We are the global voice and the largest brain trust of the library and information profession. We have an active network of more than 1,400 Members – leading associations and institutions from the library field – in over 140 countries around the world, 850 active volunteers, and well-established relations with the UN and other international organisations. Together with our Members, we work to set the professional agenda and develop standards for providing high-quality library services, to improve equitable and meaningful access to information, knowledge and cultural heritage resources, and to place this work at the heart of policy, from the local to the global level. We do this by creating strategic alliances; enhancing professional education; developing professional standards; disseminating best practices; advancing relevant scientific and professional knowledge; and undertaking and supporting advocacy for libraries at all levels. We are committed to enabling all members of the Federation to engage in, and benefit from, our activities without discrimination. We embrace the principles of freedom of access to information, ideas and works of imagination and freedom of expression embodied in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We hold that people, communities and organisations need universal and equitable access for their social, educational, cultural, democratic and economic well-being, and to achieve sustainable development. The National Library of the Netherlands, located in the Hague, generously hosts our headquarters. To advance the interests of our members, we: • further accessibility, protection, and preservation of documentary cultural heritage; • support a library and information profession which anticipates, responds, and continuously innovates to address the needs of communities worldwide; • drive high standards in library and information services and professional practices; • encourage widespread understanding of the value and importance of quality library and information services in the public, private and voluntary sectors; • promote libraries as vital institutions that enhance people’s lives and contributes to sustainable development through equitable access to information and knowledge; • advocate for the best policies for libraries at all levels, through collaboration between headquarters, volunteers and members. 5 IFLA World Library and Information Congress 2018 24—30 August 2018 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Welcome from the IFLA President Dear Colleagues, Some years ago, a Catalan librarian asked me why I loved attending the IFLA Conference every year. In my opinion, IFLA is an exceptional organization, distinctive in our mission of uniting the library field to be able to act upon librarians’ needs to develop professionally and people’s needs to access information. We help information professionals build up the competencies they need to make a positive impact on the information environment and redefine our values. So this was my answer: the IFLA Congress is the annual meal I need to strengthen my belonging to the biggest library community in the world. These conferences are key to my lifelong learning. They provide me with the knowledge, guidance and inspiration I require to be an updated librarian who really contributes to people’s sustainable development. Today, as the IFLA President, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 84th IFLA General Conference and Assembly. I would like to thank you in advance for your contribution. I would also like to thank the Malaysian National Committee for the theme Transforming Libraries, Transforming Societies. It is very well connected with our current IFLA goals and work. As you may already know, IFLA is going through a profound transformation and is facilitating a global conversation in order to define a global vision for libraries which clearly spells out the future role and relevance of libraries. IFLA is all of us. IFLA needs to hear all of our voices. We all need to bring in our ideas to create a global library Ideas Store which can inform the shaping of our future. I am looking forward to strengthening our collaborative work for a strong united library field. Our current global conversation involves the IFLA Professional Units - the biggest pool of library experts in the world. A large number of professionals from the seven continents across all types of libraries are having a dialogue through a very well-structured methodology, which allows us to capture the most essential ideas to seize opportunities and face global challenges. I am very proud and honored to lead IFLA together with the IFLA Secretary General, the President- elect and the members of IFLA Governing Board at this exceptional time when IFLA is developing its new strategy. I am counting on all of you more than ever. 6 IFLA World Library and Information Congress 2018 24—30 August 2018 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Welcome from the IFLA President IFLA is also about meeting colleagues and making friends, while we enjoy the hospitality and beauty of our congress city.
