    (Nazarbayev University, 2017) Alenzuela, Reysa C.
    This presentation provides an overview of the global projects and programs of the International Federation of Library Association (IFLA) where libraries in Uzbekistan can participate. Specifically, the discussion will emphasize the four strategic directions: Libraries in Society, Information and Knowledge, Cultural Heritage, and Capacity Building. The session also hopes to increase awareness of librarians on their important role in advocating for the UN 2030 agenda, promoting access to information. Ultimately, it hopes to come up with strategies on how libraries in Uzbekistan can collaborate with other libraries in Central Asia towards more dynamic and meaningful programs related to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

    Professional Mobility and Institutional Cooperation in Kazakhstan: A Model for Dynamic Library Services in Asia
    (Nazarbayev University, 2017) Alenzuela, Reysa C.
    Globalization is an impetus for broader collaboration and academic mobility. The need for global competitiveness in terms of knowledge and services gave rise to various forms of cooperation from the institutional level to the subsystems like the library. Libraries as key players in building a culture of research and knowledge development need to meet the international standards. This empirical descriptive-narrative shares about the role of institutional cooperation and professional mobility in order for libraries to develop dynamic services and build on the capacity of local practitioners. Insights from vicarious experience as a librarian and internationally patterned services will also be discussed. This hopes to provide a model for developing libraries in Asia.
