A Focus on the United States and Asian Countries
May 15, 2008
As information sharing across borders becomes more viable thanks to the Internet, the study of international and comparative librarianship (ICL) is growing increasingly important. Edited by a library science professor and an education librarian at Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven, this collection of seminal scholarly articles is the first compilation of ICL studies across countries, here focusing primarily on the United States and Asian lands. Twenty articles are divided into seven parts: research methodologies, information policy, professional education, information organization and service, and academic, public, and school libraries. Four appendixes list ICL-related curricula, journals, conferences, and web sites.Wilda Williams, Library Journal
