O actual Manifesto IFLA/UNESCO sobre Bibliotecas Públicas data de 1994, mas apesar de apresentar já algumas lacunas, o texto actual já vai na terceira edição do documento (1949, 1972).
Atendendo a que a Sociedade continua a evoluir e a transformar-se, as Bibliotecas Públicas deverão efectuar um caminho semelhante, de forma a continuarem (ou passarem) a prestar um bom serviço à comunidade.
Desta forma, a secção da IFLA sobre Bibliotecas Públicas divulgou no início de Junho um aditamento ao Manifesto de 1994. O objectivo deste documento era efectuar mais algumas recomendações, de forma a quer as Bibliotecas Públicas possam actualizar os seus serviços, utilizando tecnologias que desde 1994 estão mais disponível e divulgadas.
Este aditamento tem o nome 10 ways to make a public library work / update your library e tal como se pode prever apresentar 10 tópicos sobre como actualizar e melhorar os serviços das bibliotecas e a forma como estas interagem com os seus utilizadores e a sua comunidade.
1. Develop public library buildings with the emphasis as community/cultural spaces not just physical stores of knowledge.
2. Liberate our services using the World Wide Web 2.0 and look towards Web 3.0 and 4.0.
3. Connect with our communities and educate and train people. Librarians and Information Scientists can act as educators and personal knowledge advisors and not just keepers of keys or Internet gatekeepers.
4. Develop a “world wide wisdom” – a global knowledge and understanding by creating international cultural pathways on the web.
5. Work internationally to erode barriers and censorship whilst respecting all cultures.
6. Support our staff with continued training and encouragement to be proactive.
7. Develop our digitised collections services and knowledge – the hybrid library – knowledge, education and information in diverse forms.
8. Improve accessibility to our catalogues and databases especially for users with visual impairments.
9. Establish national and international standards on the Internet environment.
10. Public libraries as cultural storehouses – the “live” environment alongside the “recorded” one – archives, museums, libraries and culture combined: a “comby library”.
