Introduction
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
Potential contributors are invited to submit an abstract or a 1-2 page chapter proposal to the book Editors ASAP, detailing the background, motivations and structure of the proposed chapter. Authors will be notified in short order as to the status of their proposal and sent organizational guidelines.
Full chapters should be at least 8,000-9,000 words in length and are due by January 1, 2011. Final revised manuscripts are due on February 1, 2011 for a publication date later in 2011.

IFLA ALP Short Course on Information Literacy and IT
IFLA ALP Short Course on Information Literacy and IT
for Information Professionals in Asia and Oceania
Wellington, New Zealand
16 Nov - 11 Dec 2009
APPLICATIONS FOR 2009 NOW OPEN
This four-week course organised on behalf of IFLA ALP is now in its ninth
year in New Zealand. The overall theme is information literacy, with special
reference to needs and developments of countries in Asia and Oceania. The
course will cover the basics of information literacy and information
literacy training skills needed by information professionals in a variety of
settings, as well as current and emerging IT applications in libraries.
Classroom participation and hands-on practice will be interspersed with
visits to leading libraries and information agencies in Wellington, the
capital of New Zealand and home to a wide array of 'cutting-edge'
information organisations.
The course will be based primarily at the Victoria University of Wellington
Library and taught by leading educators in library and information
management, as well as practitioners with considerable experience in the
delivery of information literacy programmes.
While the course is purposely small, to allow one-on-one training and
closely monitored IT lab work, there are limited vacancies for fee-paying
students. A fee of US$3000 covers all tuition, course materials and
accommodation in comfortable university housing. Airfares, visas and meals
are an additional expense to be met by successful applicants.
The final selection of applicants will be made no later than the beginning
of August 2009. There is no application form, but potential participants
should send an email message outlining (1) professional education, (2)
professional work experience, (3) level of English ability, (4) reasons for
wishing to attend the course, (5) self-assessed IT capabilities and (6)
source of funding. Please email this information as soon as possible to:

Call for Papers
Session Theme: Preserving the past - creating the future
The five sub-regions of IFLA's Asia-Oceania Section encompass ethnic groups
and cultures whose rich histories are embodied within written, pictorial and
oral traditions that date back to the beginnings of human civilisation. The
Asia-Oceania Open Session at Milan focuses on the critical role being played
by libraries and other information organisations in Asia-Oceania in
preserving the richness of the past so that their peoples can create a
future that is linked to the past. The theme encompasses both the
practicalities of cultural heritage preservation work to ensure the survival
of the past and the efforts involved in services that focus on helping
individuals and groups make use of those cultural heritage resources to
understand the past to create a better future.
Dedicated to the theme, 'Preserving the past - creating the future', this
session therefore aims to highlight the work of libraries and other
information organisations in Asia-Oceania that contributes to the creation
of better futures by preserving the past. In keeping with the conference's

. Understanding how heritage awareness through preserved artefacts
can lead to better understanding of possible future developments in
proactive memory institution services
. Preserving or providing access to images or oral histories that
capture the memories of the participants in unique events of a community's
past and cultural heritage
. Preserving significant cultural heritage resources and providing
unified approaches to making them accessible through the collaborative
efforts of libraries, archives and museums
. Promoting the use of or creation of resources that document the
contributions of minority groups to the development of a community's social,
political, cultural or economic life.
