School Libraries and Resource Centers Section
Secretary Report 2007
2007
1. Regular Administration
During the year I have dealt with the standard ongoing correspondence from IFLA Headquarters and the Division III Coordinating Board, as well as from a range of individuals.
2. Mid Year Division III Meeting Zagreb
The Section Chair and I participated in a two day meeting. This was a good opportunity to share ideas and concerns and may lead to better synergies among Sections at future conferences.
3. Mid Year Section Meeting Zagreb
The Division III meeting was again a splendid opportunity to plan a mid-year section meeting. Unfortunately besides the chair and myself, only one SC member (Ms. Karen Usher from the UK) was able to be present. We spend several hours discussing the Durban conference (satellite meeting and Division session), the Quebec conference including a satellite in Toronto together with OSLA, the strategic plan and other ongoing business. The mid year meeting was followed by a one-day workshop, prepared by James Henri and myself in cooperation with Ms. Mihaela Zorica Banek. The workshop, organized for school / teacher librarians as well as library students from all over Croatia was held at the University of Zagreb. Approx. 80 participants were present.
4. Preparation Durban 2007 Conference
Much correspondence and communication was necessary with regard to the WLIC conference 2007. Not only with IFLA HQ on facilities but also with the local officers on the organizers of the Satellite in Durban, as well as the members of the standing committee.
5. Cooperation with IASL
After the establishment of the Agreement (July 2006) correspondence was send on the composition of a steering committee with the executive secretary of IASL, the standing committee of the section and IFLA HQ.
6. Section matters
Correspondence with IFLA HQ with regard to forms and procedures. Correspondence with regard to the election of new SC members and (new) corresponding members.
