OCLC is led by representatives of member institutions using the service. They work together to share data, improve information services and, through their research, better connect libraries to the communities in which they serve. But they also work directly with thousands of individuals to create programs, research, solutions, and education that benefit all libraries, some of them working for these institutions and others not.

A great advantage of OCLC membership is the opportunity to elect representatives that reflect local and regional views on the issues facing libraries today. Member libraries are encouraged to speak directly with elected representatives by having a say in elected representatives and by actively participating in elections and membership meetings.

OCLC works with more than 400 organizations to increase library visibility, enhance new and better services for libraries, and increase efficiency. OCLC exchange date, workflows, applications with a variety of businesses and build partnerships that deliver value to OCLC members such as being contents partners with EBSCO, Cambridge University Press, Ebrary, or Springer.

Libraries are increasing the number of systems and services they use and integrate, from acquisition and e-resource management search and resource sharing. OCLC works with partners to build these applications to provide web services that enable greater selection, integration, and library service innovation.

Through partnerships with search engines, popular web sites, and learning management systems, WorldCat, the common collection of libraries, is presented on the Web to people around the world. By subscribing to OCLC Cataloging andMetadata and FirstSearch / WorldCat Discovery, collections appear on the site that initiated the investigation and can return searchers to the library. These partners generate over 10 million visits to library catalogs each year.

# data[].attributes.body
Nowadays, most of libraries facing a rapidly changing environment, evolving user needs, and the pressure to measure and communicate impacts. OCLC's products help libraries solve these problems by sharing data, streamlining workflows, and connecting people to the knowledge of the world's library collections.

Manage the library to services that increase the efficiency of the administrative services department and the venue as a whole. For example, Wise, WMS and WorldShare LicenseManager.

Metadata services build, manage and share data about their collections while making the library more visible. For example, OCLC cataloging and Metadata Subscription, Dewey Services, Contract Cataloging, CatExpress and Syndeo.

Resource sharing service centralize sharing workflows previously managed in multiple systems while spending fulfilment of interlibrary and loan requests such as Resource sharing revolutionized, WorldShare Interlibrary Loan or Tipasa.

Discovery and reference services get people to the materials they need from library and from other libraries worldwide by using WorldCat.org, WorldCat Discovery and FirstSearch.

It is through this dialogue that the world can achieve global visions of sustainable development encompassing observance of human rights, mutual respect, and the alleviation of poverty, all of which are at the heart of UNESCO mission and activities.

Early in 1942, in wartime, the governments of the European countries, which were confronting Nazi Germany and its allies, met in the United Kingdom for the Conference of Allied Ministers of Education (CAME). The Second World War was far from over, yet those countries were looking for ways and means to reconstruct their systems of education once peace was restored. Very quickly, the project gained momentum and soon took on a universal note. New governments, including that of the United States, decided to join in upon the proposal of CAME, a United Nations Conference for the establishment of an educational and cultural organization (ECO/CONF) was convened in London from 1 to 16 November 1945. Scarcely had the war ended when the conference opened. It gathered the representatives of forty-four countries who decided to create an organization that would embody a genuine culture of peace. In their eyes, the new organization must establish the “intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind” and, in so doing, prevent the outbreak of another world war.

ORGANIZATION's CONTRIBUTION / BENEFIT- towards access to information

# data[].attributes.body
UNESCO contribution towards access to information is UNESCO assists countries in their compliance and implementations of international treaties, agreements, norms, and standards related to Universal Access to Information.  In addition, UNESCO provides evidence-based and, where appropriate, integrated policy advice to help countries implement and report their activities on the 2030 Agenda, particularly by mainstreaming constitutional, statutory and/or policy guarantees for public access to information. UNESCO makes use of international fora and international days such as the International Day for Universal Access to Information to leverage existing partnerships for inclusive digital transformation.

UNESCO recognizes that universal access to information must embrace open standards to support innovation and competition without barriers. UNESCO advocate for Open Access, including free and affordable access to journals and books, and open archives for scientific information. Open Access can also provide reliable and verified information to all, especially in times when misinformation and disinformation abounds. The importance of Open Data is also acknowledged by promoting open and FAIR data and harnessing its power for innovative, socially beneficial applications.

The digital divide in its many forms, especially the gender inequality in access, remains widening between countries and within regions, calling for an urgent action to end such disparities and provide equitable access for all. UNESCO work with Member States to build capacities for persons with disabilities and indigenous peoples to access information through policy advice that takes the Recommendation concerning the Promotion and Use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace into account.  The International Decade for Indigenous Languages (2022-2032) is also offering an opportunity to build partnerships to protect and foster linguistic diversity and multilingualism.

# data[].attributes.body
UNESCO launches worldwide consultations on the preparation of the Global Action Plan of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022 – 2032). The preparation of the Global Action Plan for the IDIL2022-2032 is an immediate response to the implementation of the United Nations General Assembly Resolution. The IDIL2022-2032 is one of the key outcomes of the 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL2019). One of the first steps in the preparatory process for the organization of the International Decade is the preparation of a Global Action Plan to ensure international cooperation and a joint and well-coordinated action at all levels. The IDIL2022-2032 is a unique opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of indigenous languages for sustainable development, peacebuilding, and reconciliation in our societies, as well as to mobilize stakeholders and resources around the world to support and promote indigenous languages worldwide.

