I was then a visiting scholar at UIUC, sponsored by the Freeman Foundation. That was my first date with community informatics (CI). In November 2010, Kate and her husband, Abdul Alkalimat, led their CI team to Beijing to attend COINFO‘10 and an information science forum held by the Department of Information Management at Peking University (PKU). I took part in both events, so I had the opportunity to communicate with the CI researchers from the US and learn more about CI. CI was a new field in China. There was very little related research other than what Dr. Yan had done in his PhD dissertation, and CI did not exist in any curricula in any universities by then. The idea of holding a CI summer school came to my mind. During their stay in Beijing, I brought up this idea to Kate and Abdul and invited them to come again and teach during the next summer. I was so glad that they took the invitation without any hesitation. Then, all that left for me to do was to find enough money for this. This idea was strongly supported by the executive group of the department of information management. I started writing proposals in December 2010. There were several directions at first, but none of them turned out to be feasible. On January 6, 2011, Professor Zhou, the associate dean of our department, mailed me about a project of the Ministry of Education, concerning the innovative education of graduate students. He suggested that I try this project. I submitted the application form immediately, and then came spring festival and winter break in China. After months of waiting, on April 19 I got the approval notification from the graduate school. My email flew to UIUC at once to tell Kate and Abdul the good news! I set up a website for the CI Summer School and put an ad out on the internet in no time. May and June are graduation season for China‘s universities, so I was a little afraid that there might not be enough students. Actually, I worried too much. We got 39 students‘ applications by the deadline, which was June 10. Thirty-five students registered on July 3, and 2 more registered later, so we finally recruited 37 students, who came from 18 institutions all over China. After all the efforts we made together, the summer school successfully concluded on July 27. This volume is the outcome of the students‘ excellent field studies, and also a good reference and demonstration for community informatics in China. BTW, since the fund from the Ministry of Education is limited, the 2011 CI summer school at Peking University is fully funded by the graduate school of Peking University. Han Shenglong August 1, 2011 @Changchunyuan, PKU 7 8 Guest Lecturer’s Preface YAN Hui 闫慧 Assistant Professor, Nankai University, [email protected] What you‘re going to read here is the very first collection of students‘ research projects about community informatics phenomena in Mainland China, from the 2011 Community Informatics Summer School at Peking University (CISS@PKU). CISS@PKU is supported by the Ministry of Education and the PKU Graduate School, led and operated by Professor Han Shenglong, one of the associate professors in the PKU Department of Information Management, and taught by Professor Abdul Alkalimat, Kate Williams and me. It‘s my great pleasure to serve as pipeline for collaborations in community informatics research, teaching, and practice between P. R. China and the United States. In November 2006, during his Information Services course, after my presentation of research on community information services, Professor Chen Jianlong suggested that I read more materials on community informatics research abroad. That‘s the first time I learned that community informatics is an emerging field, closely related to my interests. When China Scholarship Council (CSC) under the Ministry of Education announced its funding plan for scholars to visit world-class universities and fields at the end of 2007, I got touch with Abdul and then Kate via the GSLIS website and email without any hesitation. Although I had no acquaintance with CI in other countries, and didn‘t know that there were some scholars at UIUC interested in China for a long time, Kate invited me to become a visiting student in their Community Informatics Research Lab only a couple of hours after my inquiry email. My friends and colleagues always say that this was a miracle among applications for studying opportunities overseas, I never crossed any two of my fingers before that surprising invitation. With the joint supervision of Prof Kate Williams, Abdul Alkalimat and Lai Maosheng, I finished my doctoral dissertation on digital inequality in Chinese communities, which is regarded as the very first community informatics research in Mainland China and the first achievement from the collaboration between PKU and UIUC on CI. Fortunately, more actions on CI collaboration were taken after a few months. I organized the CI Lab @ UIUC‘s first (although not perfect) China trip in November 2010, my course about Internet and Community Informatics was first offered during the academic year 2010-2011 at Nankai University, and finally the main event: 2011CISS@PKU was totally successful this summer. We‘re hitting the road. Better late than never. Marked by 2011CISS@PKU, community informatics begins to take root in the Chinese context. Thirty-seven more seeds are being planted here and furthermore the nine public computing sites field study reports are absolutely the first fruits. Please taste and spread. Truly I hope community informatics can make a great difference toward a harmonious and equal information society in China. 9 10 Introduction Abdul ALKALIMAT 阿布杜·阿克利马 Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, [email protected] Kate WILLIAMS 凯特·威廉姆斯 Assistant Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, [email protected] Introduction We introduce

This study surveys 83 Chinese students and scholars after they returned from studying at universities in the United States to measure and document their satisfaction with the library services and resources they used during their study abroad. Results of the survey are analyzed with the goal of benchmarking and improving services for this growing library user population in the United States. Keywords: U.S. academic libraries; Chinese exchange students; Chinese scholars; Services; International students; Resources Introduction/Background Universities and colleges in the United States have seen a rapid increase in recent years in enrollment numbers of students from China. According to the Open Doors Data (Institution of International Education, 2012), there was a total of 764,495 international students from over two hundred countries studying in the United States in the 2011-2012 school year.

