    IFLA/UNESCO Public Library Manifesto 1994
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1994-01) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
    Freedom, prosperity and the development of society and of individuals are fundamental human values. They will only be attained through the ability of well-informed citizens to exercise their democratic rights and to play an active role in society. Constructive participation and the development of democracy depend on satisfactory education as well as on free and unlimited access to knowledge, thought, culture and information. The public library, the local gateway to knowledge, provides a basic condition for lifelong learning, independent decision- making and cultural development of the individual and social groups. This Manifesto proclaims UNESCO's belief in the public library as a living force for education, culture and information, and as an essential agent for the fostering of peace and spiritual welfare through the minds of men and women. UNESCO therefore encourages national and local governments to support and actively engage in the development of public libraries.

    Öffentliche Bibliothek. Manifest der IFLA/UNESCO 1994
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1994-11) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
    Freiheit, Wohlstand und die Entwicklung der Gesellschaft und des Einzelnen sind grundlegende menschliche Werte. Diese Werte werden nur verwirklicht, wenn gutinformierten Bürgern die Möglichkeit gegeben wird, ihre demokratischen Rechte auszuüben und eine aktive Rolle in der Gesellschaft zu spielen. Konstruktive Beteiligung und die Entwicklung der Demokratie hängen von zufriedenstellenden Bildungsangeboten und kostenlosem und unbegrenztem Zugang zu Wissen, Gedankengut, Kultur und Informationen ab. Die Öffentliche Bibliothek als lokaler Zugang zum Wissen stellt eine Grundvoraussetzung für lebenslanges Lernen, unabhängige Entscheidungsfindung und kulturelle Entwicklung des Einzelnen und von sozialen Gruppen dar. Das vorliegende Manifest bringt das Vertrauen der UNESCO in die Öffentlichen Bibliothek als lebendige Kraft für Bildung, Kultur und Information und als ein wesentliches Mittel zur Förderung des Friedens und des geistigen Wohls in den Köpfen von Männern und Frauen zum Ausdruck. Die UNESCO ruft daher die nationalen und lokalen Regierungen dazu auf, die Entwicklung der Öffentlichen Bibliotheken aktiv zu unterstützen und zu fördern.

    Manifeste de l'UNESCO sur la bibliothèque publique 1994
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1994-11) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
    La liberté, la prospérité, le progrès de la société et l'épanouissement de l'individu sont des valeurs humaines fondamentales, que seule l'existence de citoyens bien informes, capables d'exercer leurs droits démocratiques et de jouer un rôle actif dans la société permet de concrétiser. Or, participation constructive et progrès de la démocratie requièrent une éducation satisfaisante, en même temps qu'un accès gratuit et sans restriction au savoir, à la pensée, à la culture et à l'information. La bibliothèque publique, clé du savoir à l'échelon local, est un instrument essentiel de l'éducation permanente, d'une prise de décisions indépendante et du développement culturel de l'individu et des groupes sociaux. Par le présent Manifeste, l'UNESCO proclame sa conviction que la bibliothèque publique est une force vivante au service de l'éducation, de la culture et de l'information et un moyen essentiel d'élever dans les esprits les défenses de la paix et de contribuer au progrès spirituel de l'humanité. L'UNESCO encourage en conséquence les autorités nationales et locales a soutenir le développement des bibliothèques publiques et a y contribuer activement.

    Manifiesto de la UNESCO sobre la biblioteca publica 1994
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1994-11) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
    La libertad, la prosperidad y el desarrollo de la sociedad y de la persona son valores humanos fundamentales que sólo podrán alcanzarse si ciudadanos bien informados pueden ejercer sus derechos democráticos y desempeñar un papel activo en el seno de la sociedad. La participación constructiva y la consolidación de la democracia dependen de una buena educación y de un acceso libre e ilimitado al conocimiento, el pensamiento, la cultura y la infamación. La biblioteca pública, paso obligado del conocimiento, constituye un requisito básico de la educación permanente, las decisiones autónomas y el progreso cultural de la persona y los grupos sociales. El presente Manifiesto proclama la fe de la UNESCO en la biblioteca pública como fuerza viva de educación, cultura e infamación y como agente esencial de fomento de la paz y los valores espirituales en la mente del ser humano. Así pues, la UNESCO alienta a las autoridades nacionales y locales a que apoyen las bibliotecas públicas y participen activamente en su desarrollo.

