Continuing Professional Development, and International Recognition Chapter Educating the Central Asian Librarian: Considering the International MLIS in Kazakhstan Celia Emmelhainz, University of California, Berkeley, USA Why Central Asian librarians enter the profession, and how they decide which educational strategies to pursue in developing their careers? Using 13 conversations and 10 qualitative interviews with Kazakh and Kyrgyz librarians, this chapter finds that librarians enter the profession due to personal interest, by happenstance, or for university funding and continue when they perceive an opportunity for career growth as well as salary mobility Central Asian librarians evaluate their educational options, including local bachelor’s degrees; distance education from Russia; MLIS programs in Asia, Europe, or America; and short-term online training, while balancing family responsibilities and career prospects in and outside of librarianship Prospects for creating a local MLIS or other improved professional training programs are discussed Chapter Continuing Professional Development and the Philippine Qualifications Framework: A Way Forward to Mutual Recognition Arrangements 33 Lourdes Tenmatay David, Professional Regulation Commission of the Republic of the Philippines, Philippines The Philippines is unique among the ASEAN member states (AMS) in implementing its continuing professional development (CPD) policy among its professionals It is the only AMS that requires CPD compliance for the renewal of the Professional Identification Card of its professionals For that matter, it is the only country in the ASEAN that requires graduates of Library and Information Science to take and pass a licensure examination before they can practice the profession The Bachelor’s degree in LIS also has a common curriculum for all the schools offering the degree as mandated by the Commission on Higher Education except for autonomous higher education institutions The chapter discusses the laws, practices, and issues that affect the practice of librarianship in the Philippines and how CPD impacts the ASEAN Qualifications Framework (AQRF), career progression and eventually the Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) among ASEAN member countries Chapter Diversity, Indigenous Knowledge, and LIS Pedagogy: Conceptualizing Formal Education in Library and Information Studies in Vanuatu .50 Reysa Alenzuela, The University of the South Pacific Emalus Campus, Vanuatu Margaret Austrai Terry, National Library of Vanuatu, Vanuatu While the rest of the world discusses how Library and Information Studies (LIS) can best cope with the emerging trends in technology and global information platforms, there are parts of the world that not offer LIS programs This chapter provides insights on the development of LIS qualification that recognizes the needs of librarians in Vanuatu The Ni-Vanuatu competency index serves as a reference for the skills required to deliver services and resources to their clients The importance of having a functional program that integrates the uniqueness of Vanuatu’s cultural diversity and indigenous knowledge is the primary discussion for this chapter It is too early to discuss the steps for meeting the criteria for the qualifications framework as the program is not in place Still, the focus of what kind of LIS Education suits Ni-Vanuatu librarians is the beginning of the conversation Chapter 10,000 Newly Certified Librarians, 100 Secure Jobs 78 Daisuke Okada, Soai University, Japan This chapter discusses the status, challenges, and issues encountered in librarianship in Japan, especially school librarianship Specifically, it focuses on the certifications for school library staff, the curriculum model, and the employability of certified librarians Topics related to Library and Information Studies schools, training programs for certified librarians, summer and distance education, qualifications and accreditation of teacher librarians are discussed as well Currently, librarianship and school librarianship are not close to implementing internationalization; however, this discussion cannot be avoided Hence, this chapter argues that it is necessary to incorporate the specific trends in Japan along with global trends Compilation of References Sewell, R G (1983) Faculty status and librarians: The rationale and the case of Illinois College & Research Libraries, 44(3), 212–222 