Description

This book discusses the development of library and information services in China and the effect of the nation's political and social conditions on that develpment.

The author briefly reviews the history of Chinese libraries and librarianship, then describes Chinese library services in the first half of the 20th century.

The remarkable consequences of the ideological change after the Communist takeover are described in a concise manner, but the focus of this book is the massive modernization movement that has taken place since 1978. This unique book has been prepared based on data collected directly from Chinese professional journals.

In addition, it provides unusual detailed information from sources obtained during the author's extensive official visits to libraries and library schools in China.

For the first time, these details are now easily accessible in one comprehensive volume.
