IFLA Releases 2024-2029 Strategy
From the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA):
The Strategy
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.
Based on this same engagement with members and volunteers, we also identified key priorities for the new Strategy which are reflected in the final text.
It leads with a new and clearer vision, which underlines strongly the role we see libraries as having in the world:
Sustainable futures for all through knowledge and information
It also focuses on three impact areas:
- Impact area 1: Libraries are connected and energised through vibrant, global professional communities
- Impact area 2: Libraries are recognised, represented and valued as partners
- Impact area 3: Libraries are enabled to deliver meaningful change at all levels
