International Institute of Bibliography

The International Institute of Bibliography (IIB) was an organization founded in the early 20th century to promote and organize the collection and dissemination of bibliographic information—details about books, journals, and other publications. Its goal was to improve access to and the understanding of global literature and scholarly resources. The IIB facilitated international cooperation among libraries, researchers, and publishers, helping to standardize bibliographic practices and promote knowledge sharing across borders. It played an important role in the development of library science and information management before merging into larger institutions or evolving into modern bibliographic and information networks.
