OCLC and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) are now accepting applications for library professionals to participate in the 2019 Jay Jordan IFLA/OCLC Early Career Development Fellowship Program.
The Fellowship Program, sponsored by IFLA and OCLC, is a four-week program based at OCLC headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, USA, that provides education and professional development opportunities for early career librarians from countries with developing economies. The 2019 program will run from March 16 to April 12, 2019.
A description of the program, along with dates for applications, selection and participation were announced during the World Library and Information Congress: 84th IFLA General Conference and Assembly in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Details about the program, guidelines and applications are now available on the website. Deadline for applications is September 28, 2018.
The IFLA/OCLC Fellowship Program offers advanced continuing education and exposure to a broad range of issues in information technologies, library operations and global cooperative librarianship. The program has welcomed 90 librarians and information science professionals from 39 countries.
The Fellows gain professional knowledge, visit leading institutions as models of collaboration and make contacts in the international library community that will help them progress for many years to come. Fellows also have opportunities to share their home customs and cultures with other Fellows, with colleagues they meet during the program, and with their hosts.
