Re-imagining Libraries 

In July 2008, NSLA released the Re-imagining Libraries Strategic Plan, a vision and strategic framework for action by member libraries.

This program of work is accelerating the transformation of our libraries by tackling challenges collaboratively. We are exploring new systems of work and new services. See summary reports of our achievements in 2009 and 2010.

As at December 2011, NSLA has 11 projects and working groups. They are all working towards achieving the Re-imagining Libraries vision, and to strengthening the information infrastructure in Australia and New Zealand.

Vision

In collaboration, the National, State and Territory Libraries of Australia and New Zealand will become leaders in empowering people to create, discover, use and transform our collections, content and global information resources.

We are delivering this vision through three strategies:

• One Library will put people at the centre. We will redefine services to provide a consistent and easy experience across our libraries.
• Transforming Our Culture will change our culture and workplace. We will promote a new culture which supports new services, innovation and emerging technologies.
• Accessible Content sees collaboration as the key to liberating our content. We will empower everyone to find, share and create content.
