We hope that someday, all libraries can put their CD-ROM databases on the network. Hence, our Library can share the cataloging data of other OCLC members. If not available, then, the only alternative would be to do the original cataloging, the most time-consuming process in cataloging. We hope that in the near future, the information technology in China can catch up, or even surpass that in the developed countries. Scholars around the world will be thrilled to have the access of this invaluable and fascinating information that only China can provide.
Lets look forward to seeing that becomes true.
