Abstract

Professional associations provide resources to support members' career development and facilitate ways for members to engage with and learn from one another. This article describes Medical Library Association (MLA) activities related to the revision of professional competencies and the restructuring of the organization's communities during the past twenty-five years. Grounded in MLA's Platform for Change, the MLA competency statement underwent two revisions with core themes remaining consistent. Major efforts went into rethinking the structure of MLA communities, and it became a strategic goal of the association. Numerous groups spent considerable time guiding the changes in MLA's community structure. Sections and special interest groups were transformed into caucuses. Domain hubs were established to facilitate project coordination across caucuses and create more leadership opportunities for MLA members, but their implementation did not meet expectations. Member engagement and leadership are ongoing challenges for MLA. The next twenty-five years will undoubtedly see additional revisions to the competencies and continued iterations of the community structure.

医学图书馆协会能力和社区 25 年。
专业协会提供资源支持会员的职业发展,并促进会员之间的相互交流和学习。本文介绍了医学图书馆协会(MLA)在过去二十五年中与修订专业能力和重组组织社区相关的活动。基于医学图书馆协会的《变革纲领》,医学图书馆协会的能力声明经历了两次修订,但核心主题保持一致。对 MLA 社区结构的重新思考已成为协会的一项战略目标。许多小组花费了大量时间指导 MLA 社区结构的变革。部门和特殊兴趣小组转变为核心小组。建立了领域中心,以促进核心小组之间的项目协调,并为工作重点成员创造更多的领导机会,但其实施情况并未达到预期。会员参与和领导力是工作重点一直面临的挑战。毫无疑问,在未来的二十五年中,将对能力要求进行更多的修订,并对社区结构进行不断的迭代。
