About the committee:
The BC Library Association Information
Policy Committee is a standing committee of BCLA established to advance
the interests of citizens and library users in gaining and maintaining affordable
and equitable access to information, and ensuring that "the public interest
is safeguarded in any government decisions related to information policy".
What we do:
- monitor developments in information access and advise BCLA Executive
on appropriate policies and actions
- prepare discussion and position papers for the Association
- encourage ongoing education of BCLA members on information policy
through conferences, talks, newsletter articles, brochures and electronic
media
- develop public education and lobby campaigns
- establish liaisons and coalitions with other organizations, especially
library associations, to further the position of BCLA in ensuring the
"public good" is paramount in information policy development.
