Based on his extensive experience in international librarianship, Peter Johan Lor, South Africa's first National Librarian and a former Secretary General of the IFLA, has written the first comprehensive and systematic overview of international and comparative librarianship. His book provides a conceptual framework and methodological guidelines for the field and covers the full range of international relations among libraries and information services, with particular attention to the international political economy of information, the international diffusion of innovations and policy in library and information services, LIS development and international aid. It concludes with a discussion of the practical relevance and future of international and comparative studies in LIS. See a short interview with Peter Lor on his work https://www.ifla.org/node/92590

La musique en bibliothèque a-t-elle encore un avenir ? La question, qui aurait sans doute parue incongrue voici dix ans, pourrait paraître provocatrice. Pourtant, les bibliothèques musicales publiques, touchées de plein fouet par l'évolution des modes d'écoute, de diffusion et de création de la musique, connaissent bel et bien une « crise », qui est aussi celle du disque, support dont la désaffection semble devenue inexorable depuis la dernière décennie. Cette crise, qui se manifeste par un déclin du prêt et du nombre des usagers est cependant plus celle d'un modèle – celui de la discothèque de prêt – que celui de la musique en elle-même : la pratique musicale est, dans le domaine du spectacle vivant, l'activité culturelle la plus développée (dix millions de personnes en France), et on n'a jamais écouté autant de musique qu'aujourd'hui…Le challenge des professionnels est bien de résoudre ce paradoxe en pensant autrement la place de la musique dans la bibliothèque, en réfléchissant à de nouvelles missions, à de nouveaux services plus en phase avec l'évolution des goûts et des pratiques des usagers. La tâche est difficile, mais les bibliothécaires musicaux ont pris la question à bras le corps en travaillant à l'élaboration progressive d'un modèle alternatif : place croissante dédiée à la musique vivante, implication dans les « scènes locales », développement des activités de médiation, offres de musique numérique, création de blogs, participation active aux réseaux sociaux…Cette problématique propre aux bibliothèques publiques touche aussi à leur manière les bibliothèques spécialisées, qui se posent, dans leurs domaines, les mêmes interrogations, comme en témoigne l'ouverture des bibliothèques de conservatoire, l'évolution des outils bibliothéconomiques, la généralisation des ressources documentaires en ligne ou les préoccupations liées à la conservation et à la valorisation du patrimoine sonore enregistré.

I nostri valori, rivisti is the profound reinterpretation, fifteen years after its first edition, of I nostri valori, which highly influenced the discussion on the present and future of libraries and librarians. The suggested professional values are: management skills, service, intellectual freedom, rationality, literacy and learning, equity of access to knowledge and information, privacy, democracy and, compared to the first edition, Michael Gorman adds the superior good. This is therefore an axiology of the library and even more than that, a defence of the library's value, but also a treatise on the library and the librarians advocacy, of a system and a profession which must continually evolve to reaffirm and consolidate their centrality in the social and cultural context.

The book identifies the characteristics of comparative method in the social sciences and its applications in library and information science, analyzing aims, methodological problems, phases and approaches of comparative librarianship. It is a disciplinary field, still little explored in the Italian context, which aims to examine structures, services, practices and functions of libraries to highlight aspects and peculiarities in a defined context, relating different realities, analyzing causes and effects of emerged specificities and evaluating factors that influence their development. The reflection is enriched by a critical analysis of Italian and foreign comparative researches and by the proposal of a work outline to approach comparative librarianship.
