Far infrared and submillimetre surveys: from IRAS to Akari, Herschel and
  Planck
  We discuss a new IRAS Faint Source Catalog galaxy redshift catalogue (RIFSCz)
which incorporates data from Galex, SDSS, 2MASS, WISE, Akari and Planck. Akari
fluxes are consistent with photometry from other far infrared and submillimetre
missions provided an aperture correction is applied. Results from the
Hermes-SWIRE survey in Lockman are also discussed briefly, and the strong
contrast between the galaxy populations selected at 60 and 500 mu is
summarized.
