    Leadership in libraries and related fields plays a crucial role in creating an innovative and productive environment. It affects the operational effectiveness of libraries and their capacity to adjust, develop, and meet the changing needs of their communities. A major focus for IFLA is ensuring that emerging leaders have opportunities to gain experience and recognition. As a result, IFLA is keen to provide its members with a reference document that outlines the types of leadership programmes available, highlighting their commonalities, differences, and evidence of impacts where possible. The Learning to Lead: A Scan of Global Library Field Practice is the firstof-its-kind IFLA publication, aiming to provide a representative and comprehensive overview of leadership programmes run by library associations, libraries, museums, archives, and related organisations. It identifies their objectives, methods, and impact data, as well as key features and commonalities. It also aims to support library associations and libraries in their own decision-making about leadership programmes, and enable IFLA to make strategic decisions regarding its future leadership initiatives.
