Digitising and Giving Access to Newspapers in Swedish and Finnish via Collaboration Initiatives and Licensing Agreements
No full textThe National Library of Finland (NLF) offers digitised Swedish-language newspapers published in Finland until December 1949 for open online use on https://digi.kansalliskirjasto.fi. Online use is based on negotiations and collaboration with the copyright organisation. These newspapers have valuable Nordic research potential for historians, genealogists, citizen scientists etc. They enrich the understanding of everyday life, culture, and society. The project was funded by foundations and conducted with the Society of Swedish Literature in Finland, resulting in 3.9 million digitised pages (1940 -2016). The earlier and later Swedish-language newspapers were digitised by the NLF: 2.1 million pages.
We describe examples of several cooperation initiatives and their results in this paper: with copyright organisation, publishers, and funding organisations to digitise more and widen access possibilities beyond the norm and legal deposit libraries.
Cooperation has enabled the NLF to give access to Swedish-language newspapers until the end of 2018 in digital form also in selected archives. The out-of-copyright Swedish-language newspapers are now available for data mining in the Finnish Research Infrastructure Dariah (dariah.fi) too. A separate researcher agreement allows research use of Swedish-language newspapers published until 2021, in selected Finnish universities.
Some Finnish-language newspapers have been digitised in NLF - publisher partnerships, e.g. the biggest title Helsingin Sanomat. Some Finnish-language newspapers have also been digitised in cooperation with a foundation, like newspapers from the Käkisalmi region in the former Finnish Karelia. Online access to these has been funded by the foundation until the 1960s. Another example of a multi-year partnership with a foundation is the digitisation of Finnish labour newspapers. Access to in-copyright papers is granted locally in labour archives.
In cooperation with publishers, funds, foundations and partners, the National Library of Finland can accelerate the digitisation of cultural heritage materials and bring it to the use of citizens and researchers
IFLA Strategy 2024-2029
No full textLa stratégie 2024-2029 de l'IFLA mènera la Fédération au-delà de son centenaire, et presque jusqu'à la fin de l'Agenda 2030 des Nations unies. Ces deux jalons encouragent à se concentrer sur le long terme, à être clair sur le monde que nous voulons voir et sur le rôle que les bibliothèques et l'IFLA peuvent jouer. La stratégie 2024-2029 de l'IFLA a été élaborée par les membres et les bénévoles au moyen d'enquêtes et de consultations visant à comprendre leur perception de l'IFLA aujourd'hui et leurs aspirations pour l'avenir. La stratégie 2024-2029 n'est pas prescriptive, mais définit plutôt un cadre plus large que tous les acteurs de notre secteur peuvent utiliser pour élaborer leurs propres plans. Elle offre une vision claire du monde que nous voulons, ainsi qu'une théorie du changement décrivant comment l'IFLA peut aider les bibliothèques à y parvenir. Elle servira de référence constante pour les plans de l'IFLA, de cadre pour mesurer les progrès accomplis et de modèle potentiel pour contribuer à l'élaboration de stratégies dans d'autres domaines. Elle est également conçue pour refléter la nature de l'IFLA en tant que fédération internationale, rassemblant, fournissant une plate-forme et produisant des résultats pour des personnes issues de cultures, de communautés linguistiques, de géographies et d'expériences diverses

Why Public Access Matters
No full textLibraries 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
