Subject: [IACRL] IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship Program
deadline is Friday
Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 22:31:47 +0000
From: Edwards, Eric A <eedwa...@ilsos.net>
To: ia...@list.railslibraries.info <ia...@list.railslibraries.info>
All:
Do you know a promising young librarian from a developing country
who would be interested in a career-development opportunity here in
the U.S.? Encourage the person to apply for a spot in the Jay Jordan
IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship Program. Up to five
people are selected each year. The program lasts for four weeks and
is centered around OCLC’s headquarters, which is located in Dublin,
Ohio. Fellows will have the opportunity to learn about issues
affecting librarianship on a global level, particularly library
operations and management, information technology, and global
cooperative librarianship. Activities will include meeting with
leaders in the field and touring a number of library organizations
(including OCLC) and cultural-heritage institutions. Participants
will also give presentations on issues affecting libraries in their
home countries and will devise practical solutions to the major
challenges currently facing libraries around the world. The
underlying goal of the program is for participants to be able to
take what they have learned and apply it to their own career growth
and to the issues facing libraries and librarianship in their own
countries.
In addition to being from an eligible country, applicants must have
earned a degree in library and information science within the past
five years and have between three and eight years of professional
experience. For more information about the program, and to view a
video of this past year’s participants describing their experiences
as Fellows, go to http://www.oclc.org/about/awards.en.html.
Thank you.
