Essential Aims and Objectives

The Division will work

- To promote and encourage the interpersonal exchange of experience and best practice among senior librarians across political,linguistic and cultural boundaries to the enrichment of all.

- To encourage the comparison and sharing of expertise among colleagues from a variety of administrative and management backgrounds across Europe.

- To pay particular attention to the needs of libraries in Eastern Europe as they move to more open,democratic and participative styles of management. The Division is particularly concerned to ensure that library directors are aware of new developments in management and administrative practice and that senior staff below director level, such as departmental heads, are both appropriately skilled and kept aware of recent developments.
