The IFLA Repository was established to collect and disseminate works by the global IFLA community. [source: ifla-advocacy] Here you can explore IFLA Standards, key publications, core documents and much more. [source: ifla-advocacy] Items in the repository are integrated with our main website, IFLA.org, as “Resources” and displayed in a separate Resources page of the website, as well as in relevant unit or topic pages.

The repository contains a variety of item types, including minutes of meetings from IFLA committees and sections. [source: ifla-advocacy] For example, the Advisory Committee on Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE) held its 2nd term meeting online via Zoom on 5 December 2025, focusing on updates from IFLA, the organisation of FAIFE’s work during the term 2025-2027, and planning ahead for WLIC 2026.

The repository also includes newsletters, such as the Information Literacy Section Summer 2026 newsletter, which is organised into three thematic parts. [source: ifla-advocacy] Part One – Information Literacy Initiatives showcases creative programmes from Indonesia, Pakistan, Canada, South Africa, and beyond, including visual abstracts, AI integration in university libraries, student-led book reviews, and digital literacy training for young learners. [source: ifla-advocacy] Part Two – People and Community shifts focus to the human dimension, covering digital community enrichment in Trinidad, professional networking in India, an online media literacy resource from the State Library of Queensland, and China’s new national regulation to promote public reading. [source: ifla-advocacy] Part Three – New Information Literacy Perspectives offers reflective and scholarly contributions on topics such as software copyright compliance training, the launch of the Information Literacy Handbook, and seven different perspectives on information literacy itself.

These twelve articles reveal a field that is dynamic, collaborative, and deeply committed to equity, access, and lifelong learning. [source: ifla-advocacy] Whether through visual design, AI literacy, youth mentorship, or national policy, the contributors to this newsletter are actively shaping the future of information literacy.
