Proceedings from a conference on professional development and workplace learning for library and information professionals that took place in South Africa last year. There's a lot of content here, contained in a single PDF that won't allow you to copy and paste, making it cumbersome and inconvenient for researchers. The focus is on 'leadership' and the articles wrestle not only with how to deliver training but also the question of what traits constitute 'leadership' in a global environment. Other papers look at applied leadership, such as a product to document the legacy of the African National Congress. E-Learning is discussed in basic terms (Mason and Noord) with a focus on course development. Worth highlighting is Marielle de Miribel, who looks at different types of leadership. Also worth reading are Roberts and Black, who draw on Kolb to look at leadership learning from a theoretical perspective. "Effective leadership," they write, "fosters leadership in others. Perhaps it is as simple as that."
