        Dear colleagues 

        IFLA is pleased to announce the launch of its brand new World Report
<http://ifla-world-report.org/> . For the first time, the World Report is being
made available online in a fully searchable database, complete with graphical
map interface. By clicking on a country's marker, you can either select "View
individual report" if you would like to view a single country's report or "Add
to report list" in order to view multiple countries in one report. The report
includes questions on:

        ·         Internet access in libraries

        ·         Copyright

        ·         Library initiatives for providing information to different
categories of citizens (such as senior citizens, women, the disabled and
visually impaired) 

        ·         The role of libraries in universal primary education and
environmental sustainability

        ·         And much more!

        The report has been developed by a team at the University of Pretoria
led by Professor Theo Bothma and contains details of the library environment in
122 countries. Users have the possibility to add comments to the report as a
whole or to individual country reports. The analysis of the data shows on one
hand that there are still many countries where violations of intellectual
freedom occur - such incidents were reported in 109 of the 122 countries- and on
the other that there are many positive aspects where individual libraries have
implemented innovative projects to improve access to information.    

        Full details of the report are available here
<http://2010.ifla.org/node/393> .
