New IFLA Professional Statement on Universal Bibliographic Control (2025)

  • 1.  New IFLA Professional Statement on Universal Bibliographic Control (2025)

    Posted Jul 29, 2025 08:45 AM

    Dear colleagues,

    We are pleased to announce the release of the new IFLA Professional Statement on Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC), a strategic and timely reaffirmation of a long-standing commitment to global bibliographic coordination.

    Endorsed by IFLA's Governing Board in July 2025, the new statement updates and replaces the 2012 version. It reasserts the continuing importance of UBC as a foundational principle in the library and information services ecosystem, supporting access to trustworthy information for all.

    We encourage library and information professionals, national bibliographic agencies and institutions worldwide to engage with the statement and apply its principles in their own contexts.
