China Society for Library Science Conferences, Guilin, China
Call for Papers

You are cordially invited to participate and/or to present paper(s) at the following conferences and Post-Conference Cultural Tour to be held in China in 2005. As in the past few years, the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) will form a Delegation to participate in these activities. These Conferences provide forums to share the latest developments in library and information services and also provides great opportunities to build librarian-to-librarian friendship with our Chinese counterparts. It is an excellent opportunity to visit beautiful and fascinating places, to enjoy folk dances and songs and to taste the delicious local Chinese cuisine. These conferences also offer practical ideas for building partnerships, for digital library, for adding proven programs to a library's services, and for fostering library cooperation. Besides, you have a chance to win one of the 2005 CSLS Best Papers Award. Participants go home with delighted hearts and souls enriched ! from their experiences after attending conferences in China.
