** Apologies for cross posting **
Dear colleagues,
The UBC Working Group is pleased to announce that the revised draft of the IFLA Professional Statement on Universal Bibliographic Control (UBC) has been finalized for public consultation.
This important resource has been maintained by the IFLA Bibliography Section since 2012. The Section took the lead in coordinating its revision and established the UBC Working Group for this purpose in the Fall of 2023. The revised version has been developed under the sponsorship of the IFLA Bibliography, Cataloguing, and Subject Analysis and Access Sections, together with the IFLA Advisory Committee on Standards and in consultation with the IFLA National Libraries Section.
We are now launching a worldwide review to gather feedback from all interested communities and individuals.
You can access the revised draft version of the IFLA Professional Statement on Universal Bibliographic Control on this page. In order to fully understand the purpose and scope of the revision, respondents are invited to read the Elaboration of Intent issued.
Review period: 2 May – 23 May 2025
Consult this page for feedback modalities
Please distribute widely amongst your networks!
On behalf of the UBC Working Group
