Message from the President 2015-2016 As ACURIL president 2015-2016, it is my privilege and great joy to invite you once again to my beautiful country for ACURIL 46th annual conference! Monday June 6, 2016 Dear colleagues and friends Greetings from Pétion-Ville, Haiti. The 46th conference of ACURIL will be held from 5-9 June 2016, in the beautiful Republic of Haiti. This unique event is organized for the second time in Haiti, the first Black Republic in the world by a collaborative team of various colleagues and information specialists in Haiti. The theme for this year’s conference is: Leadership: A bridge between tradition and innovation in Libraries, Archives and Museums of the Caribbean. As members of the ACURIL professional community, we have combined our efforts to offer a training space, which can foster significant new knowledge and capacity building. For its forty-six conference, ACURIL will provide a space for enrichment to its members and other information professionals in the Caribbean, while offering leadership skills and best practices. Our event will feature key conferences, seminars, practical workshops, and exhibitions about the information industry with important updates to ensure that the training objective is reached. The local organizing committee has worked hard to provide the necessary environment and make your stay in Haiti memorable. Let us share our experiences, and let us take advantage of this learning environment and discovery of our dearest Haiti. I am much honored to welcome you personally. Elizabeth Pierre-Louis Augustin, PhD ACURIL President 2015-2016 Program Director Fondation Connaissance et Liberté – FOKAL epierrelouis@fokal.org
To all Acurileans and information professionals The celebration of the 46th annual conference of ACURIL to be held from June 5-9, 2016, in Pétion-Ville, Haiti, is an excellent opportunity to share knowledge and experiences in new information technologies; it will enable colleagues to learn about the latest advances in the field, interact with suppliers of products and services to libraries, and to exchange ideas with professional colleagues from the Caribbean. The conference theme this year: Leadership: a bridge between tradition and innovation in libraries, archives and museums of the Caribbean chosen by President Elizabeth Pierre-Louis Augustin. The logo alludes to the Marron Inconnu, sculpted by Albert Mangonès in 1969. In this homage to the anonymous hero of an oppressed race, the artist wished to convey a more universal message: that throughout history and beyond all regional boundaries, humanity’s destiny is freedom. A detail from this famous sculpture is our definitive logo for the ACURIL 46 conference in Haiti. Haitian librarians, through their local organizing committee, have made great efforts to secure adequate infrastructure to host the conference, and chosen the social and cultural activities to ensure the success of this momentous event. About 200 information professionals participate each year in the conference ACURIL; and, we were very proud to work in the second edition in Haiti. For us, Haitians, it will be a great honor and pleasure to welcome you all in our country, host of the ACURIL conference for the second time in forty-six years. Thank you for the support once again. We look forward to seeing you all. Erick Toussaint Conference Coordinator, Local Organizing Committee ACURIL XLVI HAITIhttp://acuril2016haiti.blogspot.com/ acuril2016haiti@gmail.com

Leadership: A bridge between tradition and innovation in Libraries, Archives and Museums of the Caribbean PROGRAMME INFORMATION Conference theme Library, archive and museum professionals are all confronted to change: new technology, new audiences, new services and new challenges. Also the traditional workforce is retiring and it is very important to have a legacy for all information professionals. Leadership is seen as tool as well as a philosophy to bridge the gap between changing times and expectations. Description of Logo We chose the head blowing on a conch of the famed sculpture by Albert Mangones, the Unknown Marroon. The man represented in this sculpture (bronze, 3.40 meters long by 2.60 meters high) is a half-naked fugitive. At his ankle, the bracelet of a broken chain, his right knee on the ground, his left leg stretched back, his torso arched, he holds in his left hand the conch in which he is blowing to alert his brothers, his face turned upward toward the sky. In his right fist leaning on the ground he holds a machete bearing the artist’s signature. The conch symbolizes the rallying call to fight for freedom, the machete is the symbol for armed revolt and the broken chain represents rupture from bondage. A motif has been chosen, in order to lessen the raw masculinity of the sculpture and be more gender sensitive. Red and blue are the symbol of the Haitian flag but also the colors of Acuril. Finally, the block where is written ACURIL holds the shape of a book, but warped by speed or the future, toward the right. Leadership is also about building and shaping the future of our profession.
Objective of the Conference The ACURIL Conference 2016 seeks to bring together information professionals from the Caribbean and other parts of the world to elaborate, discuss and learn more about leadership, innovation and best practices in librarianship. We will bring forward as well professionals that are networking in order to develop these skills. We will also celebrate the leadership within ACURIL, a regional association of 47 years. There will be specific tribunes to exchange and learn from past presidents as well as Acuril activists. Nowadays, where most information is produced and shared electronically, the conference will be paperless; laptops, tablets etc. will be needed during the conference. The participants will be encouraged, by the presentations and workshops at the conference, to start thinking seriously how to apply the new knowledge acquired as proactive leaders, managers or staff members in their respective organizations. Furthermore, it is hoped that an awareness will be triggered to keep up sharing experiences with colleagues, continue to be up-to-date by studying, stay up-todate on new developments attending conferences and seminars, for his or her benefit and to contribute to the profession. Activities: Innovation workshop, leadership workshop, plenary sessions, poster session of Caribbean library, museum and archives leaders. As well as other innovative session: such as meet and greet of newcomers, workshops‌And of course many exciting opportunities to mix, learn, and have fun
