Announcement:

„Modern China Digital Resources: A hands-on workshop.”

Organized by the European Center for Digital Resources in Chinese Studies,
Heidelberg,
at the Institute of Chinese Studies, University of Heidelberg.

24-26 April 2003, Heidelberg, Germany

In the last few years the European Center for Digital Resources in Chinese
Studies has built a library of digital resources. Thanks to generous funding
by the Alfred Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach-Foundation it is now possible to
provide broader access to these database for students and scientists.

The center is organizing a first workshop, which will introduce databases on
modern China. This will include hands-on sessions for each database. 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.

Period for Applications: 3-14 March 2003
Registration fee: 20 €
The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 8.
