Apply now and become a transformed library leader: learn, explore, share and be inspired!
The Carnegie Centre for African Library Leadership will be hosting its
fourth 2-week Library Leadership Academy in Pretoria, South Africa,
from 11-25 March 2011
In 2008 the University of Pretoria Library Services (UPLS) 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 previous Carnegie Library Leadership Academies held in July 2009 and March and November 2010 respectively, this Academy will be the fourth 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 senior and middle level managers at national, academic and public/community library services in South Africa.
All Academy expenses will be covered by the Carnegie grant.
For access to the application form, application instructions, eligibility, criteria for selection and stipulations of the Academy, please visit the UPLS Website: http://www.library.up.ac.za/carnegie/academy.htm
