After all, it is important for one to inherit one's culture by maintaining one's own language. Areas for further study are also suggested. Promotion in the form of display is often effective. Other outreaching promotional activities include advertisements in the newsletters of Chinese community clubs and organisations. A simple advertisement in Chinese and English could also be posted on Asian food shop windows or Chinese restaurant notice boards.
More thought also needs to be given to the location of the Chinese collection in the library.
At present it is situated behind a pillar with no signs whatever to indicate its location. Relocation to a more open space would increase awareness and use of the materials. As for relocating the entire Chinese collection, there is no information available to indicate which branch would be the most suitable. Signs also need to be placed near the front door and the reference desks to provide clear directions. Since the provision of Chinese script on the OPAC is out of the question in the near future, a separate hand-written or computer printed Chinese catalogue is a practical alternative.
