  • Ten years ago, IFLA's Long Term Policy, developed by the Executive Board and adopted by Council in Moscow, included the description of the new and expanded role of libraries in view of the development of new technologies, insisting on the new functions they should assume (access to electronic databases, networking, etc.). IFLA also recognized in this document the importance of elaborating international technical standards and protocols relevant to library practice. Several years later, the Professional Board, when drafting its Medium-Term-Programme 1998-2001, put a special emphasis on the electronic environment. This emphasis has been reflected in all plans of IFLA professional units with a large range of relevant activities (projects, research papers, seminars and workshops, etc.). They have covered rights managements, use of electronics in various settings and for different media, training, and, of special interest to us here, standards for the organization of electronic resources, including the use of classification as a finding tool.
