    Les bibliothèques dans le monde: programme à long terme pour la Fédération internationale des associations de bibliothécaires [1963]
    (Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague, 1963) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Brummel, Leendert; Francis, Frank
    Extrait de l'introduction : « Il y a cinq ans la Fédération Internationale des Associations de Bibliothécaires n'était au fond qu'un rassemblement des bibliothécaires de l'Europe occidentale, avec quelques renforts aux Etats-Unis. Aujourd'hui c'est une organisation mondiale qui représente les bibliothèques de 52 pays. Il s'agit là de plus qu'une croissance naturelle: cela implique une révolution dans les responsabilités de la Fédération et une extension considérable de ses activités. Celles-ci, à leur tour, influent sur la structure même de l'organisation. La FIAB vient de renforcer son organisation interne par la création d'un secrétariat permanent; elle fera en même temps tout son possible pour décentraliser l'administration en créant des groupements régionaux d'associations de bibliothécaires. En ce qui concerne les activités de la Fédération, on a jugé utile d'ébaucher un programme pour les cinq à dix années à venir, et c'est ce programme qui est présenté dans les pages suivantes. » [Gustav Hofmann, président de la FIAB de 1958 à 1963]

    Libraries in the world : a long-term programme for the International Federation of Library Associations [1963]
    (Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague, 1963) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Brummel, Leendert; Francis, Frank
    From the introduction: "Five years ago the International Federation of Library Associations was predominantly a forum for librarianship in Western Europe with some support from the United States. Now it is an organisation of world-wide scope representing libraries in 52 countries. This is something more than growth; it implies a radical change in responsibility and a considerable extension of activities. These, in turn, make an impact on the structure of the organisation itself. IFLA has reinforced its central position by establishing a permanent secretariat; it will also do its utmost to decentralise some of its functions by founding regional groups of library associations. With regard to the activities of the Federation, it seems desirable to outline a programme for the next five to ten years. It is this programme that is presented in the following pages." [Gustav Hofmann, IFLA President 1958-1963]

    Studies in Comparative Librarianship: Three Essays Presented for the Sevensma Prize 1971
    (1973) Burnett, A. D.; Gupta, R. K.; Simsova, S.; Francis, Frank
    Studies in Comparative Librarianship presents three essays awarded in the 1971 Sevensma Prize competition, authored by A.D. Burnett, R.K. Gupta, and S. Šimšová. Published in 1973 on behalf of IFLA by the Library Association, the volume explores the complexities of comparing library services across different national and cultural contexts. The authors examine methodological challenges such as data collection, interpretation, and the influence of social, political, and economic environments on libraries. Through critical reflection, the essays highlight the potential of comparative studies to foster international understanding while acknowledging the limits imposed by subjective perspectives, incomplete data, and institutional variability. The collection serves both as a scholarly contribution and a foundational resource for future research in comparative librarianship.
