    This issue of the IFLA Journal explores critical developments in global librarianship, with a focus on professional training, information access, and cultural preservation.

Several pieces address the shifting landscape of cataloguing, including the evolution of MARC formats and authority control. Contributions also examine the preservation of oral traditions in South Africa and accessibility for the visually impaired. Reports highlight international cooperation, including updates from IFLA’s sections and projects like FAIFE and ALP. Together, these contributions reflect the library community’s commitment to equitable information services, technological adaptation, and the safeguarding of cultural heritage. The issue emphasizes collaboration, professional development, and the need for libraries to evolve as dynamic, inclusive institutions in an increasingly digital world.

    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2005-08-16) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Seidelin, Susanne; Hamilton, Stuart

The main findings of the 2005 World Report are that the state of intellectual freedom in many parts of the world remains fragile, and that libraries are striving to do their best to provide access to information to their users, even if this is extremely problematic in some countries.
