The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. It aims to promote worldwide cooperation in education, research, and culture to promote peace. UNESCO's programs help fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda, which the United Nations General Assembly adopted in 2015. The governments of the European countries opposing Nazi Germany and its allies convened in the United Kingdom in 1942 for the Conference of Allied Ministers of Education (CAME). Even though World War II was far from done, those countries were looking for strategies and means to reconstitute their education institutions once peace was restored. The initiative swiftly gathered traction and took on a worldwide nature. New governments, notably the United States, opted to participate. A United Nations Conference for the Establishment of an Educational and Cultural Organization (ECO/CONF) was convened in London from November 1 to 16, 1945, on the suggestion of CAME. The conflict had only recently finished when the congress called. It brought together delegates from forty-four countries who decided to form an organization that would exemplify a genuine culture of peace. The new organization, in their opinion, was created to establish the "intellectual and moral unity of mankind" and so avert the advent of another world war.

INTRODUCTION/HISTORY

On November 16, 1945, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was established. The General Conference and the Executive Board run UNESCO, which has 195 members and 8 associate members. The Secretariat, led by the Director-General, is in charge of putting these two organizations' decisions into action. The organization's headquarters are in Paris, and it has more than 50 branch offices across the world.

MISSION & VISSION

Political and economic arrangements of governments are not enough to secure the lasting and sincere support of the peoples. Peace must be founded upon dialogue and mutual understanding. Peace must be built upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of humanity.

OBJECTIVES/FUNCTIONS

UNESCO is a United Nations Specialized Agency. The LONDON CONFERENCE established its constitution in November 1945, and it went into force on November 4, 1946, after 20 states had presented acceptance papers. Furthermore, UNESCO's main objective is to contribute to peace and security throughout the globe by encouraging international cooperation through in order to improve education, science, culture, and communication universal respect for the rule of law, the rule of law, and the rule of law

In support of this objective, UNESCO's principal functions are:
• To promote intellectual cooperation and mutual understanding among people through all means of mass communication
• To give fresh impulse to popular education and to the spread of culture
• To maintain, increase and diffuse knowledge

INVOLVEMENT

Membership of the United Nations carries with it the right to membership of UNESCO. States that are not members of United Nations may be admitted to UNESCO, upon recommendation of the Executive Board, by a two-thirds majority vote of the General Conference. There are 193 member countries and 11 associate members of UNESCO as of January 2020. For certain of their dependent regions, some members have separate National Organizing Committees (NOCs). Non-independent states make up associate members.

PRODUCT/SERVICES

UNESCO sponsors projects that improve literacy, provide technical training and education, advance science, protect independent media and press freedom, preserve regional and cultural history, and promote cultural diversity.

ORGANIZATIONS BENEFITS

1. 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 the world over.

2. Receive exclusive web content, invitations to events across the U.S., at the United Nations in New York and throughout the world.

ORGANIZATION FUTURE PLANNING

- UNESCO is happy to announce the release of the first two papers in its Foresight Series, a research effort designed to assist educational decision-makers and managers in adapting their work to a changing environment. Each study examines the benefits and drawbacks of a certain education effort in a specific country. The purpose of this paper, written in a concise, easy-to-read format, is to stimulate discussion on its implications for education policy, planning, and management.

CONCLUSIONS

Finale, a total of 191 countries have joined UNESCO. The organization is based in Paris, with over 50 local offices and several institutions around the world. UNESCO’s five main programs are: education, natural sciences, human and social sciences, culture, and communication and information.

The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) was founded on September 30, 1927, at the Annual Meeting of the UK Library Association in Edinburgh, Scotland, and officially began in 1929 with 15 members from 15 countries. Aside from that, IFLA has advocated for the work of libraries, librarians, and library associations worldwide. IFLA now has over 1500 Members and Affiliates from over 150 countries worldwide. Since then, IFLA has had a long and fruitful career as the global voice of the library and information profession.

INTRODUCTION/HISTORY

The International Federation of Library Groups (IFLA) was created on September 30, 1927, in Edinburgh, Scotland, when library associations from 14 European nations and the United States signed a resolution commemorating the Library Association of the United Kingdom's 50th anniversary. The inaugural president was Isak Collin, the director of Sweden's National Library. The first constitution was ratified at the World Congress of Librarianship and Bibliography in Rome in 1929. China, India, Japan, Mexico, and the Philippines were among the first library associations to join in the 1930s, outside of Europe and the United States. By 1958, the organization had grown to include 64 organizations from 42 nations. In 1962, a permanent secretariat was formed. There were 250 members from 52 countries by 1970. In 1971, the secretariat was relocated to The Hague. By 1974, IFLA had 600 members from 100 countries, making it the world's largest library organization.

MISSION

A strong and united global library field powering literate, informed and participatory societies

VISSION

To inspire, engage, enable, and connect the global library field

OBJECTIVES/FUNCTIONS

Traditionally, national bibliographic services have been charged with three main goals. The first is to assist in library cataloguing that is both efficient and cost-effective. The second aim was to make it easier for libraries to pick and acquire materials. The third step is to improve document supply by improving information retrieval and searching. These objectives continue to be relevant. The context in which such goals are carried out is changing nowadays." Vitiello (Vitiello, 1999) is an author who has written several books on the subject.

A complete and timely national bibliography is therefore an important information resource for:

1.  Selection and acquisition in libraries and similar institutions.

2.  Cataloguing (both directly for copy cataloguing or linking and indirectly for cataloguing support).

3. Verification of authorship and publication history.

PRODUCT/SERVICES

UiTM provides a digital library collection service where student can access the information they need. The services provide are OPAC, Research Consultation, Google Scholar and many more.

ORGANIZATIONS BENEFITS

1. High Quality Reference Materials

Libraries stock quality reference materials for academic purposes. There are numerous books, articles, journals, and magazines, among other publications in the world. Their quality cannot be ascertained. However, a library never stocks any material without vetting. This is a guarantee that you will get the best quality reference materials.

2. Dynamic Resources For Students To Test Their Knowledge

Students have their academic work to complete. However, they have other ideas and are curious about what is in the world around them. The library provides a safe place where they can test these ideas and knowledge. The reference materials available are not restricted to a single subject. This gives an opportunity for students to explore more ideas using credible materials stocked in the library. It helps to boost their confidence and also enables them to be innovative in their learning process.

3. Build a legacy for the next generation

Online libraries help the scientific community because they serve as a reservoir for storing important data, information, and research findings. For a very long time, the physical records of scientific studies and research had to face a critical problem: destroyed or lost.

4. They provide public spaces

Communities need inclusive, well-designed public spaces.
Victorian libraries offer a mix of historic and contemporary public spaces that support community participation and social engagement. They are safe spaces where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs.

ORGANIZATION FUTURE PLANNING

- User interface
