Abstract
This issue of the IFLA Journal examines global developments in library and information services, with emphasis on equity, access, and professional adaptation. Articles address digital transformation, indigenous knowledge systems, user satisfaction, and library services in multilingual and developing contexts. Case studies from South Africa, Turkey, Sri Lanka, Ghana, and China illustrate how local libraries confront challenges through innovation and training. The issue explores how technology, user-centered approaches, and national policy affect service delivery and professional development. Authors discuss the changing role of libraries amid institutional, social, and technological shifts. Collectively, these contributions highlight libraries’ efforts to remain inclusive, culturally relevant, and effective in a rapidly evolving global information landscape.
