So you want to organise a library leadership programme...

This guide, based on the work prepared by AFLI for IFLA and SIGL, aims to take you through the series of decisions you will want to make when preparing a library leadership programme. At each stage, you should read this paper in conjunction with the AFLI report, as well as the data reference file, which lists programmes and allows you to filter them in different ways, in order to look in more depth at real-world examples from which you can learn. It is presented as a series of questions that you will need to answer as you plan for a course. It is designed to make these choices explicit and so make sure that you can think through all of the options when preparing such a course. The questions are cumulative – you do not necessarily need to answer them in order (and indeed, the answers to some are likely to be closely linked to those of others).

本指南基于AFLI为IFLA与SIGL筹备的工作成果，旨在带领您梳理筹备图书馆领导力项目（library leadership programme）时所需做出的一系列决策。在每个阶段，您均应结合AFLI报告以及数据参考文件一同阅读本指南；该数据参考文件罗列了各类项目，并支持以多种维度进行筛选，以便您深入探究可供学习借鉴的真实案例。本指南以一系列问题的形式呈现，您在规划相关课程时需逐一作答。其设计初衷在于明确各项决策环节，确保您在筹备此类课程时能够全面考量所有可选方案。这些问题具有累积性——您无需严格按照顺序作答（事实上，部分问题的答案很可能与其他问题的答案紧密相关）。
