Inside the World's Major East Asian Collections examines the rise
of the "LAM," an acronym that stands for libraries, archives and
museums. In doing so, this book profiles leading
experts-librarians, archivists and museum curators-who specialise
in East Asian collections from across the world. In examining the
dynamically shifting role of the cultural institution in the
context of managing information and collections, this book provides
important themes offered by these cultural experts in understanding
the necessary professional skills, knowledge and personalities that
are required for working in such environments of varying size,
scope and composition in LAMs. As galleries, LAMs manage
preservation and access of history and culture, and their missions
and goals as cultural institutions continue to converge. As
collecting institutions, LAMs share the common mandate to preserve
and make accessible primary resources valuable for researchers and
professionals, as well as the public. LAMs are mostly publicly
funded, publicly accountable institutions collecting cultural
heritage materials. Another aim of this book is to enhance the
visibility and recognise the efforts of the LAM professionals as
cultural institution leaders, since much of their great
contributions in the respective fields to preserving our cultural
and documentary heritages have gone unnoticed outside their parent
institutions.
Conversations with Leading Academic and Research Library Directors:
International Perspectives on Library Management presents a series
of conversations with the directors of major academic and research
libraries. The book offers insight, analysis, and personal anecdote
from leaders in the library field, giving a unique perspective on
how the modern library operates. Readers will learn about the most
up-to-date trends and practices in the LIS profession from the
directors of 24 internationally acclaimed academic and research
libraries in Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, The Netherlands, New
Zealand, Russia, Singapore, and the UK and USA. This is the first
book focusing on leaders and managers of library institutions to
offer a global outlook. Facing the need to respond to the
expectations of changing populations that librarians strive to
serve, this book aims to develop a new understanding of the core
values of academic and research libraries, and asks how librarians
can innovate, adapt, and flourish in a rapidly shifting
professional landscape.
