Our Vision defines the world that we are working to create in future. It provides a reference point across our activities, both for IFLA and for the library field as a whole, providing direction and inspiration for all that we do.


Our Mission sets out how IFLA works to achieve our Vision. Its words reflect everything that IFLA does in order to support its members and beyond, through providing tools and materials, a forum for discussion and learning, and advocating on your behalf, while also working to ensure the long-term sustainability of our Federation.

Our Vision, Mission, and wider Strategy are the fruit of IFLA’s Global Vision, which engaged tens of thousands of voices from more than 190 countries and all continents about the strengths and weaknesses of the library field.

National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) is the peak body for the national, state and territory libraries of Australia and New Zealand.

Through collaboration, we deliver better collections, solutions and customer experiences than each library can do individually. We also contribute to more informed public policy, and share our knowledge and expertise to increase the professional capability of our staff and to build a workforce for the future.
