Date: 20-21 August 2019 Location: Bibliotheca Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt The global voice represented at the IFLA Governing Board: A study of the last 19 years Sueli Mara S.P. Ferreira Senior Professor, School of Communication and Arts, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil - [email protected] Camila Gamba Librarian, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil - [email protected] Copyright © 2019 by Sueli Mara S.P. Ferreira & Camila Gamba. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: This work presents an analysis of the geographical representation of IFLA's Governing Board members over the past 19 years to identify regions and countries with and / or without the presence in IFLA's unit responsible for its governance, financial and professional management bodies. This study with IFLA's most important management unit can help to understand how the knowledge, culture, and experience of different regions of the world have been considered, valued and respected at IFLA. In order to map the participation of the regions, data from each IFLA Governing Board member during the period from 2001 to 2019 was collected from IFLA Annual Reports (available online) and analysed using the Excel software with the Pivot Table resource. All the members of GB and their nationalities were considered in 9 periods of two- year terms of management, which totalized 186 members from 36 countries.
