Article Type: Editorial From: Library Management, Volume 30, Issue 1/2

The articles which are encased in this double issue were specially selected from the many papers selected for the 4th Shanghai International Library Forum. The papers are all recommended to you, the reader.

Library Management has been very fortunate to have been able to work closely with the Shanghai Library and to be a member of the Forum’s Program Committee. It is a very positive relationship. I would especially like to thank Dr Wu Jianzhong who is the Director of the Shanghai Library. On a day-to-day basis I have had the strong support of Ms Ren Xiapei, who is the Associate Director in the International Cooperation Division, ensuring a smooth translation into the professional literature.

Conferences such as this are building a strong reputation in the region building bridges between the strong library profession in China and that of the Western library literatures. The SILF is to be strongly commended for their vision and energy in creating and nourishing this opportunity for professional exchange.
