ABOUT IFLA Women

The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is the leading international body representing the interests of library and information services and their users. It is the global voice of the library and information profession. Now it has 1600 Members in approximately 150 countries around the world. The Royal Library, the national library of the Netherlands, in The Hague, generously provides the facilities for our headquarters. The Discussion Group focuses on women as users of library and information services, as workers in the library field, and as providers of information. The overarching strategic framework is formed by the UN treaties, programs and initiatives related to women and information to create a fruitful link between IFLA and relevant international organizations.
