CUNY-Shanghai Library Faculty ExchangeFall 2011

Part I

The Libraries

As Ryan Phillips of CUNY’s Baruch College describes the libraries of China after his Spring 2011 residency:

“A lot [of] representatives of the libraries…would speak in superlatives. This in a country that has plenty to boast about in regards to the largest this, the tallest that, the longest whatchamacallit, the oldest such and such and the biggest what’sit. Especially in the wake of the Beijing Olympics and the Shanghai World Expo, the grandness of the public projects is on peoples’ minds. Scale and size is a persistent topic.”
