---------------------------------------------------- ChinaResourceNews No.1 http://chinaresource.org/news.htm ---------------------------------------------------- WELCOME Welcome to the first issue of ChinaResourceNews, the newsletter of the European Center for Digital Resources in Chinese Studies. This is the first of an initial set of newsletters published in close succession and containing all news items that have appeared since the official establishment of ChinaResource.org last month. After this initial set future newsletters will be sent out only when new resources or services are to be introduced. We would be extremely grateful for suggestions of important resources, digital, filmed, or printed, which might have come to your attention and which you feel ChinaResource.org should have or have a link to. We also would much appreciate comments and criticisms as well as suggestions for improvement. This is a service institution, and it will fulfill this function the better the more you help us improve it. With kind regards, Rudolf G. Wagner ChinaResource.org -- Director ********************************************* Contents: 1. Digital Archive: Access policy 2. EVOCS: New library added 3.
