Dr. Mengxiong Liu has been selected as the seminar presenter who will join the first training group to China in May under an IMLS grant — Think Globally, Act Globally. This IMLS grant of $500,000 was granted to the partnership of the Chinese American Librarians Association (CALA) and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, for librarian collaboration and exchange between the United States and China.

This two-year project will involve the professional development programs in the United States and China: 1) sending US librarians to China to provide training seminars; 2) placing Chinese librarians at US institutions around the US to provide opportunities in training and cooperation. For more details about the program, please see Think Globally, Act Globally.

M. Liu teaches INFO 210 References and Information Services at San José State University School of Information. See also Dr. Mengxiong Liu faculty Web page.
