Abstract
The March 2024 issue of IFLA Journal features articles derived from conference papers presented at the BOBCATSSS 2023 conference through an editorial process that strove to mentor early career researchers through the writing and peer review process. The articles cover a wide range of topics related to libraries, information science, and accessibility. Several articles focus on making libraries more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with dementia and autism. Others explore the information behavior of specific groups, such as the Terena people of Brazil and religious leaders of the Santo Daime religion. There are also articles that discuss the role of libraries in serving the LGBTQ+ community and in promoting gender equality. Additionally, some articles examine the use of technology in libraries, such as the use of the Semantic Web and the integration of user participation in the organization of digital collections. Overall, the issue provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing libraries in the 21st century.
