Computerization of Library and Information Services in Mainland China.
Lin, Sharon Chien
Microcomputers for Information Management, v11 n1 p41-54 Mar 1994
Describes two phases of the automation of library and information services in mainland China. From 1974-86, much effort was concentrated on developing computer systems, databases, online retrieval, and networking. From 1986 to the present, practical progress became possible largely because of CD-ROM technology; and large scale networking for international connection is now well underway.
