Drawing on interviews with library personnel from around the world, Lombard analyzes internationalization at the departmental level of an academic library. Demonstrating that college and library personnel have positive intentions when it comes to internationalization, the research presented nevertheless reveals that there was little commitment to an intentional, holistic role in the libraries studied. Drawing on internationalization expertise and models of prominent scholars, the book argues that libraries need to be more deliberate in their internationalization efforts and collaborate with other college personnel and departments outside the library. Lombard asserts that internationalization can facilitate a better understanding of the potential for transformation of the library's mission, vision, and policy. The Internationalization of the Academic Library cuts across the fields of library science and higher education administration, ensuring that the book will appeal to researchers and students working in these disciplines. Library professionals around the world will also find much to interest them within the book"Provided by publisher.Routledge studies in library and information science.Academic librariesAims and objectivesAcademic librariesAdministrationInternational educationAcademic librariesAims and objectives.Academic librariesAdministration.International education.027.7Lombard Emmett1362452NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910727247503321The Internationalization of the Academic Library3381593UNINA
