Respondents highlight in particular the impact of technological change on our work to build capacity across the field, both in terms of evolutions in needs, and the means by which we can meet them. Nonetheless, the interactions seen as most significant vary between regions, and each area of IFLA’s work is affected by a different combination of Trends. This report, crucially, offers a starting point for further thinking about what factors may shape the future of international librarianship – a topic that will be very much in focus as IFLA approaches its centenary.Item type: Item , IFLA Asia-Oceania Regional Division Committee | Booklet(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2025-11-27) International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)This booklet presents the work, mission, and initiatives of IFLA’s Asia-Oceania Regional Division Committee.

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.

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.
