Abstract
  • “International librarianship” is a term that embraces many different, though related, topics. These include international exchanges of librarians, cooperation between libraries and librarians in different countries, and the development of library services in Third World countries. Because the term covers so much territory, the literature on the subject is extensive. An exhaustive bibliography could not be published in the confines of this journal, and even an extensive one would surely be overwhelming to the reader. Nevertheless, the Oregon librarian who wants to learn more about international librarianship may need some direction as to where to go next for more information. Consequently, I have chosen to highlight a handful of print monographs and periodicals, as well as some useful web sites, which can provide practical background and cogent discussion of issues in international librarianship. Many of these resources can also serve as stepping stones to further learning on the topic through their extensive bibliographies and hypertext links. In constructing the bibliography, searches were made in Library Literature, WorldCat, and the ALA and OLA IRRT web sites. Titles and sites were selected that were well-written, current, and provided in-depth coverage of their topics. Resources were also chosen to give a mixture of both background information and pragmatic tips.
