Comparative studies in information and library science published in
the past ten years have reflected a broad spectrum of backgrounds,
interests, and issues. But until now, services between different
countries have never been gathered or organized into a single
source. As demand from researchers, students, directors, and
practitioners for literature in this field continues to grow, the
need for a focused book on international and comparative
librarianship has become more evident. Authors Yan Quan Liu and
Xiaojun Cheng address this gap as it pertains to Asian nations.
This contributed volume, International and Comparative Studies in
Information and Library Science: A Focus on the United States and
Asian Countries, addresses such issues as research methodologies,
information policy, professional education, information
organization, as well as school, academic, and public libraries.
The book also features a comprehensive bibliography of related
articles, books, proceedings, and other publications in both
English and Chinese. In addition, this volume features four
appendixes that include lists of the curriculum, journal titles,
conferences, and websites relating to international and comparative
librarianship available at the time of publication.
The primary purpose of this book is to help the student understand
the principles of multimedia interface design and to develop
essential skills. The underlying philosophy of the approach in this
course is that concepts are learned and remembered better when
learned in a real work environment.
