(Affiches Atar, Genève, 1943) Affolter, Walter; L'Académie des Arts Appliqués (AAA)
Poster used for WWII prisoner of war book collection campaign IFLA was involved with in Switzerland; size: 99 x 65 cm. "In February 1943, a subcommittee was tasked with drawing up plans for a book collection drive in Switzerland. Organized under the banner "The Prisoner's Book" ('Le livre du prisonnier'), it was supported by the press and radio and promoted via a highly successful poster. Free postage was granted for shipments from donors, thanks to the [Comité International de la Croix-Rouge] ICRC's participation in the campaign. Participating organization —notably the YMCA—provided numerous volunteers to handle the work entailed by the drive; launched initially in Geneva, it subsequently expanded to other Swiss cantons. Local committees, which were highly active, retained a great deal of autonomy. Thanks to an effective division of tasks and the fact that appeals were made jointly, the drive succeeded in collecting 1,290,000 books and brochures in Switzerland; of these, approximately 827,000 deemed suitable for use were distributed among the participating organizations."

From Document to Action: Sustaining Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Hiring and Retention Practices in University Libraries
(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-09-10) Vong, Silvia; Kumaran, Maha
This poster reports findings from a survey with a focus on the research question: how has EDI practices, policies, and/or legislation in government and institutions moved from document to action to address the underrepresentation of librarians and library workers in academic libraries? The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of EDI documentation on hiring, training, and programs through the insights of people from underrepresented groups in libraries. Institutional documents have long been criticized as non-performative (Ahmed, 2012), where the act of creating EDI-related documents is often the action rather than changes to workplace culture and institutional practices. This poster summarizes some key findings through visuals that represent what people may experience on a pathway (i.e., workplace culture) and the importance of sustaining a practice of care in institutions (i.e., taking care of the green space) and the need for university libraries to give space for thriving communities (e.g., gardens). Our gaze looks towards institutions to identify better library practices so that documents turn into action.
