Description

Comparative studies in information and library science published in the past ten years have reflected a broad spectrum of backgrounds, interests, and issues.

But until now, services between different countries have never been gathered or organized into a single source.

As demand from researchers, students, directors, and practitioners for literature in this field continues to grow, the need for a focused book on international and comparative librarianship has become more evident.

Authors Yan Quan Liu and Xiaojun Cheng address this gap as it pertains to Asian nations. This contributed volume, International and Comparative Studies in Information and Library Science: A Focus on the United States and Asian Countries, addresses such issues as research methodologies, information policy, professional education, information organization, as well as school, academic, and public libraries.

The book also features a comprehensive bibliography of related articles, books, proceedings, and other publications in both English and Chinese.

In addition, this volume features four appendixes that include lists of the curriculum, journal titles, conferences, and websites relating to international and comparative librarianship available at the time of publication.
