Abstract

Innovations in the 21st century have reshaped learning among people of different age, educational qualification, race, gender and geographical location. As a lifelong behaviour, it is predicted that the future of learning will transcend the conventional learning pattern and walls of the classroom with the introduction of open practices (such as the open educational resources) and the decolonization of educational content for both formal and informal learning. This discussion and many more characterized the 5thAfLIA conference and 7th African Library Summit in Accra, Ghana, as Librarians in Africa gathered to discuss the future of learning, libraries and sustainable development in Africa. The conference provided opportunity for Librarians in Africa to re-think their place in the future of learning and help achieve sustainable development. This paper, therefore, highlights the key activities and issues discussed during the 5th AfLIA Conference and 7th African Library Summit held in Accra, Ghana, from 22nd to 26th May, 2023.

21 世纪的创新重塑了不同年龄、学历、种族、性别和地理位置的人之间的学习。作为一种终身行为,随着开放实践(如开放教育资源)的引入以及正规和非正规学习中教育内容的非殖民化,预计未来的学习将超越传统的学习模式和教室围墙。非洲图书馆员齐聚一堂,讨论非洲学习、图书馆和可持续发展的未来。会议为非洲图书馆员提供了重新思考自身在未来学习中的地位并帮助实现可持续发展的机会。因此,本文将重点介绍 2023 年 5 月 22 日至 26 日在加纳阿克拉举行的第 5 届非洲图书馆员协会大会暨第 7 届非洲图书馆峰会期间的主要活动和讨论的问题。
