    Researching IFLA History: sources and resources
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-01-28) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
    This document serves as a preliminary guide for researchers exploring the history of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA), highlighting key resources and archival materials. While already extensive and annotated, this document is not meant to be a comprehensive guide but rather a series of solid starting points for researchers. The emphasis here is on primary source material, published and unpublished, from the IFLA Archives and lesser-known online resources and publications—with direct (digital) access or details on physical location. Much of the archival material referenced has been made available in the IFLA Repository.

    IFLA Guidelines for Green Libraries
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-01) Hauke, Petra; Mocatta, Antonia; Pun, Priscilla Nga Ian
    These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for developing, managing, and evaluating green and sustainable libraries across diverse contexts. Grounded in principles of environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability, the publication outlines practical strategies for integrating sustainability into all aspects of library work. It addresses governance, staff training, operations, collections, services, legal and ethical considerations, and the planning and management of library buildings and equipment. Emphasis is placed on community engagement, accessibility and inclusion, efficient use of resources, and the responsible application of information and communications technology. The guidelines also highlight the role of libraries as exemplars and educators for sustainability within their communities. Through monitoring, evaluation, and continuous improvement, libraries are encouraged to align local actions with global sustainability goals. Case studies and best practices illustrate how libraries of varying sizes and resources can achieve meaningful environmental and social impact.
