SIS Faculty lectures in Japan |
||
The LIS program in Nagoya is one of three in Japan; the other two are at Keio University and at the University of Tsukuba. Her visit was hosted by Professor Atsutake Nozoe, a regular visitor to SIS since the 1990s; he has arranged talks for Dr. Detlefsen on her five previous trips to Japan. While on this trip, she also spoke in Tokyo, at a meeting of the Kanto Chapter of the Japan Medical Library Association, presenting a lecture on the informationist. SIS alumna Makiko Miwa (now a professor at the National Institute of Multimedia Education in Japan) was in attendance at the Tokyo lecture, as were several other visitors to SIS, most notably Midori Ichiko and Yukiko Sakai, of the Keio University Medical Library. Ichiko and Sakai have both visited at the Falk Library of Health Sciences Library System. |
