> *Library and Information Science Trends and Research: Asia-Oceania Region,
> *co-edited by Professor Amanda Spink and Dr. Diljit Singh, seeks to
> provide an understanding of the library and information science trends and
> research in the Asia-Oceania region.
>
> The Asia-Oceania region of the world stretches from Korea and Japan in the
> north, through China and India, to Southeast Asian countries such as
> Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia, and
> eastward to Australia and New Zealand. Asia-Oceania is one of the fastest
> growing regions of the world with a booming population and economy. As the
> region has developed socially and economically particularly in the last ten
> years, the field of library and information science has also grown in
> educational and research developments. In particular, the field is growing
> rapidly in many countries as libraries and digital information becomes part
> of people’s everyday social and life processes.
>
> The book seeks to present chapters by a range of scholars who discuss
> research and educational trends in library and information science in the
> Asia-Oceania region. The co-editors have extensive experience in this world
> region. Professor Amanda Spink recently spent five years in the Australian
> LIS environment and Dr. Diljit Singh, who is based at the University of
> Malaya in Malaysia, has extensive experience throughout the Asian region.
> High quality and scholarly book chapters are sought that cover research and
> education studies, including policy issues, bibliometric studies, user
> behaviour, educational issues and other aspects related to trends in the LIS
> field in the Asia-Oceania region.
>
> *SUBMISSION INFORMATION *
