The world changed. Information and communications technology developments with high-speed connectivity, massive growth in social media, huge computer storage capacity locally and remotely, ubiquity of mobile devices, and the emergence of artificial intelligence led to new ways of human and machine interaction. Sustainability issues came to the fore, and the pandemic brought social and economic disruption. There was a growing realization that sophisticated skills were required to deal with information access and use in an online world with a surfeit of information, vast quantities of user-generated content—particularly by so-called influencers—and multiple means of digital communication. An overabundance of fake news, misinformation, and disinformation, along with the many platforms being used for the transmission of information, has led to disquiet about the ability of individuals to discover and evaluate the information needed for daily living, participation in the workforce, and scholarly endeavors. Community and individual information needs have changed. Digital natives, who have grown up using computers and smartphones; digital immigrants, who were raised before the ubiquity of information technology and have acquired skills over time; and digital refugees, who have lost jobs due to the emergence of new technology or who are unable or unwilling to use it effectively, have different needs, capabilities, and ways of learning. These differences require librarians and educators to adapt their collections, teaching approaches, and services to reach and engage with these communities. The difficulties of locating, evaluating, and applying the right information at the right time have brought new attention to library values of authority, credibility, veracity, and equitable access to information, and a wider use of the term digital literacy.Item type: Item , IFLA Journal. December 2025(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-12-01) Shatona, Menete N.; Adu-Gyamfi, Samuel; Brenya, Edward; Mills, Godfred Badu; Apau, Dennis; Lee, Pei-Chun; Ncube, Mthokozisi Masumbika; Ngulube, Patrick; Kolarić, Alica; Martinović, Ivana; Stričević, Ivanka; Nazim, Mohammad; Ali, Altaf; Chowdhury, Gobinda; Jack, Ellie; Chowdhury, Sudatta; MacQuarrie, Kirsten; McNamara, Sean; Shimray, Somipam R.; Kaba, Abdoulaye; Singh, Gajendra; Roy, Prodip; Ashilungu, Maria; Shuumbili, Teopolina N.; Ralph, Michael C.; Hegeman, Marisa; Adeyemi, Ismail Olatunji; Otaru, Grace Ometere; Fashola, Olanike Dorcas; Fasoroti, Kofoworola Khairat; Fatai, Fawas Ayomide; Bakare, Abdullahi; Omopupa, Tunde Kamal; Bugre, Charles; Lynch, Renee; Jowaisas, Chris; Young, Jason C.; Merga, Margaret Kristin; Yunus, Norhazura; Ismail, Mohd Nasir; Ninh, Thi Kim Thoa; Nguyen, Hong Sinh; Khan, Zafar Imam; Morris, Martin; Stevens, Gregg A.; Siegel, John; Torres Jr, Efren M.; Abrigo, Christine M.This December 2025 issue of IFLA Journal brings together a wide-ranging collection of scholarship that reflects the global scope and evolving priorities of the library and information field. The volume highlights critical contemporary themes, including trauma-informed librarianship, mental wellness, and the role of libraries as community anchors, alongside examinations of information rights, accessibility, and public policy. Articles explore the implementation of Ghana’s Right to Information Act, library services for persons with disabilities in India, and the information practices of young migrants in Europe. Several contributions address sustainability and digital resilience, illustrating how libraries are adapting to pressing environmental and technological challenges. Studies on library anxiety, big data analytics, and redesigned learning environments further demonstrate the profession’s dynamic response to user needs. Two scoping reviews conclude the issue and offer important insights for further research. One uses AI to help map developments in LGBTQ+ collections while the other examines cultural competence within LIS research.Item type: Item , The Role of Public Libraries in Strengthening the Mechanisms of Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE): An exploratory Study of Public Library Programs, Services and Activities in Egypt and Emirates(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-11-13) Mohamed Ismail, Heba; McGuire, ClaireInclusive and just climate action requires everyone. This