An introductory talk by Peter Lor will clarify what is meant by international and comparative research in our field, what can be learned from such research, and outline what special pitfalls and challenges are to be considered. It will be followed by a panel of LIS journal editors discussing and evaluating the international and comparative LIS research submitted to their journals. Authors of two papers accepted for the Dublin Meeting will give brief presentations on their work.
