Description

IFLA Division C is going to host a Webinar Series for LIS students that was initiated by the IFLA Division IV – Support of the Profession in spring 2021. These webinars aim to create a place for students to share their projects, research, and ideas about different topics related to libraries. October’s theme is “International Engagement and Collaboration – Getting Started”. LIS students will share their experience on how to be involved in international cooperation, whether through a joint project with a partner library, through conference visits, stays abroad, study trips, internships, etc.

There will be two webinars dedicated to this theme. The first webinar’s keynote speaker Hella Klauser will present a talk “Working Internationally: Who? Why? How? – ME?”.  The second webinar will take place on 29 October 2021.