is not a challenge that will be solved by technology or science alone. All people, in all stages of life, must have access to opportunities to understand the climate crisis, from the local to the global level. They must have access to information, learning and training opportunities, spaces to share their views and concerns, and changes to get involved in finding solutions. International climate policy recognises this. The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement both include the elements that make up Action for Climate Empowerment, in which all Parties are called to ensure all members of society are able to engage in climate action. For libraries, this is a natural space to connect with global climate ambitions. IFLA feels strongly that libraries of all types are critical pieces of the puzzle, and important partners for helping realise these goals. Climate communication and education cannot happen only within the formal school system. Cultural and community spaces are more important than ever for building trust and connecting with people in a meaningful way. For libraries, where access to information has been a core mission since the beginning, there is a natural connection.Item type: Item , How To Spot Fake News: Climate Edition(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-11-17) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)Critical thinking is a core part of media and information literacy, and libraries continue to champion this by helping communities navigate today’s information society with confidence. A global movement towards Information Integrity for Climate Change recognizes that disinformation about climate change threatens public understanding and delays critical action. As climate change debates become increasingly entangled with fake news and misleading narratives, strengthening digital literacy is more important than ever. In a post-truth environment, access to accurate, evidence-based climate information is essential, and libraries are well placed to support it. This climate edition of IFLA’s Fake News infographic introduces eight clear steps to help readers evaluate the credibility of climate-related news and claims. It encourages everyone to question sources, check evidence, and uphold access to information as a public good. Download, print, translate, and share it in your library, your community, and online to help build a more informed and resilient public.Item type: Item , IFLA-ine smjernice za knjižničnu podršku raseljenim osobama(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-11-13) Gerasimidou, Despina; Bolt, Nancy; Rakočević Uvodić, Maela; Okerson, Ann; Rakočević Uvodić, Maela; Krasić, TenaSuočeni s najvećom globalnom izbjegličkom krizom od Drugog svjetskog rata, podrška raseljenim osobama koju knjižnice pružaju jedna je od najvažnijih stvari koje mi kao knjižničarska zajednica trenutno možemo učiniti. Knjižnice imaju ključnu ulogu kao prostori zajednice kojima se vjeruje i koji su otvoreni svima, bez obzira na njihovu raseljenost, stanje neizvjesnosti ili bilo koju vrstu intersekcionalne ranjivosti s kojom se mogu suočavati istodobno, poput rodnog identiteta, djetinjstva, starije dobi ili invaliditeta. Svojim djelovanjem knjižnice doprinose dvosmjernom procesu integracije: osnažuju raseljene pojedince da se uključe u zajednice domaćina, pomažući im da se oporave od trauma, a istodobno omogućuju i raseljenima i zajednicama domaćinima da uče jedni od drugih i cijene kulturnu raznolikost. Prve IFLA smjernice za knjižnice koje podržavaju raseljenu populaciju imaju za cilj poslužiti kao sredstvo za proširenje tradicionalne uloge knjižničarstva, otvarajući novo područje učenja i razvoja za knjižnice.Item type: Item , Μανιφέστο των IFLA-UNESCO για τη Δημόσια Βιβλιοθήκη 2022(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022) Krass, Ulrike; Allen, Margaret; White, Elizabeth; Cybelle Ferrari, Adriana; Brigant, Annie; Prucková, Lenka; Tarandova, Spaska; Omella i Claparols, Ester; McGuire, Claire; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Eva SemertzakiΤο Μανιφέστο των IFLA-UNESCO για τη Δημόσια Βιβλιοθήκη 2022 προσφέρει ενημέρωση για το σπουδαίο αυτό εργαλείο για τη συνηγορία υπέρ των βιβλιοθηκών. Μετά την τελευταία ενημέρωση το 1994, η νέα έκδοση λαμβάνει υπ’ όψιν αλλαγές στην τεχνολογία και στην κοινωνία, ώστε να διασφαλίζεται ότι το Μανιφέστο συνεχίζει να αντανακλά