During the past 50 years, the study of "international
librarianship" global, universal, or comparative has increasingly
become an essential element in understanding the importance of
information and knowledge in the global setting. Over this period
of time, many attempts have been made to evaluate the similarities
and differences in information structures, staffing, and services
in various areas of the world with the ultimate intention of
providing timely and accurate information to seekers in the greater
international arena. International Librarianship: A Basic Guide to
Global Knowledge Access identifies basic background sources, in
whatever format, for the study and teaching of international
librarianship. The most important ones relate to: . Establishing a
professional association, so that issues relating to information
access can be discussed and resolved at the national and
international level . Identifying international philanthropic
agencies, which can facilitate development of international
information services . The Importance of national libraries and
bibliographic services, which are responsible for some coordination
and cooperation in sharing national information . Developing
information policies on both the national and international front
Renowned author and specialist on international librarianship,
Robert D. Stueart, concludes the guide with a listing of sources
for the discussion and development of information policies,
including proposals put forth in the World Summit on the
Information Society."
