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.
