Barbara Lison, IFLA President
IFLA is an independent, international, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization. Acting as the “Global Voice of Libraries”, IFLA puts libraries on the global stage and supports their work by promoting high standards of provision and delivery of library and information services and by representing the interests of IFLA’s members throughout the world.
In recent years, achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has become one of the most important issues, and libraries should be part of this global development. In her talk, Lison will talk about IFLA’s activities to support the global library field with special focus on the SDGs. She will discuss the IFLA strategy, give examples of initiatives taken by libraries in some countries, and talk about international cooperation from the perspective of achieving the SDGs.
