The Body of Knowledge

Body of Professional Knowledge

The library and information management profession encompasses a distinctive area of knowledge and skills that is required for effective professional practice.

Library and information professionals need relevant professional expertise, related personal qualities and must apply a code of professional practice.

This body of knowledge has been derived from IFLA guidelines and adapted to include recognition of indigenous knowledge paradigms specific to Aotearoa.
In a rapidly changing information environment it is essential that these professional skills are kept up to date.

I will look at each body of knowledge in more detail over the coming weeks...
