    IFLA: Library Universality in a Divided World
    (SAGE, 2002-10) Campbell, Harry C.
    A companion article to ‘IFLA’s first fifty years: a reprise. Extracts from ‘An Outline of IFLA’s History’ by Joachim Wieder, selected and edited by Harry Campbell’ (IFLA Journal 28 (2002) No. 3, p. 107–117). Both articles are published in commemoration of IFLA’s 75th anniversary in 2002. Covers highlights in the history of IFLA from 1977–2002. During this period, IFLA membership increased in geographic scope and numbers, and major new programme initiatives were undertaken to provide the services that would best benefit its members. Also during this period, IFLA attempted to take on a role as the world’s leading non-governmental library and information management association, in spite of severe financial restrictions. IFLA was twice reorganized during this period, first after 1977 and secondly in 2000. The presidencies of Preben Kirkegaard, Else Granheim, Hans-Peter Geh, Robert Wedgeworth and Christine Deschamps saw the evolution of core programmes and activities for: Universal Bibliographic Control and International MARC (UBCIM); Universal Availability of Publications (UAP); Preservation and Conservation (PAC); Advancement of Librarianship (ALP); Universal Dataflow and Telecommunications (UDT); Copyright and other Legal Matters (CLM); and Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE). At 2002 the worldwide gap between the have and have-not nations with adequate library and information services remains as stark as when IFLA was first established in 1927.
