Abstract
"The present brochure deals with a concerted effort to mobilize all available professional and financial resources to improve the situation of librarianship and of the users of libraries in the parts of the world where librarianship is still emerging. It is IFLA's firm belief that there exists in fact only one world of librarianship, and that any action taken must be directed to ensure that the yawning gap between the provision of library services in the various parts of the world is narrowed, and - eventually - even closed." [Margreet Wijnstroom, from the Introduction]
