| Details | Don Brown had background as a journalist, was in charge of Japan's media policy during the postwar occupation as the head of the Information Division of CIE, and also emphasized libraries as one of the channels for spreading democratic thought. He was actively involved in the establishment of the CIE Library from the early stages of the occupation, and his understanding of the training of Japanese librarians directly led to the establishment of the JLS. The establishment of the JLS was a major milestone in the development of library education and the training of librarians in Japan. |
