The idea is to give a sense of the insights that this can give us, and that can potentially stimulate discussions about the diversity that exists in library fields around the world. This can feed into discussions both around priorities for different parts of the world, as well as what types of support and coordination may be useful.enhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Subject::Library Map of the WorldSubject::Library statisticsSubject::StatisticsRegional Library Fields by the Data – an Overview (2023)ReportsInternational Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)
