I lectured in library science at Wuhan University Library (Wuhan, PRC) in Fall 2002. The librarians and faculty and graduate students in the Library Science Dept. there are very knowledgable of the latest theories and professional issues. The books there are housed in closed stacks. That library did not offer what we in the United States think of as reference service. The "reference office" was in a rather "out-of-the-way" location and consisted of approx. 15 people sitting at computer work stations. They assist patrons via telephone, e-mail and online chat. Faculty members made appointments with people in that department and received research service. Wuhan University Libraries offer a wide variety of databases to their users and they are all linked to the library's home page. There are some articles about libraries in China that can be found by searching library and information science databases.

It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." - William Shakespeare __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org//membership.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Kerri Scannell) at: [log in to unmask]
