This book explores the development, trends and research of library
and information sciences (LIS) in the digital age. Inside, readers
will find research and case studies written by LIS experts,
educators and theorists, most of whom have visited China, delivered
presentations there and drafted their articles based on feedback
they received. As a result, readers will discover the LIS issues
and concerns that China and the international community have in
common. The book first introduces the opportunities and challenges
faced by the library and information literacy profession and
discusses the key role of librarians in the future of information
literacy education. Next, it covers trends in LIS education by
examining the vision of the iSchool movement and detailing its
practice in Syracuse University. The book then covers issues in
information seeking and retrieval by showing how visual data mining
technology can be used to detect the relationship and pattern
between terms on the Q&A of a social media site. It also
includes a case study regarding tracing information seeking
behavior and usage on a multimedia website. Next, the book stresses
the importance of building an academic accreditation framework for
scientific datasets, explores the relationship between
bibliometrics and university rankings, and details the birth and
development of East Asian Libraries in North America. Overall, the
book offers readers insight into the changing nature of LIS,
including the electronic dissemination of information, the impact
of the Internet on libraries, the changing responsibilities of
library professionals, the new paradigm for evaluating information,
and characteristics and functions of today's library personnel.
