Abstract

This paper details the analytical process and presents recommendations for the enhancement of the International Librarians Networking Program (ILNP), informed by participant feedback. The work was done as part of the 2023 American Library Association’s (ALA) Emerging Leaders program. The recommendations span four critical dimensions: communication enhancement, application process revision, poster project refinement, and the establishment of an alumni group. These proposed enhancements aim to effectively address the challenges articulated by ILNP participants, elevate the program’s overall quality, and align it with the overarching objectives of the International Relations Round Table (IRRT). IRRT’s mission revolves around empowering librarians worldwide through networking and the exchange of professional knowledge, making these proposed improvements integral to realizing this mission.
