IFLA Trend Report Update 2017

IFLA is very happy to share an updated report, bringing in three further expert perspectives. Based on interventions at the 2017 IFLA President’s meeting, they pose three more questions: How might libraries incorporate revolutionary 3D printing techniques into their offer? How should libraries respond to the urgent need to provide education for all? How can libraries compete with the huge volumes of misinformation that the Internet makes it possible to create and share? The papers highlight threats, but also opportunities. Most importantly, they give food for thought. IFLA invites its members and the broader community to read the papers, reflect on them, and talk about what can – or needs to – be done. We look forward to hearing about where you get to!
