This article aims to examine the definition and history of the International Comparative Librarianship (ICL). The ICL has been developed since the 1960's supported by the library assistance of US for the developing countries. In the 1960's, American library consultants published their articles and books, referring to their work experiences in Southeast Asian countries. They are the first ICL studies in the library and information science (LIS) field. Instead of Americans, some Asian students started the ICL study and earned Ph. D of US graduate schools in the 1970's. At present, many Asian scholars have been contributing to the development of ICL study, particularly at the field of international cooperation of LIS education.
