The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions
(IFLA) is the leading international body representing the interests of
library and information services and their users.The theme chosen for the World Library and Information Congress in Gothenburg energizes and supports the Presidential Theme of IFLA President, Ellen Tise: Libraries driving access to knowledge.
The 2010 theme is therefore centered around the following:
- Free access to knowledge, as important as freedom of speech
- Accessible for all, including the visually impaired and others with reading difficulties
- Open and inclusive, no matter who you are or where you come from
- Public domain, a place on the net or in a physical space, where people contribute and socially share content produced and owned as a public service
- Open for ideas with user driven innovation, where the user might as well be the producer
- Open access publishing for further knowledge
building and a better balance between copyright laws and freedom of
information
Why is this so essential? Access to knowledge opens the world of imagination and creativity, thus progress for one individual becomes progress for the society.
