The editors of the book and the contributors challenge library
schools to internationalize their curricula at a time when
provincial nationalism seems to be prevalent and the profession on
the whole is more concerned with the how to rather than the why,
and when information technology is being studied almost in
isolation from the key social issues of the computer age. The book
should be read by all individuals concerned with library education
and international programs in particular and the
library/information profession in general. "Library Quarterly"
"Internationalizing Library and Information Science Education: A
Handbook of Policies and Procedures in Administration and
Curriculum" deals with one of the most critical issues in
librarianship today: the complexities involved in operating
libraries in a world where the international exchange of ideas,
activities, and technologies is a constant force. As defined by
editors John F. Harvey and Frances Laverne Carroll,
internationalism is the process by which a nationally defined
library topic, curriculum, or school becomes responsive to
international policies or perspectives. The theme of this volume is
this change in perspective.
