Lesson from a Restroom-“On a mission of making art of continuous learning Viral”. This video is all about Flushing out the Negativity within us and developing positivist by engaging in things that inspire us.
Continuing education has never been as important as it is today.
The on-going revolution in information technology demands changes not only in what we learn, but also in how we learn in the classroom and beyond. To succeed in this new environment means knowing how to access information, but also how to analyse and use it efficiently and effectively.
Keeping up with the explosion in information and technology challenges those in the work force to continually renew their skills and expand their knowledge. But education and lifelong learning are equally as important for the growing number of older Americans who may or may not be actively employed.
For people of all ages, lifelong learning is the key to longer, healthier, more satisfying and productive lives.
For librarians, continuous learning is critical to renewing the expertise and skills needed to teach and assist members of the public in the new information age.
The American Library Association aims to promote the highest quality library service by providing leadership and support for both the professional education of librarians and the development of library programs and services that support continuous learning for the public.
ALA’s Office for Library Personnel Resources (OLPR) is dedicated to education and learning programs and the development of management and human resource policies that best serve the needs of libraries and their employees. OLPR also offers financial and employment information and assistance to librarians. A special focus is recruitment to the profession.
OLPR maintains a number of committees and round tables including the Continuing Library Education Network and Exchange Round Table (CLENERT). This group provides leadership and a forum for ideas and concerns among library and information personnel responsible for continuing education, training and staff development.
The Committee on Education makes policies and recommendations in the area of continuing library education and acts as a clearinghouse of information on all aspects of education for library and information studies, for the profession and for the public-at-large.
ALA offers a number of scholarships to graduate students pursuing degrees in library and information studies. These include the Spectrum scholarships, designed to recruit African Americans/African Canadians, Asian/Pacific islanders, Latinos/Hispanics and Native People of the U.S. or Canada to the profession.
In 1999, the American Library Association convened the first Congress on Professional Education to address the values and core competencies of the library and information profession and to develop strategies for action. Accreditation, continuing education, recruitment and diversity were among the issues discussed.
