The Information Industry in China: What YOU Want and Need to Know
China cannot be ignored. It is predicted that by the year 2050 it will have the world’s largest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and could surpass the U.S. as early as 2039. The percentage of Chinese-language articles and patents is already increasing while the percentage of similar English language documents is in decline. And the China online service, Baidu.com, Inc., has 5.2% of the worldwide search engine market - third only to Google and Yahoo! What does this mean for you as an information or information technology provider or even as a librarian or information professional who has to provide access to the world’s key information? This seminar will provide an interactive and intimate setting to learn about current trends in the Chinese Information Industry, the opportunities and challenges that it offers, and the requirements for success in that geographic arena. The resources available for intellectual property protection and enforcement will also be presented and discussed with ample time for asking questions throughout the program.
