    Designing Library Space for Children
    (De Gruyter Saur, 2011-12) IFLA Library Buildings and Equipment Section; IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section; Bon, Ingrid; Cranfield, Andrew; Latimer, Karen
    In recent years the library community has seen a renewed interest in library architecture and design. This is due to the change of focus from content and collection development to how libraries engage with their users in a digital age. This means that librarians, architects, politicians and patrons must develop new visions, concepts and ideas for the design and building of libraries. This book brings together a number of articles based on presentations from the IFLA World Congress 2009: historical view of the development of children's libraries over the last century, a look at how children use new media, libraries of the future, innovative design projects for children's libraries from around the world.

    IFLA 0-18세어린이도서관서비스지침 - 제2판 2018 (2003년 초판 발행)
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2021-05) IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section; Rankin, Carolynn; National Library for Children and Young Adults South Korea
    The IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section (C&YA Section) have undertaken this revision of the Guidelines for Children's Libraries Services, last published in 2003, to represent good practice in library services for children. The IFLA standards are internationally reviewed, published and regularly updated documents and each reflects current consensus on principles, guidelines, best practice or models for a particular activity or service. It is acknowledged there are significant differences in the current state of public libraries across the world. For many children’s librarians these IFLA Guidelines will be aspirational as they strive to meet the basic provision of books and to support reading. The Guidelines are not a set of rules for designing an ideal library service for children of all abilities. They suggest what may be feasible while being aware there are wide differences in social, cultural and economic circumstances in developing, middle income and industrialized countries. Each public library has a different community to serve and therefore different priorities and user needs. The IFLA Guidelines for Library Services for Children Aged 0-18 can be used to support the development and improvement of library services for children in all regions of the world. These Guidelines promote and encourage the development of effective library services for children of all abilities by giving guidance to the international library community about children's needs and rights on information, literacy and reading. The intention is to help public libraries implement high quality children's services in the digital age and recognising the changing role of the library in modern society. The IFLA Global Vision discussion shows that libraries are deeply committed to core roles in supporting literacy, learning and reading and are focused on our communities. Quality of education and universal literacy is recognised in the vision for the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The revised Guidelines provide up to date knowledge and professional insight for those who strategically plan or deliver children's library services and programmes. They are aimed at practicing librarians, library staff, library managers and administrators and the students and lecturers in library and information studies faculties. The Guidelines can help to inform decision makers and those involved in developing policies. The information will also benefit non-government organisations (NGOs) who support literacy and reading programs for children and their families.

    IFLA juhised kuni 18-aastaste laste raamatukoguteeninduseks
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-01-09) IFLA Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section; Rankin, Carolynn; Eesti Raamatukoguhoidjate Ühing
    IFLA laste- ja noorteraamatukogude sektsioon kaasajastas viimati 2003. aastal ilmunud lasteraamatukogu teenuste juhendit („Guidelines for Children’s Library Services“), milles kirjeldatakse lastele mõeldud raamatukoguteenuste head tava. IFLA standardid on rahvusvaheliselt retsenseeritud, avaldatud ja regulaarselt uuendatavad dokumendid, mis peegeldavad hiliseimat konsensust mingi tegevuse või teenuse põhimõtete, juhiste, parimate tavade või mudelite kohta. Teadupärast tegutsevad rahvaraamatukogud maailma eri paigus praegu märkimisväärselt erinevates tingimustes. Paljude lasteraamatukoguhoidjate jaoks esindavad need IFLA juhised suunda, mille poole püüelda ajal, kui nad ise peavad pingutama elementaarse raamatutega varustamise ja lugemise toetamise nimel. Need juhised ei ole reeglikogum, mille abil kujundada erineva võimekusega laste jaoks ideaalne raamatukoguteenus. Juhised soovitavad seda, mis võiks olla jõukohane, võttes arvesse arengumaade, keskmise sissetulekuga riikide ning arenenud tööstusriikide sotsiaalsete, kultuuriliste ja majanduslike tingimuste suuri erinevusi. Igal rahvaraamatukogul on teenindada erinev kogukond ning seetõttu erinevad ka prioriteedid ning kasutajate vajadused. IFLA juhiseid kuni 18-aastaste laste raamatukoguteeninduseks saab kasutada laste raamatukoguteenuste arendamiseks ja täiustamiseks maailma kõigis piirkondades. Need juhised edendavad ja julgustavad erineva võimekusega lastele mõeldud tõhusate raamatukoguteenuste väljatöötamist, andes rahvusvahelisele raamatukoguüldsusele infot laste vajaduste ja õiguste kohta, mis puudutavad teavet, kirjaoskust ja lugemisoskust. Eesmärgiks on aidata digiajastul rahvaraamatukogudel ellu rakendada heatasemelised lasteteenused ning teadvustada raamatukogu muutuvat rolli kaasaegses ühiskonnas. IFLA globaalse visiooni („Global Vision“) arutelud on näidanud, et raamatukogud annavad olulise panuse kirjaoskuse, õppimise ja lugemise toetamisse ning on keskendunud meie kogukondadele. Hariduse kvaliteet ning üldine kirjaoskus on hinnatud olulisteks väärtusteks ÜRO säästva arengu tegevuskavas aastani 2030. Käesolevad ümbertöötatud juhised pakuvad ajakohaseid teadmisi ja erialaseid arusaamu neile, kes planeerivad strateegiliselt või pakuvad vahetult lasteraamatukogu teenuseid ja programme. Juhised on suunatud raamatukoguhoidjatele, raamatukogu personalile, raamatukogu juhtidele ning raamatukogunduse ja infoteaduse eriala üliõpilastele ning õppejõududele. Juhised saavad olla abiks otsutajate ning poliitikakujundajate informeerimisel. Teabest saavad kasu ka mittetulundusühingud (MTÜ-d), kes toetavad lastele ja nende peredele mõeldud kirjaoskuse ning lugemisprogramme.
