IFLA Science and Tech Libraries Strategic Plan 2006-2007

Goals

1. Promote international discussion of current issues and services in libraries in the sciences and technology.

2. Promote activities and explore best practices that advance the professional competence of science and technology librarians.

3. Engage in projects, and information sharing in cooperation with colleagues in other library associations and scholarly organizations, to sharpen skills and understandings about how science & technology librarians in other settings work and how IFLA can potentially partner with them.

4. Develop and advance the effectiveness of the Section as an international focus for science and technology librarianship and enhance the status of science and technology librarians, especially in less-developed countries and regions.
