During the World Library and Information Congress in Berlin a new alliance between IFLA and national libraries was established to continue and expand the coordination work formerly done by the IFLA UBCIM and UDT Core Programme Offices. The following paper gives a short overview about ICABS, its organization and its work as the umbrella for multifaceted activities in the area of bibliographical standards.

The paper is a presentation of the national programme on competence development - an extraordinary effort undertaken in the wake of the new Danish Act on library services in 2001-2002. The programme involved a major push to integrate learning activities in the daily work in the organization, to strengthen networking and project work on several levels and the nourishing of new leadership in the public libraries.

Denmark, Norway and Sweden form the region of Scandinavia, but they are also a part of the Nordic region, ‘Norden’, which consists of five countries and three autonomous areas. The Nordic countries established the Nordic Council, an organized cooperation on the parliamentary level, in 1952. Under the umbrella of ‘Norden’ there are a great number of institutions, committees and institutional bodies, many of them in the cultural field. The Nordic Literature and Library Committee (NORDBOK) supports various projects and initiatives aimed at promoting Nordic literature and gives translation grants for a considerable number of books each year. The library aspect of the committee’s work is directed towards the public library sector. At the top of the Nordic agenda in 2005 is the question of language. Eight languages are spoken in the region, but there is a Nordic linguistic community based on the three Scandinavian languages. The Nordic linguistic community provides a foundation for cultural cooperation and a necessary platform for collaboration in many other fields.

The article presents organized efforts at cooperation between Nordic library and information science education on PhD level. A short description of the premises for such cooperation is presented. The two most important programmes, called NordIS-Net and Norslis, are presented. In order to analyse the effect of the programmes a small bibliometric study has been performed, which is described in the article. Some conclusions about Nordic cooperation are drawn.

This article is based on qualitative intervirews with members of the Norwegian Parliament and central decision makers on how they perceive and evaluate the role of public libraries. Public libraries are viewed very positively among the politicians. They tend, however, to restrict the role of libraries to promoting the literary canon and the cultural heritage through book lending and to support education at all levels. The library’s role in promoting democracy and social equality is not very central in the politicians’ perception. Surprisjngly enough, neither is the Archives, Libraries and Museums authority perspective, only a short period after Parliament decided to reorganize the library sector according to this perspective. IFLA is invisible to the members of Parliament shortly before the IFLA-conference is going to take place in Oslo, heavily supported by public funds.

The aim of the Swedish Quality Handbook Project is to help Swedish libraries in all parts of the public sector to start conducting systematic quality management, by utilizing performance indicators. The project is intended to serve as a springboard for libraries interested in engaging in quality development. The cooperation is based on the collection of data for the twelve indicators over a period of three years and a comparison of the results over time and with those of other libraries. The most important outcome from the project is that it has led 50 Swedish libraries to start performing systematic quality management. The project is run by The Special Interest Group for Quality Management and Statistics within the Swedish Library Association, which plays an active role in encouraging Swedish libraries to engage in quality development and evaluation.

The paper looks critically at the notion of ‘digital literacy’. Literacy is not a static notion. Literacy requirements change across time and places. Nowadays ICTs have introduced radical changes in the way of producing and disseminating texts. However, they did not change the conceptual nature of the literacy process. The relationship between elementary school and the introduction of new technologies is explored, leading to the conclusion that it is too risky to bent on computers only to improve literacy results. Even in the most developed countries they are underused. Suggestion is made on the particular role that librarians can play to make a more effective use of ICTs in educational contexts, as librarians have already adopted these technologies as a common and effective tool while teachers are reluctant to use them.

Focusing on the situation in Asia and Oceania, this paper looks at the way in which NGOs utilize information, and to some extent ICTs, for sustainable capacity building. It is hypothesized that communication strategies that take into account the social nature of access, recognize the interaction between face-to-face and online communications, and combine Internet use with a broad range of other new and old media provide the best opportunities for sustainable development initiatives through the use of ICT. This issue is addressed through a series of questions: What are the barriers to ICT adoption, and how might its potential be realized? What is an appropriate mix of ICT-based information dissemination and traditional print-based information? How do different cultures react when information is accessed remotely rather than face-to-face? How well do NGOs collaborate with one another in sharing development-related information? What are some of the facilitators and barriers to more effective collaboration?

For people with print disabilities, copyright protection poses an access barrier. Although they have traditionally used Braille and audio materials to satisfy their reading needs, one should not, when considering access issues, confine the analysis to those media only. In a rapidly changing technological environment, accommodations are needed that will not become obsolete due to technological change that opens up new access opportunities. In a number of countries the problems posed by copyright protection as access barriers have received legislative attention in the form of attempts to remove them. Those attempts have not always given rise to perfect solutions. This paper is concerned with access barriers to print posed by copyright protection, by successes as well as unfortunate by-products of previous attempts to deal with those barriers, by technological developments that affect copyright protection, and it tries to isolate lessons learnt so far.
