From Tom Kaun regarding my inquiry about International Librarians:


Have you considered joining IASL, the international school librarians
organization? More info can be found at: http://www.iasl-online.org/

Many of our members are international school folk. We are in the process of
devising some standards for international schools and IB programs.
