Licensing of scientific audiovisual media in Germany

TIB has set up a competence center for non-textual materials with the goal to collect, archive and present scientific audiovisual media among other non-textual material to its users via its portals. The acquisition of the necessary rights for the audiovisual media which enter into TIB´s collection profile is complex. The market for scientific information is international and does not end at national borders. Thus the scientific audiovisual media which TIB licenses are produced in Germany but also in other countries. Challenges are encountered regarding the German national law and, when collaborating with licensors from other countries, with other national laws. This paper aims at describing the legal framework within which TIB has to build up services and the challenges which TIB encounters when licensing electronic audiovisual media in Germany with a special focus on currently valid and new developments in European and German legal deposit and copyright law

Acesso e oportunidade para todos: Como as bibliotecas contribuem para a agenda de 2030 das Nações Unidas

Em setembro de 2015, os Estados membros das Nações Unidas adotaram o documento: “transformar nosso mundo: a Agenda 2030 para o desenvolvimento sustentável”. A nova agenda de 2030 da ONU é um marco inclusivo, integrada por 17 objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável que englobam o desenvolvimento econômico, ambiental e social. Através do alcance dos objetivos dessa agenda nada será relegado. As bibliotecas são instituições fundamentais para se alcançar esses objetivos. O acesso público à informação permite que as pessoas tomem decisões conscientes que podem melhorar suas vidas. As comunidades que têm acesso à informação relevante e no tempo certo estão melhor posicionadas para erradicar a pobreza e a desigualdade, melhorar a agricultura, proporcionar educação de qualidade e promover a saúde, a cultura a pesquisa e a inovação. O acesso à informação foi reconhecido no Objetivo 16 dos ODS: Promover sociedades pacíficas e inclusivas para o desenvolvimento sustentável, facilitar o acesso à justiça para todos e criar instituições eficazes, responsáveis e inclusivas em todos os níveis

How To Spot Fake News

Critical thinking is a key skill in media and information literacy, and the mission of libraries is to educate and advocate its importance. Discussions about fake news has led to a new focus on media literacy more broadly, and the role of libraries and other education institutions in providing this. When Oxford Dictionaries announced post-truth was Word of the Year 2016, we as librarians realise action is needed to educate and advocate for critical thinking – a crucial skill when navigating the information society. IFLA has made this infographic with eight simple steps (based on FactCheck.org’s 2016 article How to Spot Fake News) to discover the verifiability of a given news-piece in front of you. Download, print, translate, and share – at home, at your library, in your local community, and on social media networks. The more we crowdsource our wisdom, the wiser the world becomes

Why Public Access Matters

Libraries were early adopters of the internet, seeing its potential to connect people to ever more information. While numbers of people with home connections has increased, the value and importance of the possibility to connect in or via a library has remained. For IFLA, public access in libraries is not only a stepping-stone to 'private' access, but also a complement, helping to address the range of challenges people face in becoming confident and effective internet users. IFLA's new infographic sets out ten reasons why public access matters

IFLA Strategy 2019 - 2024

This document represents a milestone in IFLA’s journey from Vision to Strategy to Action. It is the result of a uniquely inclusive process – the IFLA Global Vision – launched in March 2017. By engaging tens of thousands of library and information workers from over 190 countries in a conversation about the strengths and opportunities of the library field, the Vision has provided the energy, and represented the guiding star for this Strategy. On this basis, IFLA’s Professional Units and Governing Board, working with the Headquarters Team, have developed this document, drawing also on an assessment of IFLA’s existing strengths, and its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. It was approved by the IFLA Governing Board on 12 April 2019
