Previous books on the history of Library and Information Science
(LIS) have focused on single countries, particularly English
speaking ones. Although some books have been written about the
emergence of LIS in non-Anglophone European countries, they were
published in languages other than English, which make them
difficult to access for an international audience. This book
bridges this gap by offering readers a cross-national history of
the emergence of LIS in non-Anglophone European countries. It
retraces the emergence of LIS as a higher education field of
learning and inquiry in seven countries: France, Yugoslavia
(current day Croatia), Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain and Portugal,
from the first quarter of the 19th century to the last quarter of
the 20th century, and identifies the pioneers, the earliest
education programs in vocational library schools, and their
absorption into universities from the 1970s which paved the way for
the academic recognition of LIS in the last quarter of the 20th
century. This cross-country history of LIS in non-Anglophone
European countries shows that, despite apparent linguistic and
terminological differences, there are underlying common
characteristics in the march of LIS towards academic, social and
cognitive institutionalisation in these seven countries. This book
is a fundamental reading for students and researchers in LIS,
particularly for anyone who wishes to expand their view and
understanding of LIS outside of English-speaking countries.
