Although some books have been written about the emergence of LIS in non-Anglophone European countries, they were published in languages other than English, which make them difficult to access for an international audience. This book bridges this gap by offering readers a cross-national history of the emergence of LIS in non-Anglophone European countries. It retraces the emergence of LIS as a higher education field of learning and inquiry in seven countries: France, Yugoslavia (current day Croatia), Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain and Portugal, from the first quarter of the 19th century to the last quarter of the 20th century, and identifies the pioneers, the earliest education programs in vocational library schools, and their absorption into universities from the 1970s which paved the way for the academic recognition of LIS in the last quarter of the 20th century. This cross-country history of LIS in non-Anglophone European countries shows that, despite apparent linguistic and terminological differences, there are underlying common characteristics in the march of LIS towards academic, social and cognitive institutionalisation in these seven countries. This book is a fundamental reading for students and researchers in LIS, particularly for anyone who wishes to expand their view and understanding of LIS outside of English-speaking countries. 410 0$aStudies in information ;$vvolume 13$x2055-5377 606 $aLibraries$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aInformation science$xHistory 606 $aLanguage Arts & Disciplines$xLibrary & Information Science$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aLibrary & information sciences$2bicssc 615 0$aLibraries$xHistory. 615 0$aInformation science$xHistory. 615 7$aLanguage Arts & Disciplines$xLibrary & Information Science$xGeneral. 615 7$aLibrary & information sciences. 676 $a027.04 700 $aIbekwe$b Fidelia$0769745 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813271803321 996 $aEuropean origins of library and information science$91569628 997 $aUNINA
