Launch of the IFLA/FAIFE World Report 2003
The The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions World Report 2003 from the Committee on Free Access to Information and Freedom of Expression has responses from 88 different countries.
The World Report 2003 focuses on libraries and the Internet. It discusses the digital divide, filtering and blocking of information, user privacy, financial barriers, intellectual freedom, and codes of ethics. It also considers the adoption and implementation of the IFLA Internet Manifesto and the Glasgow Declaration on Libraries, Information Services and Intellectual Freedom, which express vital principles for a free Internet supported by strong library and information services.
