	IFLA Officers Handbook - continued
		IFLA is a multilingual organization, therefore it is important that IFLA Conference papers are available in as many of the IFLA working languages (English, French, German, Russian and Spanish) as possible.
		IFLA Adopted resolutions on permanent paper in 1898 and 1991 and subsequently, through the efforts of its Section on Preservation and Conservation and the PAC Core Programme, contributed to the development of the UNESCO Resolution on Permanent Paper which was adopted in November 1997.
		IFLA is overseen by an Executive Board, which has the full powers of administration and management, in so far as these do not lie with the Council, and which are subject to the prerogatives of the Council.

	65th Annual IFLA Conference [Conference Report]
		This was my second IFLA conference, and, just as I remembered from nearly a decade earlier, the experience was one of enormous hospitality from the host country and great emphasis on global issues.
		IFLA program sessions were plentiful and I attended some wonderful sessions on library instruction, art libraries, library automation and was always trying to decide when I would do my sightseeing.
		IFLA special events programming did not disappoint as post-conference trips to the original royal palace at Ayutthaya and my taking an optional trip to Chiang Mai in the north, added a dimension to my impression of Thailand.

		And IFLA' s support of library development in less developed countries is, in fact, a contribution to their social, cultural and economic progress.
		At the same time, the IFLA organization could probably lower the practical barriers to participation by a fuller use of web based communication, by lower membership fees for small libraries and by a greater emphasis on regional meetings.
		At the IFLA meeting in Oslo, eighty percent of the participants (registered by July 25) come from the "high participation group", or the countries in Europe, North America and Oceania.

	IFLA Statement on Libraries and Intellectual Freedom
		IFLA declares that human beings have a fundamental right to access to expressions of knowledge, creative thought and intellectual activity, and to express their views publicly.
		IFLA believes that the right to know and freedom of expression are two aspects of the same principle.
		IFLA therefore calls upon libraries and library staff to adhere to the principles of intellectual freedom, uninhibited access to information and freedom of expression and to recognise the privacy of library user.

		The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) held its 69th IFLA General Conference and Council in Berlin, Germany, from August 1 to 9, 2003.
		Berlin was certainly a great venue for the 2003 IFLA meeting, which this year was renamed "World Library and Information Congress," a title that is catchier and more likely to attract potential participants across the library planet.
		The comment by IFLA officials was that Sections could do more work during the year, such as projects and satellite workshops, to make themselves more visible in the recently expanded number of Sections.

		The IFLA owes its efficiency and effectiveness to founder Eliezer Jaffe, the Cleveland native who has become, over his 45-year career, one of Israel's foremost experts in social work and philanthropy.
		Clients of the IFLA, who often leave their application meetings with a check in hand, are full of praise for the IFLA's staff, which consists of seven paid members and 20 volunteers.
		She notes that the IFLA works "from small little offices to keep overhead low, so that the money goes to the people who need it." Solvey was particularly touched that IFLA staff adapted their procedures to minimize Solvey's trips from her home in Karmiel to the IFLA office in Jerusalem.

		IFLA’s committees are opening up to young librarians who have worked hard and demonstrated expertise in their specific areas. It is readily obvious that there’s a truly worldwide interest in new librarians and their work within professional organizations.

		The genesis for the IFLA study evolved from a series of recommendations that grew out of the deliberations of an influential seminar on bibliographic control held in August 1990 in Stockholm, Sweden.
		We are pleased to report that IFLA has in fact decided to mount a study in the area of authority control, and this will be described in greater detail shortly.
		IFLA soon discovered, however, that it would be too costly and complex to implement such a system with the resources and technology then available.

	ALA \| ALA Council adopts report on Cuba at Midwinter Meeting in San Diego
		ALA and IFLA members and staff confirmed in discussions with the Cuban dissidents who opened private libraries, that these individuals did not consider themselves librarians, but described themselves as "political dissidents." Both the IFLA and ALA reports reiterated that individuals in Cuba should be able to collect and have access to information regardless of frontiers.
		ALA supports IFLA in its call for the elimination of the U.S. embargo that restricts access to information in Cuba and for lifting travel restrictions that limit professional exchanges. ALA also supports IFLA's call for the U.S. government to share information widely in Cuba.
		ALA joins IFLA in its deep concern over the arrest and long prison terms of political dissidents in Cuba in spring 2003 and urges the Cuban Government to respect, defend and promote the basic human rights defined in Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

		This is missing in the IFLA model, but is needed to recognize the transferability of ownership (of both rights and objects) and to acknowledge the multiplicity of roles that Agents play with respect to information resources.
		With these extensions of the IFLA model, we feel that we have a strong basis on which to construct any divergent, discipline- or domain-specific, metadata sets including extensions to DC and INDECS.
		As recognized in the IFLA model, the concept of "Form" is problematic unless we are careful about whether we are speaking of the form of the "Work", the "Expression", the "Manifestation"/"Item".
