Social Justice in Library and Information Science addresses an urgent need for more credible, accurate, authoritative, authentic, and current experiences about library and information science (LIS) research, practices, policies, and services in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The collection of edited contributions focuses on how social justice and social equity is emerging as a powerful force in shaping contemporary LIS developments in Iran. The experiences capture the complex nuances of intersecting realities in local context, unrepresented voices, and empowering efforts in LIS to overcome marginalizing conditions and circumstances. Chapters include the participatory (and engaging) aspects of LIS (including academic libraries, public libraries, special libraries, LIS education, and more) that document empirical evidence and current scholarship on how progressive institutions and fearless change agents in LIS are promoting social justice outcomes and impacts via information-related work.

This book explores how marketing strategies - used in businesses and organizations - can be applied to promote libraries by placing users at the heart of every decision. It positions the library within a rich and diverse cultural ecosystem that includes bookstores, publishers, professional associations, magazines, and museums. In today's landscape, the user experience (UX), once exclusive to retail and digital industries, is now a shared priority across these sectors, and a key component of modern library marketing. From audience research and satisfaction surveys to loyalty-building strategies, cutting-edge digital tools, and the rise of AI-driven practices, the book examines the evolving face of library marketing. Drawing on insights from experts across Europe (notably the Netherlands) and the French-speaking world (Canada, France, Belgium and Switzerland), it offers a comprehensive and forward-thinking look at the new challenges and opportunities shaping the profession today.
