Lor, Peter Johan. What's so International about International Librarianship? (PowerPoint). July 1, 2005. http://www4.uwm.edu/sois/about/news/events/International%20librarianship.ppt

This is very outdated and now almost embarrassing, as my thinking about the subject has moved on since I did this presentation. For  my more recent current insights see the entry "International and Comparative Librarianship" in the 3rd edition of the Encyclopedia of library and information science.  Also my book, International and comparative librarianship, a thematic approach, of which the first five chapters (all still drafts) have been posted on my website http://peterlor.com/the-book/ -- Peter Lor
