The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is an international body representing the interests of people who rely on libraries and information professionals.[3] A non-governmental, not-for-profit organization, IFLA was founded in Scotland in 1927 with headquarters at the National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague. IFLA sponsors the annual IFLA World Library and Information Congress, promoting access to information, ideas, and works of imagination for social, educational, cultural, democratic, and economic empowerment. IFLA also produces several publications, including IFLA Journal.[4]

IFLA partners with UNESCO, resulting in several jointly produced manifestos.[5] IFLA is also a founding member of Blue Shield,[6] which works to protect the world's cultural heritage when threatened by wars and natural disaster.
