Stay up to date with our latest developments, initiatives, and new resources!
In the February 2025 IFLA newsletter, we answer the question “what is IFLA?” by taking a curated deep dive into our most recent activities, updates, and initiatives, as well highlighting the importance of promoting engagement.
As IFLA makes way for its centenary in 2027, it is useful to think about how and why we began and have evolved over the decades. But some of the core material needed to dig in hasn't been easy to reach, so we are developing a new collection out of our archives and beyond in order to help better equip researchers and enthusiasts with the access, tools and resources needed for deeper exploration. Dig in!
Por ello, solicitamos artículos breves en español e inglés que aborden los retos a los que se enfrentan las bibliotecas y la profesión bibliotecaria, sobre todo en términos de censura, condiciones de trabajo precarias, servicio a poblaciones marginadas y las luchas por el acceso a recursos y servicios.
