WHAT IS THE IFLA TREND REPORT?


In the global information environment, time moves quickly and there's an
abundance of commentators trying to keep up. With each new technological
development, a new report emerges assessing its impact on different sectors of
society. The IFLA Trend Report takes a broader approach and identifies five high
level trends shaping the information society, spanning access to education,
privacy, civic engagement and transformation. Its findings reflect a year’s
consultation with a range of experts and stakeholders from different disciplines
to map broader societal changes occurring, or likely to occur in the information
environment.

The IFLA Trend Report is more than a single document – it is a selection of
resources to help you understand where libraries fit into a changing society.
