From visual abstracts that make research more accessible, to AI integration in university libraries, student-led book reviews, and digital literacy training for young learners, these contributions demonstrate the evolving and hands-on nature of information literacy education today. Part Two – People and Community shifts focus to the human dimension of our work. Here, we read about digital community enrichment in Trinidad, professional networking and conference experiences in India, an online media literacy resource developed by the State Library of Queensland, and China’s new national regulation to promote public reading. These stories remind us that information literacy is deeply embedded in social, political, and civic life. Part Three – New Information Literacy Perspectives offers reflective and scholarly contributions. Topics include software copyright compliance training as a dimension of IL, the launch of the landmark Information Literacy Handbook: Charting the Discipline, and a thoughtful exploration of seven different perspectives on information literacy itself. These pieces invite us to think critically about what IL is, how it has evolved, and where it is heading. Taken together, these twelve articles reveal a field that is dynamic, collaborative, and deeply committed to equity, access, and lifelong learning. Whether through visual design, AI literacy, youth mentorship, or national policy, the contributors to this newsletter are actively shaping the future of information literacy.Item type: Item , Newsletter: National Libraries Section, Second Quarter (Q2) 2026(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2026-06-09) IFLA National Libraries Standing Committee; IFLAThis issue provides an overview of recent milestones and events across national libraries worldwide during the second quarter of 2026.