    The Challenges of Textbook Access at Chinese Transnational Universities 20.4

    FEATURE: GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES The Challenges of Textbook Access at Chinese Transnational Universities 20.4. Congjin Ran, Le Yang, and Qianyu Jin portal abstract: Unlike students in traditional Chinese universities using textbooks published in China, students in transnational universities face unresolved issues in the acquisition and distribution of imported English language textbooks. The challenges, which have persistedpublication, for over a decade, include delays in delivery caused by international shipment, fluctuationfor of currency exchange rates, the uncertainty of customs clearance, the financial burden of unclaimed inventory, and the increasing price of textbooks. The practice and success of the open educational resources (OER) movement, which seeks to make learning materials freely available online for everyone to use, provided inspiring ideas to librarians struggling with textbook acquisitions at transnational universities. This article explains the textbook difficulties that areaccepted commonly faced by the community of transnational universities and how librarians integrated OER to improve student access to course books at Wenzhou-Kean University in Wenzhou, anda city near the east coast of China. The study aims to present best practices for peer institutions on the use of OER textbooks from the perspective of transnational university academic libraries. edited, copy Introduction ransnational universities are higher education programs initiated by the Ministry of Education of China that are cooperative on three different levels: the university level,T which is an independent campus in China; the institute level, which is project- based withinreviewed, a traditional China-based university; and the degree level, which refers to joint degree programs between China and foreign campuses.1 There are currently nine transnationalpeer universities that hold independent legal status in China.

R. China Abstract: Medical information resource development, which is an important basis of medical treatment, teaching and scientific research in the national health system and is also one of the criteria in evaluating the level of the national health science development, has already become a significant integral part to improve the development and innovation of health science. During the past twenty years, in order to ensure the prosperous development of health science, medical libraries and medical information institutes in China have made great achievements in the development and utilization of medical information resource, which have effectively met the basic biomedical information needs of clinicians and biomedical researchers. However, due to shortage of subscribing fee for medical literature in most medical libraries and information institutes in China, the development of medical information resource in this country is lagging behind that of the developed countries. This inequality regarding the access to medical information has been disadvantageous to clinicians and biomedical researchers in China. According to the results of an investigation into Chinese scientists by China Strategic Research Group of Scientific Development, 58.4% of the Chinese scientists questioned thought that it was difficult for them to access the recent medical literature.

    Roots of Tomorrow's Digital Divide: Documenting Computer Use And

    China & World Economy / 61–79, Vol. 21, No. 3, 2013 61 Roots of Tomorrow’s Digital Divide: Documenting Computer Use and Internet Access in China’s Elementary Schools Today Yihua Yang,a Xiao Hu,b Qinghe Qu,b Fang Lai,c, d Yaojiang Shi,e, * Matthew Boswell,c Scott Rozellec Abstract This paper explores China’s digital divide, with a focus on differences in access to computers, learning software, and the Internet at school and at home among different groups of elementary school children in China. The digital divide is examined in four different dimensions: (i) between students in urban public schools and students in rural public schools; (ii) between students in rural public schools and students in private migrant schools; (iii) between migrant students in urban public schools and migrant students in private migrant schools; and (iv) between students in Han-dominated rural areas and students in areas inhabited by ethnic minorities. Using data from a set of large-scale surveys in schools in different parts of the country, we find a wide gap between computer and Internet access of students in rural areas and those in urban public schools. The gap widens further when comparing urban students to students from minority areas. The divide is also large between urban and rural schools when examining the quality of computer instruction and access to learning software. Migration does not appear to eliminate the digital divide, unless migrant families are able to enroll their children in urban public schools. The digital divide in elementary schools may have implications for future employment, education and income inequality in China.

  • Academic Libraries in China: Current Status and Issues

    Academic Libraries in China: Current Status and Issues

    Academic Libraries in China: Current Status and Issues Zhan Hu Introduction China is a latecomer in establishing academic libraries as compared to the counterparts in western countries. However, in the recent 30 years, impressive progresses have been achieved to transfer the academic libraries from the traditional model of material-preserving-oriented, closed-stacked, and passive service to a model that is suitable to modern day university library users, which is a combination of more accessible collections, personalized service and updated information technologies. The decade from 1978 to 1988 witnessed the revitalization and standardization of academic libraries in China, and modernization in all-aspects followed in the 1990s. Academic libraries in China expanded significantly in building sizes, collection volume and library services to meet the increasing and evolving needs of Library users. Despite all the great achievements, it’s still a long way to perfection, if there ever exists such state, and various issues and obstacles persist. This paper reviews the accomplishment achieved, and exams challenges that the academic libraries in China are facing nowadays, particularly in providing effective user services to achieve more efficient and effective utilization of library resources. Part I is a brief overview of the development of the Chinese academic libraries in the past 30 years, with each decade serving its own purposes and combating unique challenges. Part two exams and illustrates the issues of the Chinese academic libraries in current status. User services and information literacy education is largely overlooked in the previous 30 years of development, and the nasty consequence gradually grows into a unavoidable obstacle on the way to further development.

Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-100423 The Digital Divide This book provides an in-depth comparative analysis of inequality and the stratification of the digital sphere. Grounded in classical sociological theories of inequality, as well as empirical evidence, this book defines “the digital divide” as the unequal access and utility of internet communications technologies and explores how it has the potential to replicate existing social inequalities, as well as create new forms of stratification. The Digital Divide examines how various demographic and socio-economic factors including income, education, age and gender, as well as infrastructure, products and services affect how the internet is used and accessed. Comprised of six parts, the first section examines theories of the digital divide, and then looks in turn at: • Highly developed nations and regions (including the USA, the EU and Japan); • Emerging large powers (Brazil, Russia, India, China); • Eastern European countries (Estonia, Romania, Serbia); • Arab and Middle Eastern nations (Egypt, Iran, Israel); • Under-studied areas (East and Central Asia, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa).
