    Communication activities

    IFLA represents the voice of the international library community in copyright and intellectual property concerns, including issues related to disputed claims of ownership of library materials; economic and trade barriers to the acquisition and use of library resources and effective library services; subscription and license agreements; and a wide range of other legal matters of international significance to libraries and librarianship

    IFLA raises awareness of the essential correlation between the library concept and the values of intellectual freedom. We collect and disseminate documentation and aim to stimulate a dialog both within and outside the library world. We work to protect intellectual freedom and freedom of expression by publishing reports, participating in national and international conferences and organizing workshops; monitoring the state of intellectual freedom within the library community world-wide and publishing newsletters and online news; responding to violations of free access to information and freedom of expression and making press releases.

    We have Formal Associate Relations with UNESCO, observer status with the United Nations, associate status with the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) and observer status with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In 1999, we established observer status with the World Trade Organization (WTO).

    We hold the World Library and Information Congress: IFLA General Conference and Assembly in August or early September in a different city each year. More than three thousand delegates meet to exchange experience, debate professional issues, see the latest products of the information industry, conduct the business of IFLA and experience something of the culture of the host country.

    A range of professional meetings, seminars and workshops are held around the world by our professional groups and Strategic Programmes.
