Comprehensive internationalization is a strategic process that
seeks to align initiatives for globally-oriented and
internationally-connected programs that is essential for the
attainment of global competitiveness and qualification recognition.
Internationalization of higher education has been in broad debate
among professionals, and procedures and processes towards desired
quality of library and information science (LIS) academic standards
are still a continuing discussion among stakeholders.
Internationalization of Library and Information Science Education
in the Asia-Pacific Region is a critical scholarly resource that
examines the internationalization of LIS education to promote,
develop, and facilitate engagement and mobility of library
professionals around the world with a focus on the Asia-Pacific
region. This book can open doors for greater global engagement and
cooperation among LIS schools and professional governing bodies in
countries that can mutually benefit and propel development to be on
par with European and North American counterparts. While
highlighting various topics such as global engagement, curriculum
design, and knowledge sharing, this book is ideal for academicians,
library professionals, instructional designers, researchers,
curriculum designers, librarians, educators, and students.
In today's globalized world, viable and reliable research is
fundamental for the development of information. Innovative methods
of research have begun to shed light on notable issues and concerns
that affect the advancement of knowledge within information
science. Building on previous literature and exploring these new
research techniques are necessary to understand the future of
information and knowledge. The Handbook of Research on Connecting
Research Methods for Information Science Research is a collection
of innovative research on the methods and application of study
methods within library and information science. While highlighting
topics including data management, philosophical foundations, and
quantitative methodology, this book is ideally designed for
librarians, information science professionals, policymakers,
advanced-level students, researchers, and academicians seeking
current research on transformative methods of research within
information science.
By the time refugees flee from their home country, they likewise
leave behind their former life, their relatives and acquaintances.
Building a new life in their country of destination requires them
to learn a foreign language and adjust to a new culture. Obviously,
their information behavior as well as ICT and digital media usage
adapt to these challenging circumstances. What kind of information
are refugees looking for? Who do they communicate with? What ICT,
social and digital media do they apply? What are their motives to
use particular devices or services, from Facebook and WhatsApp to
YouTube and TikTok? Are gender- as well as age-dependent
differences to be observed? To answer these questions, data have
been collected through an online questionnaire, interviews, as well
as a content analysis of an online platform for refugees.
