LIANZA Values

Kia whakahaumakotia te Mana o ngā tāngata katoa, mā te:

Enhancing the Mana of all people through:

Kaitiakitanga

He kaitiaki mātauranga, he kaitiaki mōhiohio hoki mātou nā reira, me mōhio ki ngā haepapa o te āta tiaki i ngā taonga tuku ihio kia toitū ai. Ka kōkiritia e mātou kia pupuritia ai ngā rau maharatanga me te whakamahi i ngā aronga hou, i ngā urutau hoki kia tutuki ai ngā moemoeā o te hunga rangatahi. Mā te ū ki te kaitiakitanga, e whai hua ai ngā whare pukapuka hei pokapū ako, hei pokapū ako tūhura, hei wāhi manawa ū mā te hapori, haere ake nei. 

Guardianship / Custodianship

As custodians of knowledge and information, we recognise our responsibility to safeguard cultural heritage and promote sustainability in everything we do. We advocate for the preservation of our collective memory while embracing innovation and adaptation to meet the needs of future generations. Through our commitment to guardianship, we ensure that libraries remain vibrant hubs of learning, discovery, and community engagement for years to come.

Whakaute

Ko te tūāpapa o ā tatou pāhekohekotanga katoa, he whakaute, i waenganui i ngā mema rānei, i ngā hoa pakihi rānei, i te hapori rānei. E whakaute ana mātou i ngā rau tirohanga, me te tūtohu kei ia tāngata tōna reo hei tāpiri atu ki te tui raumata. Ko ngā putanga o tā mātou ū ki te whakaute, he hāpai i ngā mātāpono o Te Tiriti o Waitangi, he matapopore hoki i ngā Mātauranga Māori me ngā tikanga.

Respect

Respect is at the core of our interactions, whether with our members, partners, or the communities we serve. We respect diverse perspectives, acknowledging that each voice contributes to the rich tapestry of our sector. Our commitment to respect extends to upholding the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, recognising and valuing the unique knowledge and cultural heritage of Māori.

Mana Taurite

Ko te mana taurite te kaikōkiri kia ōrite ai te uru ki ngā rauemi mōhiohio, ki ngā ratonga hoki, hāunga ngā āhuatanga o tēnā, o tēnā. Ka ū mātou ki te whakapono kei ia tāngata te matatika kia whai wāhi ai ki te whakatewhatewha, ki te ako, ki te whakawhanake anō hoki.

Equity

Ensuring fair and equitable access to information resources and services for all members of society, regardless of background or circumstances. We hold firm to the belief that every individual deserves an equal opportunity to embark on a journey of exploration, learning, and growth.

Rangapū me te Mahi Tahi

E whakapono ana mātou he mana tā te mahi tahi kia ahu whakatika ai i runga i te angitu. Mā te whakatū rangapū, e whakakaha ai te whakaaweawe me te kōkiri i ngā kaupapa e hiahiatia ana. Mā te mahi tahi, e whakatinana ai i ngā whāinga kia whakapakaritia ai te reo o LIANZA, me te kōkiri i ngā panonitanga whaihua.

Partnership & collaboration

We believe in the power of collaboration to drive positive change. By forging strong partnerships, we amplify our impact and advocate effectively for the needs of our sector. Together, we work towards common goals, leveraging our collective expertise to strengthen our sector voice, driving positive changes.

Whakamana me te whakawhanake

Ko tā mātou whai kia whakamanatia ngā whare pukapuka me te hunga ngaio mōhiohio kia whakawhanake ai i roto i tēnei ao hurihuri. Me pēhea e tutuki ai? Mā ngā kaupapa pērā me te ako ngaiotanga, te kāpeka aramahi, te hōtaka rēhita tika, e taea ai te whakangungu, te whakamanawa hoki i ō tātou hunga mahi. E whakapono ana mātou mā te āta poipoi i ngā pūkenga, mā te whakatītina i te ako taumano, mā reira rawa e hanga he rāngai mōruki, he rāngai auaha, he rāngai anga whakamua hoki.

 

Empower & grow

We are committed to empowering library and information professionals to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape. Through initiatives like professional development opportunities, career pathways, and a robust registration scheme, we invest in the growth and resilience of our workforce. We believe that by nurturing talent and fostering lifelong learning, we can build an agile, innovative, and future-ready sector.

Whakawhirinakitanga

Ko te whakawhirinakitanga te tūāpapa o ngā hononga o roto o tō tatou tōpūtanga me ngā kiripānga. Ka ngana mātou kia ū ki te ngākau pono, ki te puata, ki ngā taumata tiketike o te papanga. E whakapono ana ō mātōu mema ki ā mātou kōkiri i ngā kaupapa e hiahiatia ana e rātou, nā konā ko te wāhi ki a tātou he mahi i runga i te manawanui, i runga i te whakatūturutanga hoki.

Trust

Trust is the foundation of our relationships within our organisation and with external stakeholders. We strive to uphold the highest integrity, transparency, and accountability standards in all our endeavours. Our members trust us to advocate on their behalf, and we honour that trust by representing their interests with unwavering dedication and authenticity.
