International librarianship stems from a desire to bring about political change, transcultural understanding, collaboration, and mutual respect. Historically, librarians have been deeply involved with challenging issues of information sharing, equity in information access, and bridging the digital divide between different socioeconomic communities. This collection draws on case studies from American librarians who traveled to Central America, the Caribbean, Central Europe, Africa, the Mediterranean, and Asia to participate in librarian-initiated and sponsored projects. They united communities, promoted religious and cultural tolerance, developed new facilities, or enhanced existing libraries and archives, thereby enriching communities with resources, professional expertise, new partnerships, and sustainable development practices. "International Librarianship" offers insight into how these experiences might serve as templates and promote best practices in collaborations within the library profession in the United States and abroad, and it also demonstrates how international experiences can enliven home institutions upon return. Chapters include: (1) The Toronto-Addis Ababa Academic Collaboration Library Science Program: A Case Study in Global Librarianship in Ethiopia (Sandra Kendall); (2) Connecting with the University of Hong Kong for Program and Professional Development (Lesley S. J. Farmer); (3) The CUNY-Shanghai Library Faculty Exchange Program: Participants Remember, Reflect, and Reshape (Sheau-yueh J. Chao, Beth Evans, Ryan Phillips, Mark Aaron Polger, Beth Posner, and Ellen Sexton); (4) Transcending Ethnic, Racial, and Political Conflict to Achieve Understanding between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot Library Communities (Constantia Constantinou); (5) The Unfinished Work: Organizational Democracy (John Lubans, Jr.); (6) Librarians Building Digital Learning Objects Supporting Cultural Understanding: The Fulbright-Hays Seminar Abroad in Morocco and Tunisia (Michael J. Miller); (7) Cape Crusade: Building the Steve Biko Centre's Library and Archive in South Africa's Eastern Cape (Kenneth Schlesinger); (8) Together We Are Better: International Collaboration Supporting Information Access in the Dominican Republic (Loida Garcia-Febo and Adriana McCleer); (9) How Do You Say "Penguin" in K'aqchikel? Promoting Literacy in Guatemala (Stephen E. Stratton); (10) Building Capacity for International Librarianship through Intercultural Professional Partnerships and Civil Society Outreach in Tanzania (Chantal Phillips); (11) Partnering in International Library Development: Lubuto Library Project, Zambia Library Service, and Zambia's Ministry of Education (Elizabeth Cramer); and (12) Peace Corps Training for Sustainable Library Development Projects (Marcy Carrel). An index is included. (ERIC)
