Discussion Questions

1) What role does cultural context play in your own information research and/or practice? 2) How does local, regional, national, or even global information policy affect your work? 3) How can we encourage our students, colleagues, and clients to adopt an informed personal philosophy of globalization? 4) How can we work to broaden ASIS&T’s international membership and reach?
