THEME: LEADERSHIP
AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: There are two basic schools
of thought about how best to set up collaborative relationships between
libraries in the North and those in the South. On the one hand there
are coordinated programs involving a certain amount of setting up
and managing. At the other end of the continuum there are very many
small-scale, peer-to-peer arrangements—mostly of the “sister
library” type. The session takes the form of a formal debate
on the question This house believes that time spent coordinating is
seldom wasted, and two invited speakers from different backgrounds
will speak to each side of the question. The motion will then be thrown
open to general debate from the floor, allowing delegates to express
opinions and share experience before the session concludes with a
vote.

THEME:
HEALERS AND HEALING
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This
presentation will address different perspectives on healing, from
aboriginal to contemporary biomedical. The different ideas these medical
systems pose about the person, about mind and body, and about healing
will be considered as well as how these different medical systems
can be integrated. How healing occurs within the lives of specific
individuals and how transformation (including spiritual) relates to
healing and a cure will be explored through story and narration. The
speaker will discuss how information about these practices can lead
to improved health care and lessen the gap in health disparities among
different populations and how health care providers can learn about
traditional, aboriginal, and indigenous practices in ways that are
sensitive, non-intrusive, and respectful.
