The development of libraries in any country is critical for its socio-economic transformation especially during this 21st century era where access to information and knowledge underpins development. The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) launched the Global Vision Project in 2017 as a way of strengthening library throughout the world. The project has seen over 190 countries participating worldwide. For most nations, especially those in the developing countries, this has indeed created platforms for strong and united library associations that are powering literate, informed and participative societies. A number of countries in Africa including Zimbabwe have taken the initiatives to participate in the IFLA Global Vision. This article seeks to examine the challenges and opportunities   for librarians in Zimbabwe in building a united library field. It will also scrutinize the road travelled by librarians in Zimbabwe in their pursuit of a vision to reposition their libraries on the global library landscape. The   article will also study the factors affecting the development of a unified library sector in Zimbabwe. It will also explore how the national professional association Zimbabwe Library Association (ZIMLA) can contribute towards a unified library profession through collaboration. The article also proposes a strategy to enhance cooperation among librarians in Zimbabwe.

Objetivo. El artículo identifica la génesis de los estudios del modelo conceptual Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), publicado en 1998, por la International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), con el propósito de desarrollar un nuevo abordaje sobre el registro bibliográfico. Método. Se recurrió a la investigación bibliográfica para identificar publicaciones científicas sobre el concepto de modelo y de modelo conceptual para entonces, a partir de las fuentes de información oficiales de la IFLA, tratar la génesis del modelo conceptual FRBR, a fin de investigar la trayectoria que antecede la publicación del modelo e identificar el debate intelectual en torno a su elaboración. Resultado. Se constató que el modelo FRBR nació con fines eminentemente prácticos, pues engendra un conjunto de expectativas en torno a la reducción de costes de la catalogación, indicando un nivel mínimo de elementos en los registro bibliográficos que atiendan a las necesidades de los usuarios, asociadas con los varios tipos de materiales y contextos de uso. Conclusión. El acúmulo del conocimiento científico, sumado a la dimensión de la experiencia traída y sostenida en el modelo, altera los paradigmas de la catalogación tradicional, aunque el informe final del modelo no presente los fundamentos que lo sostienen.

The terms of licenses for electronic resources have changed in the past decade as librarians and publishers strived to reach common ground. A review and analysis of thirty-five licenses in effect prior to 2000 and their 2006 counterparts reveals how licenses evolved to meet the licensing principles set forth in recent years by the American Association of Law Libraries, the International Federation of Library Associations, and the NorthEast Research Libraries. Thirteen aspects of licenses were analyzed in the study. Eight aspects have evolved in the spirit of the principles, and four have not. The remaining aspect has not evolved as part of a license, but has emerged as a preferred business practice outside the license agreement that is in keeping with the practice the licensing principles encourage. The results of the analysis indicate that efforts in the library community to encourage the development of licenses that meet the needs of most libraries are having a positive impact.

In my previous editorial, I made reference to what Theresa Lillis and Mary Jane Curry call ‘literacy brokering’ amongst non-native speakers of English who seek to publish in anglophone academic journals. The term ‘literacy’ makes sense in the context, and, as I noted, the practice is hardly exclusive to those whose first language is not English. However, as Aoife Monks of Contemporary Theatre Review and I planned a New Scholars session on academic publishing for this year's annual conference of the International Federation for Theatre Research (IFTR, with which this journal is affiliated), a supplementary way of thinking about academic knowledge production came to mind: as conversation. And it is a conversational mode that wends its way through the articles presented in this issue of Theatre Research International.
