Announcement:
„Digital Resources on Premodern China: 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.
9-11 October 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 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.
