Thanks to generous funding by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Foundation it is now possible to provide broader access to these databases for students and scholars. The center is organizing a workshop, which will introduce databases on Premodern China as well as research tools for locating and accessing scholarly studies in this field. This will include hands-on sessions for each resource. We especially encourage M.A. students, Ph.D.-candidates and post-docs to apply for this workshop. Participants will have enough time for individual research in the digital and printed resources of our library. There will be an introduction to the library of the Institute of Chinese Studies by Thomas Kampen. Deadline for Applications: 8 September, 2003 Registration fee: 30 € The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 8. Applications will be handled on a first come first serve basis.
