Summary of the 2019 World Library and Information Congress Knowledge Café Program - Change literacy: digital, collaborative, creative

Abstract

The 7th Knowledge Café was held at the 2019 WLIC in Athens, Greece. Approximately 150 information professionals attended this meeting to share and learn from their colleagues on a number of interesting table topics. Participants represented a diverse number of countries including Russia, Sweden, Norway, Ghana, Canada, Singapore, Germany, United States, Kenya, Japan, Uganda, Australia, Brazil, Greece and many others. Public, school, university, parliamentary and special libraries were among the organizations of the participants. The goal of this program was to provide an opportunity for IFLA colleagues to discover, share and takeaway new ideas. Change is the currency of our libraries, communities, parliaments, organizations, and world. Whether it involves digital transformation, collaborating with traditional or non-traditional agencies, or creating new and exciting engagement opportunities, change is at the heart of our activities. Learning, growing, developing and succeeding in the face of change are our challenges.
