Átfogó társadalmi trendek és kihívások a könyvtárak életében: Mozaikok az IFLA WLIC 2021 konferenciáról.

The IFLA (World Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) Annual Conference (World Library and Information Congress – WLIC) was held on 17–19 August 2021, online for the first time in the organization’s 86-year-long history. In this summary, we give some insight into the rich professional offer of the event, which included more than one hundred and fifty programs. We give a foretaste of some of the features of the broad social discourse that explores what roles libraries have in a dynamically changing social environment and what trends influence their future. Some presenters also took perspectives outside the library sector into account. We believe that the conference will provide a starting point for further important and valuable global and local exchanges of views in order to fulfil the social functions of libraries in many ways [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