    Basic Serials Management Handbook (BSMH) – Revised ed.
    (München; New Providence; London; Paris: Saur, 1996-01) Szilvássy, Judith
    During long years of involvement in diverse serials-related activities with international bodies like UNESCO; International Organization for Standardization (ISO); International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), the basic concepts and operations appeared obvious. However, on taking up assignment to set up a national centre in one of the less developed countries, I realized that there was a widespread lack of understanding of serials, even of information science and librarianship in general. At the same time, as the years passed, I learned to appreciate the tremendous willingness to learn on the part of the staff I was training. After five years they were perfectly capable of working at an international level. When, following an account of my experiences, I was approached by the IFLA Section on Serial Publications to write a handbook on serials management for librarians in less developed countries, I had a clear idea about their needs, but also about the complexity of the challenge I was facing. The target audience to whom the manual was to be addressed was assumed to have little or no library training and certainly none in serials librarianship. For this reason I felt myself compelled to start from the basic level offering step by step guidance through the various fields of serials management. Accordingly, the general approach adopted throughout the handbook consists in outlining briefly the theoretical/historical background followed by the presentation in italics of the corresponding operational procedures. It should be noted, however, that the latter are described as examples of good practice rather than meant to be prescriptive, and some sections apply, inevitably, also to monographs and other types of documents. Where deemed necessary, the text is accompanied by illustrative examples. The concluding chapters outline the more advanced automated library technologies and introduce the reader to the role of relevant international bodies. Hints and suggestions are also offered on potential sponsors and donors assisting libraries in creating and updating their holdings. The seven annexes, the lists of definitions, acronyms and the recommended literature are expected to assist the librarian in his/her daily work. I wish to express my sincerest appreciation to the members of the Section on Serial Publications and all those who have assisted me with their advice and encouragement in completing the handbook. Particular thanks are due to Hazel Woodward, Section Chair, to Ross Bourne, the referee of the text and to Elayne Meredith Wanke to whom I am indebted for polishing my English.

    IFLA/UNESCO Manifesto perpustakaan awam
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1997-08) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Pusat Bahasa Universiti Sains Malaysia
    Laluan kepada ilmu pengetahuan masyarakat serta individu merupakan nilai-nilai asas kemanusiaan. Nilai-nilai ini hanya akan tercapai sekiranya rakyat berilmu dan berpengetahuan mengamalkan hak demokrasi serta aktif memainkan peranan dalam masyarakat. Penglibatan yang membina dan pengembangan demokrasi bergantung kepada tahap pendidikan yang sempurna dan akses kepada ilmu pengetahuan, pemikiran, kebudayaan dan maklumat tanpa batas. Sebagai wadah menimba ilmu, perpustakaan awam menyediakan keperluan asas untuk pembelajaran seumur hidup, keupayaan membuat keputusan secara bebas dan pembangunan budaya individu mahupun masyarakat. Manifesto ini mengisytiharkan kepercayaan UNESCO terhadap perpustakaan awam sebagai pusat kesinambungan pendidikan, budaya dan maklumat serta sebagai agen penting ke arah mewujudkan kemakmuran dan keharmonian rohani dalam minda setiap individu. Oleh yang demikian UNESCO menggalakan kerajaan pusat dan negeri supaya menyokong dan bergiat aktif dalam mengembangkan perpustakaan awam.

    Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (1998)
    (K.G.Saur Verlag GmbH & Co. KG, 1998-05) IFLA Study Group on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records; Plassard, Marie-France
    The purpose of this study is to delineate in clearly defined terms the functions performed by the bibliographic record with respect to various media, various applications, and various user needs. The study is to cover the full range of functions for the bibliographic record in its widest sense-i.e., a record that encompasses not only descriptive elements, but access points (name, title, subject, etc.), other "organizing" elements (classification, etc.), and annotations. This model is superseded by the 2017 IFLA Library Reference Model: A Conceptual Model for Bibliographic Information (IFLA LRM).

    IFLA/UNESCO Manifest o splošnih knjižnicah 1994
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1998-08) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Sešek, Irena
    Svoboda, blaginja, razvoj družbe in posameznika so temeljne vrednote človeka. Doseči jih je moč samo tedaj, ko je dobro obveščeni državljan sposoben, da sam uresničuje svoje demokratske pravice in se aktivno vključuje v družbo. Konstruktivno sodelovanje v njej in razvoj demokracije sta odvisna od ustrezne izobrazbe in od neoviranega in neomejenega dostopa do znanja, duhovnih dobrin, kulture in informacij. Splošna knjižnica, dostop lokalne skupnosti do znanja, zagotavlja osnovni pogoj za vseživljensko učenje, za samostojno sprejemanje odločitev in kulturni razvoj posameznika in družbenih skupin. S tem manifestom je izraženo verovanje organizacije UNESCO v splošno knjižnico kot gonilno silo vzgoje, kulture in informacij ter, skozi zavest ljudi, bistvenega dejavnika pri promociji miru in duhovne blaginje. UNESCO zato spodbuja nacionalne in lokalne oblasti, da ne le podpirajo razvoj splošnih knjižnic, temveč se vanj tudi aktivno vključujejo.

    ИФЛА/ЮНЕСКО Манифест о публичной библиотеке 1994
    (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 1999-02) UNESCO; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
    Свобода, процветание, развитие общества как и отдельных граждан относятся к числу основополагающих человеческих ценностей. Все это достигается только путем обеспечения возможности для широко информированных граждан осуществлять свои демократические права и играть активную роль в обществе. Плодотворное участие граждан и развитие демократии зависят от получения удовлетворительного образования, а также от свободного и неограниченного доступа к знаниям, идеям, культуре и информации. Публичная библиотека, открывающая путь к знаниям на местном уровне, является неотъемлемым условием обеспечения непрерывного обучения, самостоятельного принятия решений и культурного развития граждан и социальных групп. Настоящий Манифест провозглашает веру ЮНЕСКО в публичную библиотеку как животворный источник образования, культуры и информации, как важный инструмент укрепления в сознании людей идей мира и духовного благосостояния. В связи с этим ЮНЕСКО призывает национальные и местные правительства оказывать поддержку развитию публичных библиотек и активно участвовать в этой деятельности.
