IFLA Looks to the Future
IFLA published its 2023 Annual Report, stating, “With a strong focus on sharing stories of our impact, as well as other key facts and figures around our work, this provides a great snapshot of what our Federation is all about.” The same day, IFLA unveiled its 2024–2029 strategy, which “provides a structure and reference for the work of IFLA, including of course its roughly 60 volunteer groups. As our survey work for its preparation has underlined, it can also be a tool and stimulus for IFLA’s members in preparing their own plans.” The strategy “underlines strongly the role [IFLA] see[s] libraries as having in the world: Sustainable futures for all through knowledge and information.”IFLA created a survey “to understand the work already taking place in [library] associations and relevant agencies” around “supporting and promoting intellectual freedom.” The results will help inform IFLA’s development of “a collection of examples of tools, documents, policies and more that can help build capacity and activity around intellectual freedom globally.” The deadline to respond is Nov. 8, 2024.
