Abstract

The October 2026 edition of IFLA Journal includes 19 articles focused on libraries’ responses to technological change, social challenges, and evolving community needs. Contributions include an essay that documents the impact of war on Ukrainian public librarians plus original research on artificial intelligence applications and equitable access through disability inclusion. Other articles address library anxiety, predatory publishing, and private reading spaces. Together, these contributions highlight opportunities and challenges in strengthening inclusive, ethical, and responsive library services across diverse contexts.
