This new edition of the International Biographical Directory of National Archivists, Documentalists, and Librarians furthers the goals of the first in providing a "base for further communication and cooperation among people in national institutions whose efforts are directed at handling information for the purposes of preservation and distribution." Added to this edition are entries for countries, institutions, and persons not previously represented. Providing an international perspective on archivists, documentalists, and librarians, the focus of this publication is on the national administrators--who they are and where they are--and does not attempt to extensively describe the collections or services of their organizations. It is a tool that has been created to facilitate the cooperation among countries and to increase international communication for information professionals worldwide.This current directory of national archives, documentation centers, and libraries also provides biographical information on the senior persons responsible for those institutions. Included in the preface is a detailed explanation of the methodology used to collect the research, results of the research, the protocol for listing elements within the book, and information on how to contact the authors on any developments that have occurred in the field to keep it as current and accurate as possible. It also contains a list of abbreviations and several appendixes.

<p>A Chronology of Librarianship, 1960-2000 continues the work of Josephine Smith in her original Chronology of Librarianship (Scarecrow, 1968). It updates and completes her work up to 2000, paying special attention to the progress made on technological and international fronts that have significantly altered the role and function of the librarian, especially the rise of the internet in the 1990s. The ramifications of this new level of global connectedness and of the new role of the librarian are of primary concern for author Jeffrey M. Wilhite. <br><br>This book covers all areas of library literature that inform the history of librarianship and ranges over multiple continents. Its broad scope lends itself to wide use by scholars and students of library history and library literature. The chronology is presented in a dictionary format and separated into decades. It is complemented by a comprehensive bibliography and name index.</p>
