LIB-CHINESE Discussion List

Libraries with collections of Chinese materials have for years faced unique challenges in providing information access. Despite rapid advances in information science, and increasing technology convergence, little progress has been made on fundamental issues affecting Chinese information processing.

This intensive seminar will bring researchers, vendors and users with different backgrounds together to find solutions to the Chinese automation issues facing libraries today. We hope the seminar will lead to specific action, and the implementation of these solutions for the benefit of us all.

Date : 22-23 January 1998

Venue :

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
Clear Water Bay, Kowloon.
