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

LRMoo: object-oriented definition and mapping from the IFLA Library Reference Model
No full textLRMoo is a conceptual model that expresses the IFLA Library Reference Model (IFLA LRM) in an object-oriented modeling framework. Developed through joint work in the library and museum communities, it is compatible with and an extension of the museum community model, the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM). LRMoo version 1.0 is aligned with CIDOC CRM version 7.1.3. LRMoo is a high-level, compact model, with a minimum of hierarchy between classes. LRMoo is tightly aligned with IFLA LRM and reflects its decisions about scope and granularity. LRMoo supersedes FRBRoo version 2.4 (2016), the object-oriented model that was aligned with the superseded FR models: FRBR, FRAD, and FRSAD. Transition information from FRBRoo to LRMoo is included

Global action, global access? The IGO Licensing Landscape
No full textThe Intergovernmental Organisation (IGO) space continues to be characterised by a diversity of approaches to licensing of the materials they publish, including between different materials from the same organisation. Despite the limits this places on possibilities to reuse and apply insights from their publications, many IGOs continue to use restrictive terms. Nonetheless, there are possibilities to strengthen the uptake of standardised open licences (such as Creative Commons). A more harmonised approach to licensing, as well as investment in repositories and clearer information would also support reuse of UN work. This would be in line with the UN 2.0 agenda
