Abstract
This book brings together a range of chapters about the trends in education and research in the field of library and information science (LIS) in the Asia-Oceania region of the world. Why a book about LIS in the Asia-Oceania region? One key reason for a book on the topic is the huge growth of the field in terms of students and schools particularly in Asia. Compared to the growth in Asia, the Oceania region that includes Australia and New Zealand has been fairly stable with some declines being experienced in Australia.
