Item type: Item , Enhancing Learning, Creating Information Hubs, and Building Community Across Diverse Campus Groups(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-10-30) Tahir, PeggyThe UCSF Library spearheads innovative efforts to engage campus constituencies and support learning and connection. We are a graduate study health-sciences campus with programs in Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy, and a Graduate Division. Our campus is distributed throughout the city of San Francisco, and our campus population very diverse, including researchers and learners from many countries. The library provides collaborative services supporting research, teaching, and data management. We have created several hubs that provide an array of services to engage members of our campus community. Our education hub teams include the instructional design and teaching support team, the data science and open scholarship team, the education and research librarians’ team, and the UCSF education IT team (Ed-IT). This poster will outline the breadth and scope of services provided across our campus, such as scholarly communication and publication support, technology tools, embedded librarians and outreach to underserved populations, curriculum support, workshops and classes. It will highlight the various support hubs, including a new enterprise-wide hotel hub. It will also present the diversity of our campus and our PRIDE values, which encompass professionalism, respect, integrity, diversity, and excellence.Item type: Item , When Hermes Meets Ethics! What Does Ethics Mean to You?(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-10-30) Song, Juhee"Hermes Meets Ethics" is an interactive poster developed by the IFLA Advisory Committee on Ethics to encourage dialogue on the meaning of ethics within the global library community. Inspired by Hermes, the messenger of Greek mythology, the poster reimagines him as a symbol of libraries, knowledge, and communication. At the heart of the design, the word "ETHICS" serves as the central visual element, with each letter representing a core ethical value and the mission of the Advisory Committee on Ethics. The headline features IFLA’s seven official languages together with Korean, welcoming participants to WLIC 2026 in Busan. Visitors are invited to reflect on the question, "What does ethics mean to you?” and share their own perspectives through Post-it notes and QR codes. By bringing together diverse voices from around the world, the poster transforms ethics into a collaborative conversation, emphasizing dialogue, mutual respect, and cultural diversity as the foundation of ethical librarianship.Item type: Item , 30th IFLA Council session, 13 – 18 September 1964, Rome, Italy [group photograph](International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1964-09) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)Group photograph featuring members of the 30th IFLA Council, which took place from 14 to 18 September 1964 at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome, Italy.
