+ OCLC Opens Office in Beijing

OCLC's relationship with libraries in the People's Republic of China began in 1986, when OCLC introduced its CJK system for cataloging Chinese, Japanese and Korean materials. An OCLC Service Center was established at Tsinghua University in 1996, and access to the OCLC FirstSearch online reference service was made available to about 100 academic institutions in China. In 2004, the CALIS (China Academic Library and Information System) consortium, under the leadership of Beijing University, began providing access to a NetLibrary eBook collection for 80 libraries in China.
