The issues faced by Chinese libraries andlibrarians are those faced by library practitioners more globally, however, China also has its own unique set of issues in the digital era, including developmental imbalance between East and West, urban and rural areas, and availability of skilled practitioners. Chinese Librarianship in the Digital Era is the first book on Chinese libraries responding to these issues, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book places discussion in historical context, before moving on to the digital environment of the Chinese library. The book then considers the issue of digital copyright in China, and debates the core values of the Chinese library. The next three chapters cover public and academic libraries, and library consortia. Finally, the book gives a view of the future prospects for libraries in China.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eList of figures and tables\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eList of abbreviations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbout the authors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Historical review of Chinese libraries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe ancient Chinese library\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe modern Chinese library (1840–1999)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe context of era\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: The Chinese library's digital environment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReview of internet development in China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe information content industry\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDigital publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: The digital library in China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eResearch history\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePracticing course\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDigital libraries and traditional libraries – Chinese interpretation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Digital copyright in China and libraries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA brief history of Chinese copyright development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDigital libraries and digital copyright\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe library community’s standpoint on digital copyright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 5: The Tao and utensils debate: the core value of a library\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGenesis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModern China’s political context\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe library’s core value in the Chinese context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 6: Public library: the silhouette of China's social public service\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThree factors pushing the development of the public libraries in China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe layout of public libraries’ service facilities and networks in the digital era\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePublic library’s individual development with digital technology support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe public library digital service is promoted by a national major digital culture project\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDifficulties and the future for China’s public libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 7: Academic libraries: focusing on service\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInfluence of digital technology on academic library\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUniversity library\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecial libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 8: Library consortia in China: cooperation, sharing, and reciprocity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe development of library consortia in China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe characteristics of library consortia in China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCross-system library consortia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNational library consortia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRegional library consortia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 9: Future prospects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFuture librarians – human beings or machines?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreating the future of the library with both Tao and utensils\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReferences\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Library \u0026amp;
