Dear colleagues:

We are proud to present the last session of the 2016 webinar series “New
Librarians Global Connection: best practices, models and recommendations.”

https://npsig.wordpress.com/webinars-2/upcoming-webinars/

The series "New Librarians Global Connection: Best Practices, Models and
Recommendations" is organised jointly by IFLA New Professionals Special
Interest group and IFLA SC Continuing Professional Development and
Workplace Learning with the support of the American Library Association.
This series of free webinars addresses issues of interest to new
librarians, library associations and library schools, library-decision
makers, and all library workers.

Please join us for the upcoming webinar:

“*Utilizing Partnerships to Expand Professional Development Opportunities
Worldwide*”

While partnerships have been an instrumental part of the library’s success
in serving the needs of their communities, they now offer librarians
profound opportunities for developing new competencies and skillsets that
strengthen their careers. This webinar will highlight various examples of
international initiatives that not only expand professional development
opportunities for librarians, but also connect them to dynamic and
globally-based professional networks.

Success stories, challenges, and the impacts of these partnerships will be
discussed.

Join us to hear some truly inspiring stories!* Join our free IFLA/ALA
Webinar on 10 October at 18 UTC.*
