The Carnegie Centre for African Library Leadership will be hosting

its third two-week Library Leadership Academy in Pretoria,

South Africa, from 5-19 November 2010

 

In 2008 the University of Pretoria Library Services was awarded a $1m grant by the Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY) to establish the Centre for African Library Leadership (CALL), within the Merensky Library. The CALL addresses the library leadership development needs within the South African Library and Information Services context by facilitating appropriate library leadership training and development programmes.

 

Following the success of the two Carnegie Library Leadership Academies held in July 2009 and March 2010, this Academy will be the third in a series of six to be held over a period of three years.

 

The Academy is designed to build leadership expertise in the national, academic and public/community library sectors.  The programme focus is on best practices in library management, organisational leadership, personal leadership & styles, advocacy and communication skills, reconciliation and cultural integration in the workplace, introduction to Web 2.0 technologies, knowledge management, marketing and branding, etc. 

 

Applications are invited from middle to senior level managers at national, academic and public/community library services in South Africa. 

 

All Academy expenses will be covered by the Carnegie grant.  Successful candidates will:

• Travel to Pretoria and Leriba Lodge in Centurion at their own cost
• Share double occupancy accommodation
• Comply with the requirements and adhere to the arrangements of the Academy from the initial selection to the completion of the Academy, including pre- and post Academy projects.
