Directory of Chinese Learned Organizations

The Directory of Chinese Learned Organizations (DCLO) is a complete guide to various academic institutions in the People's Republic of China. The entries are grouped into 5 parts: - research and design institutes (2,400 addresses) - universities and colleges (590) - societies and associations (411) - public and special libraries (129) - museums (81) Detailed descriptions furnish each unit's full name and address (both with Chinese translation) and further contact information. Additional information to most entries includes: founding dates, executives, staff/teachers and students/members, divisions and branches, departments and faculties, aims and activities, achievements, facilities and holdings, histories, and more facts which help to match information needs to the appropriate organization. Three indexes enable you to locate organizations in a particular province (municipality/autonomous region), to pinpoint organizations active in a particular field, and to find them by Chinese phonetics (pinyin).