doi:10.5860/crl_44_03_212 Shafi, A., Saeed, S., Bamarouf, Y A., Iqbal, S Z., Min-Allah, N., & Alqahtani, M A (2019) Student outcomes assessment methodology for ABET accreditation: A case study of computer science and computer information systems programs IEEE Access: Practical Innovations, Open Solutions, 7, 13656–13667 doi:10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2894066 Shaimukhanbetova, Z (2012) Кадровая молодежная политика в библиотеках РК: проблемы, поиски решения [Personnel youth policy in libraries of the Republic of Kazakhstan: problems and finding solutions] KarLib Retrieved from http://old-site.karlib.kz/forum_Shaimuxanbetova_ doklad.pdf Shariff, T (2003) Library and information science education in Brunei Darussalam: The needs and prospects Malaysian Journal of Library and Information Science, 8(2), 19 Shawyun, T (2010) Developing and actioning strategic planning in higher education institutions Assumption University Press Shukla, S., Barkman, J., & Patel, K (2017) Weaving indigenous agricultural knowledge with formal education to enhance community food security: School competition as a pedagogical space in rural Anchetty, India Pedagogy, Culture & Society, 25(1), 87–103 doi:10.1080/1468 1366.2016.1225114 Sipar (2019) More about us: Who we are Sipar Retrieved from http://www.sipar.org/who-we-are Sitabutr, S (2014, July 18) Princess Maha Chakri opens 90th Chalerm Ratchakumari public library National News Bureau of Thailand Retrieved from https://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/ princess-maha-chakri-opens-90th-chalerm-ratchakumari-public-library-39677 SLAP (2012) GlobaLIS PROJECT Retrieved from http://www.globalis-net.com/SLAP/ globalis_project.html Special Libraries Association (2015) Competencies for information professional of the 21st century Retrieved from https://www.sla.org/about-sla/competencies/ Spennemann, D H (2004) A digital library and archive about the Marshall Islands: Experiences and challenges The Australian Library Journal, 53(3), 235–254 doi:10.1080/00049670.2004 10721652 Sputnik Uzbekistan (2018) В Узбекистане стартовала кампания по отбору для обучения в вузах России [In Uzbekistan a campaign launched to select for studies in Russian universities] Retrieved from https://uz.sputniknews.ru/society/20180326/7820239/Uzbekistan-vuzy-Rossiyaobrazovanie.html St Germain, M (2002) A Report on a Trip to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan MELA Notes, 73/74, 23-44 308 Compilation of References Steinerová, J (2003) Information science research agenda in Slovakia: History and merging vision Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 54(1), 81–86 doi:10.1002/asi.10157 Strategy 2050 (2019) About Strategy Retrieved from https://strategy2050.kz/en/page/ multilanguage/ Strategy 2050 (2019) РАЗВИТИЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ РК Retrieved from https://strategy2050 kz/ru/state_programs/gosudarstvennaya-programma-razvitiya-obrazovaniya-rk/ Subramaniam, M M., & Jaeger, P T (2011) Weaving diversity into LIS: An examination of diversity course offerings in iSchool programs Education for Information, 28(1), 1–19 doi:10.3233/EFI-2010-0891 Sulistyo-Basuki, L (2013, July) A study of the curriculum of Indonesia’s existing five graduate LIS programs Paper presented at the Asia-Pacific Conference on Library & Information Education & Practice (A-LIEP 2013), Khon Kaen, Thailand Retrieved from https://sulistyobasuki.wordpress com/2013/05/05/a-study-of-the-curriculum-of-indonesias-existing-five-graduate-lis-programs/ Sulistyo-Basuki, L (2015) LIS education and quality assurance system in Asia Pacific: Indonesia In M Miwa & S Miyahara (Eds.), Quality assurance in LIS education: An international and comparative study (pp 153–155) New York: Springer doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-6495-2_10 Sunny, N (2009, December 17) Bdtvec national diploma information and library management Brunei Library Association Retrieved from https://bruneilibraryassociation.wordpress.com/ library-training/ Sunny, N (2009, December 17) Training Brunei Library Association Retrieved from https:// bruneilibraryassociation.wordpress.com/library-training/ Sunny, N (2012) Empowering a reading culture: A Brunei Darussalam’s perspective Paper presented at the TK Conference on Reading, Bangkok, Thailand Retrieved from https://www tkpark.or.th/stocks/extra/000a2e.pdf Sunny, N (2016) Librarians, how did we start?
