IFLA New Professionals Special Interest Group

Berlin Germany

NGO / Public Service

The “New Professionals” are representing a new generation of LIS students and recently qualified professionals. Within the work of the NPSIG there will be a focus on topics related to the development of the profession such as new skills required, changing job profiles and workplace environments as well as the generational shift (“digital natives vs. digital immigrants”). As extensive networking and early career contacts in the global LIS community are becoming increasingly important nowadays, the NPSIG especially wants to encourage new professionals from around the world to participate actively in IFLA conferences and working groups.
