Updated information about China Lib20 Circle

Just replied a friend of a friend of mine who works in the States and got interested in China Lib20 activites. I think the message is useful for most of you who visit this website. So I changed a little and put it here:

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I just came back from Beijing on a "New Tech in Libraries" workshop, also talking a lot about Web 2.0 and Library 2.0. I uploaded my presentation slides on http://www.slideshare.net/keven/. You can take a look (it's in Chinese) if you got interest.

Thank you for your message. I think I put quite a lot information about China Lib2.0 activities in my presentation that I mentioned above. It may not be so clear to you by just seeing these slides. But you can contact me if you got any questions. I strongly recommend you to look at some websites to see what our Chinese librarians are doing towards being 2.0.

They are:

http://cnlib20.ning.com/(this one). This is a so called Chinese Lib2.0 Social Network.
http://www.dlresearch.cn/wg1/. This is a book-writing project that a group of 2.0 enthusiasts plan to do for all Chinese Librarians.
QQ group number(a popular IM tool in China): 27163692. You should download and install the client software to ask for join the group. It's a little bit complicated and need Chinese character support of OS. So I don't think you will join the group. But the discussion in this group is quite hot.
Google group (mailinglist): http://groups.google.com/group/diglib. It's not very active just because I am not so active recently. Maybe we need more people to start some interesting topics. You can join the list to activate it a little.
We sometimes hold voice- or video-conference with Skype, QQ or Seehaha (www.seehaha.com) to discuss emergence topics when any member of us feels need to do so.
The annual confernce of Chinese Library 2.0 Forum has been held twice till now. The websites of the them are: http://info20.blogbus.com/ (2006) and http://you.xmulib.org/(2007). They got links to all kinds of materials, such as video clips, presentation files, discussion text, and so on.

The day before yesterday Shanghai Library Association held a meeting on Library2.0 at Shanghai University. There are tens of librarians from public, academic, university libraries attended the meeting. You can take a look at the record at http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dc5pkqh8_73s6bbk (in Chinese). A few blogs blogged this meeting on their weblogs (you can see them here: http://http://wiki.xmulib.org/rss/ ).
