global inspiration, local action #ili2014
DESCRIPTION
Internet Librarian International, 2014 - London Session A104 - Global inspiration, local action The modern library supports learning on all levels. All types of library, in many different countries, face the same challenges, driven in many cases by technological developments or financial contraints. Despite having the same core issues, libraries come up with different answers, shaped by their differing cultures. By being globally inspired – and translating that inspiration into local action – libraries can transform their communities.TRANSCRIPT

“In the ‘connected learning’ approach, learning is accelerated when it is powered by an individual’s interests and passions, supported by peers, and in spaces where an individual feels valued and safe.”