Furthermore, the 3rd World Higher Education Conference (WHEC2022) will bring together relevant stakeholders to define and prepare a roadmap for a new era of higher education. This roadmap will respond to the challenges faced by humanity and the planet, with special attention to the global disruption created by the COVID-19. It will look at both the higher education systems (norms, policies, structures, stakeholders) and institutions (universities, specialized entities, networks).

# data[].attributes.body
In conclusion, over the past year, UNESCO already proved that the organization is established to build peace in the minds of all citizens regardless of their gender, age, religion, ethnic and many more. UNESCO efforts to coordinate international cooperation in education, science, and culture, as well as communication have been shown clearly. To conclude, all the efforts made by the United Nations agency have aim to mobilize societies across the globe so that each child and citizen has access to quality education, a basic human right and an indispensable prerequisite for sustainable development. May grow and live in a cultural environment rich in diversity and dialogue, where heritage serves as a bridge between generations and peoples. Can fully benefit from scientific advances; and can enjoy full freedom of expression; the basis of democracy, development, and human dignity. UNESCO puts an emphasis on children, and as UNICEF reiterates, reducing poverty begins with children and the things that improve their quality of life. Education is one of the most important pieces, and UNESCO’s efforts to improve it benefit people all over the world.

In addition, The Multicultural Population Division also receives library services from IFLA. Library Services for People with Special Needs are also available. The Division for Library Services to People with Special Needs serves as a global platform, bringing together libraries and groups engaged in library service innovation and accessibility.

Not only that, but IFLA also contains the Reference and Information Services Division, which will cover all aspects of reference, the library as a whole, and all parts of the globe. The new electronic environment and the resulting changes in referral employment, the role of referral jobs in the future, and the quality of referral services are all current topics of interest.

Next, IFLA provides pricing services for any national bibliographic service. Differential pricing arrangements can ensure that schools and others who are less able to pay, such as students and the unemployed, have access to services that are financed by those who can afford it. By transferring the national bibliography from older printed, fiche, or CD-ROM media to the Web, new technology offers opportunities to reduce production and distribution costs.

Furthermore, IFLA provides free or open services. Many countries provide free national bibliographic services as a public service. The business case is based on the benefits that open access to information provides to the nation's educational, cultural, and economic life. By reusing bibliographic data created for the national bibliography, other libraries and national organizations may be able to earn costs. Government policy is increasingly determining that material purchased with public funds should be made available to the public under open licensing and without charge. Funding may be also be attracted from different government departments or agencies, such as education, culture, trade and innovation.

Finally, the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) offers mixed modelling services. Depending on the resources required to deliver the services, an NBA may decide to offer a mixed portfolio of free and premium services. For example, a basic online Web catalogue could be made available for free, while particularly personalized or additional value services for specific consumers could be charged.

ORGANIZATION'S CONTRIBUTION/ BENEFIT- TOWARDS ACCESS TO INFORMATION

# data[].attributes.body
There are several benefits of IFLA towards access to information, one of which is IFLA as the global voice of libraries, information centers and information professionals around the world. IFLA is a key platform for formulating goals, providing influence as a grouping, protecting interests, and finding ways out of global problems.

In all sectors, IFLA provides users with a global network through which they can exchange ideas and foster international collaboration, research, and expansion. To fulfil its objectives, IFLA relies on the cooperation and active participation of its members.

The International Federation and Institutions of Libraries (IFLA) is leading the charge on development and access to information, in collaboration with the University of Washington Technological and Social Change Group (TASCHA), which tracks the country's progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals of promoting meaningful access to information. As part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and in response to the government's commitment to promoting meaningful access to information. It provides insights into diverse elements of meaningful information access by looking at four major pillars of access namely connectivity, norms, skills, and social and cultural rules. Information is always preserved and accessible at libraries. In recent years, governments and others have made several comments emphasizing the importance of citizens' ability to learn and apply knowledge equally in order to achieve various policy objectives.

The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) will give a road map for the future. Working with the Headquarters Team, IFLA's Professional Units and Governing Board. IFLA will continue to develop expertise in the preservation of cultural heritage. Within the PAC network, IFLA will establish centers of expertise for specialized areas of PAC practice, as well as specific cultural, language, and regional requirements. IFLA will continue to collaborate with libraries in areas at risk of natural or man-made disasters, forming synergies with the International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS) and UNESCO. The Building Strong Library Associations (BSLA) programmed will also be delivered by IFLA.

Furthermore, IFLA must create standards, guidelines, and other resources that promote best professional practices and demonstrate the importance of libraries in accomplishing sustainable development goals. In addition, IFLA must influence public opinion and debate on open access and library values such as intellectual freedom and human rights, as well as provide exceptional chances for face-to-face networking and learning.

The IFLA Strategy 2019-2024 is a library-related document. It is intended to serve as a resource not just for IFLA's Professional Unit, headquarters, regional and language offices, but also for the library's membership and field in general. In IFLA's efforts, it should serve as a catalyst for new energy and alignment.

IFLA's Strategic Directions highlight four areas of focus in carrying out the mission:

1. Strengthen the Global Voice of Libraries

To demonstrate the importance of libraries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and to serve as a foundation for effective library advocacy, IFLA will create high-quality, high-impact tools that demonstrate the library's contribution to development in all of its dimensions to external audiences.

Establish a strong presence as a valued partner in international organizations and meetings. In order to establish legislation, standards, and initiatives that benefit libraries, IFLA will improve partnerships with major international institutions. IFLA will also take a long-term strategic strategy and establish itself as a valuable partner.

2. Inspire and Enhance Professional Practice

Engage and invigorate the library by delivering high-quality campaigns, information, and other communication items on a regular basis.
