<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>, Mar.19th, 2004: China Academic Humanities and Social Sciences<br />

Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education to organize higher school libraries, which were preponderant in<br />

academic subjects, literature resources and service conditions, to provide<br />

higher-level literatures for all the national higher schools and research institutes.<br />

Until February <strong>of</strong> 2004, the database had owned more than 720,000 items from over<br />

1,500 magazines after 1984. Generally speaking, the national center <strong>of</strong> CASHL will<br />

send the whole literature within one to three days in response to the requests <strong>of</strong><br />

readers.<br />

The shortage <strong>of</strong> humanities materials and literatures before would be lessened with<br />

the use <strong>of</strong> CASHL and the national center would shoulder the responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the<br />

layout, harmonious work and management for the literature center, pointed out Yuan<br />

Guiren in the conference. It was reported that the national center was set at <strong>Peking</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> and Fudan <strong>University</strong>, while regional centers were in Wuhan <strong>University</strong>,<br />

<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> would support the program <strong>of</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education<br />

wholeheartedly and we hoped that all the national higher schools and research<br />

institutes would cooperate together, expressed Xu Zhihong, president <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peking</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong>.<br />

The startup conference was presided by pr<strong>of</strong>essor Dai Longji, curator <strong>of</strong> the library,<br />

<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong>. After the conference, principals <strong>of</strong> Ministry <strong>of</strong> Education, <strong>Peking</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> and all the national higher schools and research institutes also<br />
