The Institute for the Study of Scientific Research and Documentation (ISRDS) was located in Rome. Among the many achievements of the ISRDS between 1968 and the beginning of the new century, this article focuses particularly on the Archivio Collettivo Nazionale dei Periodici (National Collective Archive of Periodicals), an online public access catalogue specifically devoted to periodicals. Now that its founder and director, Paolo Bisogno, has passed away and the ISRDS no longer exists, and even the headquarters have been converted to commercial and private use, it is time to ask what should be done, what actions should be taken and what research should be continued in order to safeguard an important part of European documentation history.
科学研究和文献研究所（ISRDS）位于罗马。在 ISRDS 于 1968 年至新世纪初取得的众多成就中，本文特别关注 Archivio Collettivo Nazionale dei Periodici（国家期刊集体档案），这是一个专门用于期刊的在线公共访问目录。现在，该档案馆的创始人和馆长保罗-比索戈诺（Paolo Bisogno）已经去世，ISRDS 也已不复存在，甚至其总部也已转为商业和私人用途，现在是时候提出这样的问题了：为了保护欧洲文献史的重要组成部分，应该做些什么、采取什么行动、继续开展什么研究。

South Korea’s official development assistance activities emphasize the significant role of education, with increasing attention towards the potential of libraries. Media and information literacy has become imperative for leading a productive life, highlighting the crucial role of libraries in enhancing media and information literacy competencies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. However, limited research exists on this topic. This study explores how libraries could contribute to improving the media and information literacy competencies of people in low- and middle-income countries, drawing from interviews mainly with South Korean volunteer librarians with experience in low- and middle-income countries using the Delphi method. The challenges in supporting media and information literacy capacity-building in libraries in low- and middle-income countries include a shortage of skilled personnel, limited resources, inadequate understanding of public development assistance and global citizenship, and insufficient publicity. The survey participants emphasized the need for specific qualifications for librarians to effectively contribute to media and information literacy education. They recommended continuous group-based training, incorporating field education and online courses to build media and information literacy competencies.

This article examines how IFLA promotes the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by building strong librarianship and fostering a literate, informed and engaged society. Data was collected through various search strategies from the IFLA website and Google Scholar, and organized meaningfully to highlight the contributions of various IFLA sections towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. IFLA’s various sections and key projects – such as the Green Library Award, toolkits, Library Map of the World and Sustainable Development Goal stories – were studied to analyse IFLA’s role in mobilizing libraries towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. IFLA should work internationally to transform libraries to benefit the library profession, community and environment. The findings suggest that library and information science professionals should be aware of the activities undertaken and visualized through IFLA’s intention to mobilize libraries and raise awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals in the community at large.

Effective collaboration between library and information science academics and practitioners is vital for the professional growth and success of individuals working in the field. It facilitates the exchange of knowledge, skills and innovative practices, which, in turn, enhance the quality of library services. It allows for the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical experience, resulting in more effective and efficient library operations. However, the lack of studies on fostering collaboration between library and information science academics and practitioners in Bangladesh presents a notable research gap. Addressing this gap is critical as it directly impacts the career success of library and information science professionals and the development of library services, particularly in a rapidly developing nation like Bangladesh. This study utilized a qualitative approach to gather data through semi-structured, unstructured, and focus group interviews with renowned Bangladeshi academics and experienced library practitioners. The research has broader implications for the global library and information science community, adding a valuable perspective from a developing nation. The results highlight the significance of mindset and attitude in influencing collaborative efforts, urging academics and practitioners to adopt an open-minded approach without ego-related conflicts. The study identifies the strengths, weaknesses, barriers and opportunities in relation to effective collaboration between library and information science academicians and practitioners. Additionally, the research proposes viable solutions and outlines the potential for academic and professional success through collaboration.

In 2023, academics from the School of Information and Communication Studies at Charles Sturt University completed a two-stage project documenting the published output related to Australian and New Zealand school libraries and teacher librarianship from 1900 to the present. The resultant output of the project was the Knowledge Bank of Australian and New Zealand School Libraries. This article discusses a preliminary analysis of the Australian corpus recorded in the Knowledge Bank and what the evidence provided in the corpus can tell us about the history, development and intellectual output associated with teacher librarianship and school libraries in Australia over time. This insight provides opportunities for further research and a broader understanding of the contribution of this sector to both education and librarianship internationally.

This study explores student satisfaction with artificial intelligence chatbots in Ethiopian academia, examining their usage patterns, satisfaction levels, benefits, concerns and recommendations for improvement. A quantitative survey was conducted among 367 Ethiopian students from various educational levels and regions. The survey collected data on artificial intelligence chatbot usage, satisfaction, benefits, concerns and improvement recommendations. The findings reveal that artificial intelligence chatbots are frequently used for academic purposes, with students primarily using them for research assistance, assignment help and exam preparation. The students reported moderate to high satisfaction with chatbots, particularly regarding responsiveness, accuracy and adaptability. The benefits included time-saving, improved academic performance and 24/7 access to information. Concerns focused on access to technology, privacy and data security. The students also provided recommendations for enhancing chatbots, such as localisation, cultural sensitivity, affordability and security.

This article focuses on the UNESCO-sponsored 1971 Intergovernmental Conference for the Establishment of a World Science Information System (UNISIST) and the 1974 Intergovernmental Conference on the Planning of National Documentation, Library and Archive Infrastructures (NATIS) and the events, often themselves international and intergovernmental conferences, leading to them in association with IFLA (especially its Universal Bibliographic Control program), the International Federation for Documentation and International Council of Scientific Unions, and its Abstracting Board. It notes the disappearance of these programs and their approach to a coherent, cooperative global information system. It argues that this was a result of geopolitical developments, organizational changes within UNESCO and its related organizations, and the rapid evolution of huge competitive commercial enterprises. These have been responsible for both developing and exploiting the transformative digital technologies that are now associated with owning increasingly complex information systems and services, and selling access to them in what has become a global, borderless marketplace for information as a commodity.

The main agenda of this study is to explore the various programmes and strategies of American Corners in Mindanao to amplify interreligious dialogue and peacebuilding within their communities. The researchers utilized the virtual focus group discussion approach, and the data collected was analysed using Braun and Clarke’s six-phase reflexive thematic analysis model. The researchers uncovered the creative efforts of each American Corner, integrating themes of interreligious dialogue, peace, mental health and animal welfare. The communities’ evolving needs greatly influence programming, with strong partnerships and immersive learning sessions cited as key programme highlights among the American Corners. However, poor infrastructure – particularly poor Internet access and power interruptions – poses significant challenges, prompting a focus on in-person over hybrid and virtual events. The recommendations include improving information accessibility and dissemination, fostering strategic partnerships, and deepening community engagement to sustain peace efforts in Mindanao.

In 1922, the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation was established to serve as an advisory organ of the League of Nations in respect of science, arts and education. It took an interest in promoting international bibliographic projects and library cooperation. This article focuses on the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation’s Subcommittee for Science and Bibliography, established in 1923, and situates it in the context of the League’s evolving and complex administrative and communication infrastructure for intellectual cooperation, to which the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation was added in 1926. A general overview is given of the Subcommittee’s membership, its relationship with the International Institute of Bibliography of Paul Otlet and Henri Lafontaine, and its activities as reflected in its agendas, minutes and reports. Its membership comprised eminent scientists and scholars, with directors of some major libraries serving as associate members, some of whom later played leading roles in IFLA.
