Electronic Information For Libraries - Approach

Approach

EIFL’s unique approach is to partner with libraries organised in national library consortia - groups of libraries that share common goals - thereby effectively reaching millions of people. Consortia typically include university, research and public libraries, and other institutions. They speak with one voice to stakeholders and policy makers, and share resources and activities in order to serve their communities. At EIFL:

  1. They build capacity by organizing training events, developing tools and resources, and providing up-to-date information on issues that affect access to knowledge.
  2. They advocate for access to knowledge nationally and internationally.
  3. They encourage knowledge sharing through peer-to-peer learning, best practice case studies, an annual partner conference and regional cooperation among consortia.
  4. They incubate pilot projects for innovative library services.

Famous quotes containing the word approach:

    “I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.”
    —Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986)

    “I am always glad to think that my education was, for the most part, informal, and had not the slightest reference to a future business career. It left me free and untrammeled to approach my business problems without the limiting influence of specific training.”
    —Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

    “Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems—but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)
