The BCLA Information Policy Committee is a standing committee of the British Columbia Library Association – membership is open to any member of BCLA. The Committee was established to advance the interests of citizens and library users in gaining and maintaining affordable and equitable access to information, and to ensure that the public interest is safeguarded in any government decisions relating to information policy.
What We Do:
- Monitor developments in information access and advise BCLA and the general library community on appropriate policies and actions
- Organize conferences, public talks, newsletter articles, salons, brochures, etc.
- Develop public education and lobby campaigns
- Establish liaisons and coalitions with other organizations to further the position of BCLA in ensuring the public good is paramount in information policy development.
Every year, we host a series of Information Policy Salons. These events are informal gatherings with a potluck meal followed by guest speakers and discussion on a wide variety of topics. We also organize public events in celebration of Information Rights Week. And we will continue to monitor the state of information access in BC, Canada and the wider world in the light of governmental changes and international trade agreements.
Bring your concerns and suggestions to our next meeting!
