“…The focus groups run as part of the ASIS&T Strategic Planning were in this direction of understanding member needs (Hirsh, ). Some of the challenges faced by IFLA (Wilhite, ) have included insufficient financial and other resources, dependency of membership income, lack of infrastructure, geographically scattered members (Lor, ), creation of a new professional structure, strengthening the relationships with strategic partners, and the development of advocacy policy (Lux, ). Many people are no longer willing to pay for the privilege of belonging when they can get connected with other professionals through Facebook and other social networking tools for free (Kahan, ).…”

Professional associations across various fields have largely been struggling to stay relevant. Many have been watching a steady decline in membership numbers over the years. In many cases, members who join do not renew their membership. Existing members complain about the association not giving enough value for their membership dues. While the association does all the right things that it has been doing for the years since its existence, there is often a gap in what a changing membership base or potential audience for membership demands and what the association is able to deliver. In such a scenario, what must associations do to change the tide, to continue to stay relevant, to stem the decline, and to attract new members, and retain the ones they have? Using literature from knowledge management (KM), especially Agarwal & Marouf (2014)'s KM adoption framework, Nonaka & Takeuchi (1995)'s SECI model, and Agarwal & Islam (2014)'s KM Tools framework, and a study of the websites of professional associations in library and information science, this paper proposes a thriving KM strategy as a way for professional associations to not just survive, but to thrive. The ideas presented would be relevant to the leadership of professional associations.

The present study provides an interdisciplinary perspective on enhancing the cultural (heritage) literacy of young recipients through media production. The aim of the article is to present a comprehensive perspective on a media product that is seen as a means of education that supports implicit learning about culture and cultural heritage. In this context, media products are presented as an effective option for enhancing cultural (heritage) literacy. By presenting a single-case study, the article highlights the importance of the preparation of university-educated professionals for the field of media and culture. These professionals are capable of interpreting, creating and using media products for the process of enhancing the cultural heritage literacy of society. The secondary aim of the article is to contribute to theoretical insights on the topic that is presented, and also to stimulate further, broader discussion on its application in practice, which has been relatively overlooked in current scholarship.
