Just Released: IFLA Internet Manifesto (2024 Edition)

From the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA):

This year marks a decade since IFLA’s last Internet Manifesto was launched, and of course the world is a very different place today, the way we access and exchange information keeps changing, however, connectivity remains the gateway through which we can turn that information into knowledge. With the world and our lives becoming increasingly digital, our commitment to global communities remains.

This document represents a unification of library voices in regard to the Internet, it provides our vision of the Internet we want, it sets out a compelling narrative about the place of libraries in the digital space and provides a series of recommendations for different actors.
