Based on his extensive experience in international librarianship,
Peter Johan Lor, South Africa's first National Librarian and a
former Secretary General of the IFLA, has written the first
comprehensive and systematic overview of international and
comparative librarianship. His book provides a conceptual framework
and methodological guidelines for the field and covers the full
range of international relations among libraries and information
services, with particular attention to the international political
economy of information, the international diffusion of innovations
and policy in library and information services, LIS development and
international aid. It concludes with a discussion of the practical
relevance and future of international and comparative studies in
LIS. See a short interview with Peter Lor on his work
