Emerging from the 2024 symposium in Mexico City, “Stewarding Indigenous Knowledge through ethics, law and the archive,” co-sponsored by IFLA’s Indigenous Matters Section and partners, the issue centers Indigenous expertise in reshaping professional practice. The contributions examine legal developments affecting traditional cultural expressions, collaborations between Indigenous communities and heritage institutions, Indigenous data governance, language revitalization, climate adaptation, and community-based library models. Together, they advance ethical stewardship grounded in consultation, co-curation, and respect for sovereignty. Guest editors: Jade Alburo, Sara R. Benson, Raj Kumar Bhardwaj, Collence Takaingenhamo Chisita, Mohit Garg, Melissa G. Ocepek, Melissa M. VandeBurgt, and Damien Webb bring deep expertise in Indigenous librarianship, copyright, cultural heritage law, and community-engaged scholarship, modeling the collaborative and cross-cultural leadership that defines this issue.Item type: Item , 国際書誌コントロールに関するIFLA専門家声明(2025)(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-03-04) IFLA Bibliography Sectionこの専門家声明は、2025年7月にIFLA理事会によって承認され、国際書誌コントロール(UBC)の主要な原則と責任の共有を定義しています。UBCとは、ユーザー指向の重要な書誌情報を適時に作成し共有することにより、書誌及び典拠のメタデータへの世界的な調整とアクセスを実現することを意味します。2012年からIFLA書誌分科会によって維持されてきたこの声明は、書誌分科会、目録分科会、主題分析・アクセス分科会が後援するワーキンググループと、標準諮問委員会、そして国立図書館分科会との協議を経て改訂されました。この声明は、メタデータのより広範なエコシステムにおけるUBCの継続的な重要性と中心性を再確認します。
