Asia-Pacific Library and Information Conference 2018, 30 July - 2 August 2018 Gold Coast: Roar Leap Dare
This conference poster presentation accompanied the talk "Vision 2021: a renewed vision for Queensland public libraries". The statewide vision for public libraries serves a number of functions, from advocacy, to strategic planning, to supporting business cases and funding applications. It sits alongside the standards and provides a complimentary high level view of the direction public libraries should be heading in over the life of the document. It must be both aspirational and attainable, and there must be room for local interpretation of the vision.
The poster explores the lifecycle of a multi-year Vision from development to implementation through to the review and re-development stage, and presents:
- Background and context of the project
- Methodology of data collection and analysis
- Key themes of the future public library
- Strategies to communicate, implement, interpret and enact the statewide vision
- Barriers to realising the vision
- Maintaining relevancy in a changing environment
