The library environment is currently characterized by many challenges due to profound changes driven by a variety of factors, including, technological, economic, socio-political, and educational developments. At the heart of these changes we find our most valuable resource, the personnel working in libraries. Human resource management is therefore at the forefront of many complex issues and opportunities, which need to be understood, debated, and deliberated upon, in order to strengthen our organizations and find new and dynamic solutions to unique problems, currently challenging the library environment. Keeping the above in mind, the IFLA Management and Marketing Section is organizing a satellite meeting on “Managing Human Resources in the library and information context: How do we want to work tomorrow?” to take place before the IFLA World Library and Information Congress in 2016.
Research papers, case studies and articles are invited. We encourage innovative and practical perspectives on current and forward looking approaches to library human resource management initiatives, programs, issues, and policies. An indicative list (not exhaustive) of such areas is stated below:
