Academic libraries in China

Chinese cities: Sheng Zhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Taiyuan, and Qingdao. The main purpose of my visit was to share my American library expe­ rience with my Chinese colleagues. I spent most of the time with the university librarians of these cities and lived in the campus housing for foreign profes­ sors and visitors. I will first share with you my experience of living on a Chinese campus and, later, some of my impressions of Chinese academic libraries.
