IFLA Code of Ethics Survey Results
(2025-03-31) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
12 years on from the agreement of the current [2012] version of the IFLA Code of Ethics for Library and Information Workers, IFLA’s Advisory Committee on Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression launched a review process. As a first step in the process, the Committee designed a survey in 2025 for IFLA members, volunteers and others in order to gather input about their awareness and use of the Code, and of the ongoing relevance of the topics it covers. The goal of the survey was to understand more about use of the current Code of Ethics, as well as to gauge what respondents felt about the topics covered, and new aspects or themes which should be taken into account.
