Isn’t interesting how things come together? Here I am in Cape Town in winter (more like the fall weather in Toronto) at the IFLA preconference workshop for Library and Research Services for Parliaments in the parliament building of South Africa. In late May I was at the CLA conference in Newfoundland (which really felt like winter)wher a number of colleagues saw icebergs. In Cape Town, I saw penguins the other day. And today, Moira Fraiser, New Zealand Parliamentary Librarian & Group Manager, Information & Knowledge, mentioned a new book on change by John Kotter, Our Iceberg is Melting. The book talks about how change happens to everyone and that everyone can lead change. It uses penguins and their melting icebergs to get the points across. Icebergs, penguins, and change — a theme for me this year!