την πραγματικότητα και την αποστολή των δημοσίων βιβλιοθηκών σήμερα.Item type: Item , ԻՖԼԱ-Ի ՀԱՅՏԱՐԱՐՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ ՀԱՄԸՆԴՀԱՆՈՒՐ ՄԱՏԵՆԱԳԻՏԱԿԱՆ ՎԵՐԱՀՍԿՈՂՈՒԹՅԱՆ (UBC) ՄԱՍԻՆ(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-11-05) Lehmann, Vibeke; Locke, Joanne; National Library of Armenia; National Library of Armenia; Hayrapetyan, NersesՆերկա մասնագիտական հայտարարությունը, որը հաստատվել է ԻՖԼԱ-ի կառավարման խորհրդի կողմից 2025 թվականի հուլիսին, սահմանում է Համընդհանուր մատենագիտական վերահսկողության (ՀՄՎ) հիմնական սկզբունքներն ու համատեղ պարտականությունները: ՀՄՎ-ն վերաբերում է մատենագիտական և հեղինակավոր մետատվյալների գլոբալ համակարգմանը և հասանելիությանը՝ օգտագործողի համար կարևոր մատենագիտական տեղեկատվության ժամանակին ստեղծման և փոխանակման միջոցով: ԻՖԼԱ-ի մատենագիտության բաժնի կողմից մշակված հայտարարությունը 2012 թվականից ի վեր վերանայվել է մատենագիտության, գրացուցակավորման, առարկայական վերլուծության և մուտքի բաժինների կողմից հովանավորվող աշխատանքային խմբի կողմից՝ Ստանդարտների խորհրդատվական կոմիտեի հետ համատեղ՝ խորհրդակցելով Ազգային գրադարանների բաժնի հետ: Այս հայտարարությամբ ԻՖԼԱ-ն վերահաստատում է ՀՄՎ-ի շարունակական կարևորությունն ու առանցքային դերը մետատվյալների առավել լայն էկոհամակարգում։Item type: Item , ИФЛА Смернице за библиотечке услуге за затворенике(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-11-05) Garner, Jane; Krolak, Lisa; Rajić, JelenaОво четврто издање ИФЛА Смерницa за библиотечке услуге за затворенике представља алат за планирање, имплементацију и евалуацију библиотечких услуга намењених затвореницима у свим врстама установа за притвор, укључујући затворе за одрасле и малолетнике, притворске јединице и центре за притвор. Смернице служе као модел за развој националних смерница за затворске библиотеке и могу се прилагодити различитим околностима и потребама на локалном нивоу. Минимални стандарди су део Смерница зато што многе земље неће бити у могућности да се у потпуности придржавају ширих смерница. Смернице представљају алат за планирање нових и за евалуацију постојећих библиотека и могу се користити у недостатку локалних смерница или стандарда. Поред тога што представљају практични алат за оснивање, рад и евалуацију затворских библиотека, ове смернице служе и као општа изјава о основном праву затвореника да читају, уче, приступају информацијама и долазе до њих.Item type: Item , WSIS Reporting 2025 - IFLA Contribution(2025-10-31) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)This document contains IFLA's submission to the Committee on Science and Technology for Development on work towards relevant elements of the World Summit on the Information Society Action Lines, and in particular around public access to the internet in libraries. In line with the template provided, it highlights both recent initiatives to promote access, trends and challenges, and finally looks ahead to future priorities.Item type: Item , Manifest IFLA-UNESCO pro školní knihovny 2025(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-10-31) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Association of Library and Information Professionals of the Czech RepublicManifest IFLA-UNESCO o školních knihovnách (2025) představuje aktualizovanou verzi předchozího Manifestu IFLA/UNESCO o školních knihovnách: Školní knihovna ve výuce a učení pro všechny z roku 1999. Nové znění reflektuje zásadní proměny v oblasti technologií, společnosti a vzdělávání a slouží jako významný nástroj pro podporu kvalitního a inkluzivního vzdělávání prostřednictvím školních knihoven. Dokument vznikl ve spolupráci Mezinárodní federace knihovnických asociací a institucí (IFLA), Mezinárodní asociace školních knihovníků (IASL) a široké globální komunity odborníků. Společně jej v angličtině vydaly Stálý výbor Sekce školních knihoven IFLA a IASL dne 12. září 2021; schválen byl správní radou IFLA dne 17. dubna 2023 a následně potvrzen na 13. zasedání Mezivládní rady Programu UNESCO Informace pro všechny (IFAP) v dubnu 2025.Item type: Item , Libraries at the Frontline of Equitable AI Literacy(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, 2025-10-30) De Brasdefer, MariaThe Media and Information Literacy for Societal Resilience (MILSR) project strengthened the resilience of many European libraries and their communities by equipping them with skills, tools and resources to navigate modern information landscapes shaped by the