ten presenters, and the webinar “Decolonization in education: role of the academic library” and “ARL Hot Topics” were both presented as webinars including the planned speakers from WLIC 2020. Their active programme of events and sessions strengthen their area of the profession and support access to knowledge and information across the globe.”

The IFLA professional Committee launched the Dynamic Unit and Impact Award (DUIA) in 2018 to recognise Professional Units which excel in putting Dynamic Unit expectations into practice. Read more here.
