Abstract:

This session is an opportunity for you to discuss what you want the New Professionals Discussion Group (NPDG) to achieve within IFLA. I have been asked to talk about two things which might assist your discussion. One is my experience of a similar group which exists in the UK. The other is the idea of “Librarians without Borders”. I became a qualified professional librarian twenty five years ago. And the one thing more than anything else which helped me to develop as a professional in the early years of my career was involvement with a group like the NPDG which exists and had existed for many years as part of the national association in the UK. The group in the UK has two aims to support the development of new professionals and to bring new energy and new ideas to the national association and both these aims apply to the NPDG within IFLA.