existence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The project ran under the name ‘Supercharged by AI’ exhibition (and workshops), taking place across 10 European countries through 18 months between December 2023 and May 2025 and was led by a consortium of partners including: IFLA, the Tactical Technology Collective and Politecnico Di Milano’s Density Design Lab. It was funded by the European Media and Information Fund (EMIF) of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. While the project is framed around MIL, its core themes relate to the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and therefore to AI literacy. As AI is now deeply embedded in the creation and dissemination of information, digital threats are evolving, so understanding AI’s role in shaping new information environments is essential for any modern approach to media literacy.Item type: Item , IFLA-UNESCO Skolebibliotekmanifest 2025(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-10-29) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Norwegian Library AssociationIFLA-UNESCOs manifest for skolebibliotek 2025 er en oppdatert utgave av det tidligere IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto: The school library in teaching and learning for all (1999). Den nye utgaven gjenspeiler de mange endringene innen teknologi, samfunn og utdanning, og representerer et viktig og nyttig verktøy for å fremme skolebibliotekets rolle for kvalitet og inkluderende utdanning. Teksten er resultatet av et samarbeid mellom IFLA, IASL og det globale skolebibliotekmiljøet. Den ble utgitt på engelsk den 12. september 2021 av av IFLA School Libraries Section Standing Committee og IASL – International Association of School Librarianship – og ble godkjent av IFLAs styre den 17. april 2023.

Anexo 1 del Manifiesto de la IFLA sobre Internet(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-10-29) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); Subdirección Traducciones de la Biblioteca del Congreso de la Nación ArgentinaLas bibliotecas creen en un Internet centrado en las personas, como garantía de derechos y como motor del desarrollo. Defender los derechos fundamentales de acceso a la información y al conocimiento es el punto de partida. Para garantizar estos derechos y hacer realidad esta visión de Internet, debemos lograr una gobernanza adecuada. Esto requerirá la acción de los responsables de toma de decisiones y de las partes interesadas en todos los niveles, dentro y fuera de los gobiernos, incluidas las bibliotecas. El Manifiesto de Internet de la IFLA, ahora en su tercera edición totalmente actualizada, establece los principios clave que, según el sector bibliotecario, deben sustentar las decisiones que se tomen sobre Internet, además de definir la contribución propia de las bibliotecas.Item type: Item , Αφίσα του Μανιφέστου IFLA-UNESCO για τις Σχολικές Βιβλιοθήκες 2025(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-10-23) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA); UNESCO; Semertzaki, EvaΤο Μανιφέστο των IFLA-UNESCO για τη Σχολική Βιβλιοθήκη 2025 είναι μια ανανεωμένη έκδοση του προηγούμενου Μανιφέστου των IFLA/Unesco για τη Σχολική Βιβλιοθήκη: Η σχολική βιβλιοθήκη στη διδασκαλία και τη μάθηση για όλους (1999).

Nonetheless, references to knowledge and information remain scattered and partial, arguably not reflecting the full breadth of contributions that they make to effective policy-making for a better world. In order to assess how broadly and deeply Member States have nonetheless integrated knowledge and information into their practical efforts to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this report analyses the 36 Voluntary National Reviews prepared and presented at this year’s UN High-Level Political Forum.Item type: Item , SDG Voluntary National Reviews 2026: What they are and why should libraries engage(2025-10-17) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) are a way for UN Member States to report on national progress towards the SDGs. They should be prepared in consultation with all actors, including civil society (and so libraries). They are an opportunity for libraries to highlight their contribution to development and build new relationships and partnerships. This briefing summarises what VNRs do, and why is valuable for libraries to engage, with a focus on those VNRs being presented in 2026.
