While there is undoubtedly value in differentiating among the individual information professions, there would also appear to be both intellectual and practical benefits from acknowledging shared principles and practices and working together. This idea has served as the basis for the work of the Information Professional Education Task Force, and gave rise to an interest in the development of the information professional concept in other countries. A People to People delegation to China provided the opportunity to learn more about the education of information professionals in that very rapidly growing information environment, and to explore possibilities for collaboration. Since the Special Libraries Association also has an ongoing interest in information professionals, SLA President Anne Caputo joined the group travelling to China.
The delegation visited five institutions representing information professional educators and employers – the National Science Library of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China, and Beijing Normal University in Beijing and the Shanghai Municipal Archives and East China Normal University in Shanghai. From delegate Yukiko Sakai from Keio we also had the 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.
Audience
This workshop is intended for ASIS&T attendees interested in the evolving patterns of education for the information professions; including educators, employers, students, and information professionals in general. The session will inform attendees about information professional education in the US, China, and Japan.

and Khanh Nguyen will then describe how we solicited early feedback using a series of focus groups from faculty and students from the five libraries, and will share some findings and lessons learned.
Dame to make your next big (or small!) project rewarding, collaborative, transparent and effective. We will highlight our recent experience with a consortia implementation of Primo, as well as draw on past Aleph, MetaLib and other projects.
Second Life and Facebook offer different opportunities for group leaders.
Facebook is great for building a community presence that can be referenced at anytime and provides more familiar forms of interaction such as messaging and email. It only requires a computer with minimal capabilities. Second Life is a 3D virtual world that offers, among many other things, real-time meeting capability and exciting new forms of interaction, though the technological demands are higher. Attend this session for an overview about how each of these social networking tools facilitates leadership.
Though only a few years only, Facebook is the largest social networking community, with over 30 million members worldwide. Originating in academe, many from the information professions are active on Facebook, and this holds potential to help growth and interest of millennial-age and other new professionals to become involved in professional organizations, should we reach out to them and try to build virtual community. Pascal Calarco has set up an ASIS&T group on Facebook, now over 130 members throughout the world. He will talk about this group and some of the virtual communities of interest to library and information science, and how we can possibly leverage this community to identify and grow future ASIS&T leaders.
Allison Brueckner will present on the various leadership styles which she has observed and practiced for nine months in Second Life (SL), a 3D virtual world. Social networks inherently evolve and the evolution of leadership styles used in SL has varied in degrees of success. Ms. Brueckner will discuss the technological challenges SL leadership faces, when executing various projects and tasks. She will also present the social impact this virtual environment makes on leadership styles. A demonstration in-world, in Second Life, will also be given.
