Making the most of international meetings: a playbook for IFLA representatives

Abstract

International meetings, such as those organised by the United Nations, offer a great opportunity to speak up for libraries, and make contacts in a way that isn’t possible at other times. To make the most of these chances, itis vital to plan ahead, use the time well, and follow up. This briefing offers tips on what to do before, during and after meetings, on talking to other delegates, an on how to convince (almost) any delegate that libraries matter to their work!
