FLA/FAIFE places great importance on its biennial World Report. This carefully researched survey provides the information professions with a regular insight into the state of intellectual freedom worldwide as it relates to libraries. It seems to be the nature of the sector that few out and out causes celebres emerge (although a few could be named). The world of journalism is a constant ferment of dangerous and threatening activity, and book publishing produces difficult cases all the time. Internet problems feature prominently in the press and on the Internet itself. Yet it might be possible to assume that libraries exist in an intellectual freedom safe haven. Unfortunately this is not the case. Libraries also share in the threats to privacy and the restrictions on access that trouble the world of knowledge and communication generally. Possibly because the threats creep up on libraries and are often experienced at second hand (for instance, through the suppression of a book or the blocking of a website), they are easier to ignore. The World Report is intended to open our eyes, alert us to dangers and enable us to fight emerging threats or support colleagues in other parts of the world.

This supplement to the consolidated edition of the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) provides full examples in sixteen languages of cataloguing, i.e., the languages used for notes and other non-transcribed parts of the description. The purpose of the supplement is to make it easy to understand the structure of the ISBD and to improve efficiency in the practical application of the consolidated edition of the ISBD. A preliminary edition of the supplement was published online in late 2009. With the revision of the consolidated ISBD in 2011, it was necessary to revise the Examples supplement. As a result, the new ISBD Examples Study Group prepared tentative text for content form and media type in Area 0 for the examples in the previous version of this document. In addition, some of the examples were put into paragraph format instead of tabular format to demonstrate the differences in display.

This publication replaces Guidelines for public libraries published in 1986. It has been drafted by a working group made up of members of the Committee of the IFLA Section of Public Libraries.

These Guidelines have been produced by a working group representing IFLA and the ICA that was commissioned by UNESCO to establish guidelines for digitization programmes for collections and holdings in the public domain. The contract specified that the guidelines should so far as possible be particularly applicable to institutions in the countries of the developing world. Members of the group were nominated by IFLA and ICA and their activities were coordinated by Sjoerd Koopman, Coordinator of Professional Activities for IFLA.

During the course of its preliminary research, the working group was struck with how the concept of a hospital library differs so in different parts of the world. It found, for example, that in some countries, the term 'hospital library' almost always signified a biomedical/health sciences library, while in others, it usually meant a library providing leisure reading materials for patients. In still other countries, 'hospital library' could signify either a biomedical/health sciences library or a patients' library, with the latter providing leisure reading collections or health information materials or both.

Visually impaired people have the same information needs as sighted people. Just as sighted people might read a newspaper, listen to a CD or download electronic information from the Internet, visually impaired people also want access to relevant information in their chosen accessible format.

“Libraries and the fi ght against HIV/AIDS, poverty and corruption” takes up some of the big issues and major challenges facing the world: the HIV/AIDS pandemic, poverty and the reduction of it, and corruption and its counterpart transparency. The articles explore the role and responsibilities of libraries and information services, and how they can contribute to this fi ght. In regard to all three themes, authors call our attention to the need to identify new responsibilities and values for the library profession.
