Join us in the second webinar of our virtual event series “Topics in National Bibliographies”

The IFLA Bibliography Section is holding a free webinar on Thursday 27 June 2024 to present wider perspectives about national bibliographies, using collective and comparative approaches and exploring them in various contexts.

About the webinar

Extended views about national bibliographies can provide valuable insights beyond simply recording the national cultural outputs. They can reveal new trends, provide critical insights into the choices made to established them, and situate them into wider information landscapes.

This webinar aims at exploring the vibrant world of national bibliographies within a specific cultural, regional or national context. Presented or studied collectively, or integrated into a wider portfolio of bibliographic services, the national bibliographies featured in this webinar permit to explore connections and influences, allowing to examine what drives their creation and what shapes national bibliographic practices and outputs.
