Sterling 3
Information professional education in the US, China, and Japan:  
Building on ASIS&T's Information Professional Education Task Force's
2008 report and interest in the development of the information
professional concept in other countries, a People to People delegation
to China visited five institutions representing information professional
educators and employers.  Delegate Yukiko Sakai's participation offered
an opportunity to learn more about information professional education in
Japan. The visits resulted in an excellent exchange of information as
well as agreement to work together in several areas. This workshop will
allow the discussions to continue and will bring other interested
parties into the conversation.
