Abstrakt: Initiated in April 2003, the LIPER Project is a three-year research project which aims to study the history, current situation, and future prospects of LIS education, both in Japan and in foreign countries, in order to assess the need for a possible reform of the Japanese LIS education system. This paper describes the background and motivations of the LIPER project and outlines major research activities conducted within the framework of the LIPER project by members of four special teams: namely, the Education Team, the Public Library Team, the Academic Library Team, and the School Library Team.
