IFLA Library Map of the World
is a representative source of basic library statistics and a robust tool providing
country-level data and a worldwide comparison of different library performance
metrics by region.
Libraries are
leading promoters and providers of free access to all types of information to
all citizens. To show the potential of the global library field, the Library
Map of the World features all types of libraries, including national, academic,
public, community, school, and special libraries. The initial set of
performance metrics include number of libraries, number of libraries providing
internet access, number of staff and volunteers, number of registered users and
visitors, and number of loans.
As an advocacy
tool, the Library Map of the World is also a platform providing access to SDG
stories demonstrating how libraries in different countries contribute to the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and serve as partners in meeting
local development needs.
IFLA Library Map
of the World is being created in partnership with data and story contributors
including national library associations, national libraries, library support
organizations and other institutions, from around the world. Reliable global
library statistics is our shared vision.
