Management of Information Use in Libraries: Leveraging the Role of Media
No full textThe role of media in democracies stands as a cornerstone in classical reflections on the significance of a sector that has consistently shaped public opinion within democratic states. The right to information has, in many ways, been materialized largely due to the existence of journalism and mass media. However, the contemporary landscape demands a didactic approach to the sources of information citizens consult, as many accessible sources through networks (Internet and social media) are not journalistic in nature. Thus, the focus shifts towards the right to "accurate information."
Within a parliamentary library, managing and providing access to news information must always consider that users embody the diversity of ideologies within a nation. Curating a list of news requires clear criteria regarding the sources to be used, with items explicitly stating the newspaper of origin as a sine qua non condition.
In the Senate Library, the use of journalistic information is structured around several key aspects:
• Facilitating parliamentary access to primary sources: Parliamentarians have access to a comprehensive collection of daily national, foreign, and local newspapers within the library premises, encompassing approximately 35 titles.
• Meeting information needs through historical newspaper searches: The library subscribes to the DJX database, enabling librarians to conduct retrospective searches for parliamentary inquiries.
• Custodial and preservation efforts: The library diligently preserves all copies of two national newspapers dating back to the inception of the democratic period in 1978. These preserved pages can be reproduced for users and showcased in Senate bibliographic exhibitions.
• Historical complement: By preserving select titles of political newspapers and magazines from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, the library enriches its bibliographic exhibitions, providing insights into the historical backdrop of political discourse.
This paper delves into the multifaceted approach taken by the Senate Library in managing and utilizing journalistic information, highlighting its crucial role in serving the informational needs of parliamentarians and preserving the historical narrative for future generations

IFLA and Charity Status - a Briefing
No full textAt its meeting on 15-17 April 2024, the IFLA Governing Board agreed to propose, at our upcoming General Assembly on 20 June 2024, the necessary changes to our Statutes to enable IFLA to formally apply for ANBI status under Dutch law. Acquiring ANBI status would mean that IFLA is more explicitly focused on public benefit and is the Dutch equivalent of a charity.
This briefing provides background to this process, ahead of the publication of the formal convening notice with the text of the amendments. In addition to this briefing and information shared with the convening notice, we will also hold online meetings to hear questions and provide any further details that our members need in deciding how to vote

Copyright Matters for School Libraries
No full textकॉपीराइट लेखकों और रचनाकारों को अपने कार्यों का दोहन करने के लिए विशेष 'आर्थिक' अधिकार देता है, उदाहरण के लिए उन्हें बेचने या प्रतिलिपि बनाने के साथ-साथ नैतिक अधिकार, जैसे कि लेखक के रूप में नामित किया जाना, या परिवर्तनों पर आपत्ति करना। अधिकांश देशों में, इन अधिकारों को प्रकाशकों या अन्य अधिकार प्रबंधकों को देना संभव है। फिर भी कॉपीराइट न तो शाश्वत है और न ही सार्वभौमिक। यह एक अस्थायी अधिकार है, जो आमतौर पर लेखक के जीवन और उसके बाद कई वर्षों तक रहता है। कॉपीराइट में कानूनी लचीलेपन भी हैं, जिन्हें सीमाओं और अपवादों के रूप में जाना जाता है, जिनका उद्देश्य कार्यों तक पहुंच और उपयोग को बढ़ावा देना है
