Seasoned consolidators and distributors of information, librarians also bring a unique voice to sustainability councils and committees.

We argue that a model of international education is needed which acknowledges the diverse global community in which institutions are based and learning takes place. In linking leadership and international education, we propose an alternative approach to both based on recognition, reciprocity and responsibility toward others.
