Advocate for a visible library!

Presentation

Dominique Lahary wrote in 2005 in the (s) Library Journal: "isn't the newspaper libraries, as there is no trains that arrive on time. This sentence summed up the lack of visibility of the action of the library on a daily basis. Have things changed?

On the one hand, in recent years, professionals, first in the University Library, took the issue from the perspective of the evaluation then the impact of the library. And today, the Library Association of France, commissioned by the media and cultural industries branch, is preparing to launch an investigation into the economic and social value of libraries.

On the other hand, especially with the decline in resources and competition from the internet, the library is strongly questioned in its usefulness.

If the profession is convinced of the ongoing need of the library in the public space, it becomes necessary today to bring its arguments in the public square.

Enssib and ABF offer a study day to learn how to support and develop the library. This day is designed in two times: give tools and methods to be able to plead then learn how to mount a campaign of advocacy.

It seemed useful to achieve this to draw on examples of American and European colleagues.
