Libraries have been part of the human civilization for centuries by playing an important role in the development of people and societies and being instrumental in storing and retrieving information for scholars and other users. Many changes have been introduced in libraries from time to time in order to meet the needs of the changing world. During ancient times, information was written and stored on clay tablets and handwritten materials, which then changed to the printing materials employed during the medieval period. Then came microforms, CD-ROMS, and the online storage method, including databases on the World Wide Web. Technology is still very new to the libraries and their user; the western world having been just introduced to it during the second half of the twentieth century. Editor R.N. Sharma's travels to Asia, Africa, and the Middle East on library assignments have shown him that libraries in those regions are still far behind technologically as compared to the United States and other developed countries.In the Impact of Technology on Asian, African and Middle Eastern Library Collections, sixteen well-known scholars, library educators, and librarians from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East write about the impact of technology on library collections and services in their countries. Three authors from the United States contribute articles about Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Collections in the United States and the impact of technology on these collections and services. This collection of well written essays gives a clear picture of these countries' libraries as compared to the United States and the ways to bridge the gap between developed and developing countries of these regions.

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 frontRenowned 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.

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.

Meet Little Dino and all his prehistoric pals during a hectic day in this interactive boardbook. You can watch the dinosaurs wake up in the morning and eat breakfast, go to school to look and learn, have a tiring race in the playground, make a mess at dinnertime, play music, take a bath, and enjoy a bedtime story. This chunky, soft-to-touch book has been specially designed for young children and adults to enjoy together, with a wipe-clean cover and sturdy board pages. You can follow Dino's day, learn the activities, and have fun! Don't be afraid! Unlike the dinosaurs you may have seen in the movies, Little Dino, the young Tyrannosaurus, isn't scary at all. His friends are very approachable, too - including a red Triceratops, a blue Iguanodon, and a pink Leptoceratops. See them bake cakes and eat them, take the bus into town, and shop for groceries - those Triceratops horns come in very useful for carrying bags! Things wind down towards the end of the day and the end of the book, as the dinosaurs have dinner, play one last game, brush their teeth and go to bed. Goodnight!
