Congratulations to LiLi Li on his New Book !
Our Chapter member, Mr. Lili Li, who is currently acting as the Vice President of CALA SE Chapter, has recently published a new book "Emerging Technologies for Academic Libraries in the Digital Age" (Chandos Publishing (Oxford) Ltd, 2008).
Here's an excerpt from the Editorial Reviews: "This book is written to promote academic strategic management and envision future innovations for academic library resources, services and instructions in the digital age. It provides academic executives, consultants, instructors, IT specialists, librarians, LIS students, managers, trainers and other professionals with the latest information for developing trends of emerging technologies applied to student-centred and service-oriented academic learning environments."
Congrats Lili!!
Welcome Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee to the SE Chapter!
The SE Chapter is privileged to have Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee, former Chief of the Asian Division at the Library of Congress, and Dean Emeritus of Ohio University Libraries, join our chapter as a life member of CALA upon his recent relocation to Jacksonville, Florida from Washington, DC.
Dr. Lee is a name not only familiar to the Chinese American librarian community, but to many librarians across cultural and national boundaries. In his over 40 year career as a librarian, Dr. Lee has held many positions, working through the ranks from an acquisitions librarian at the University of Pittsburgh to become the first among very few Chinese American librarians to serve as the dean of a major acdamic library. After his retirement from Ohio University, Dr. Lee assumed the position of Chief of the Asian Division of Library of Congress in 2003 and held this distinguished position till the March of 2008.
Welcome, Dr. Lee! We sincerely wish you and your family enjoy the beautiful sunshine in Florida and believe that our relatively young chapter will benefit immensely from your membership in the days to come! (Some content excerpted from Dr. Lee's curriculum vitae posted on the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) website : http://www.uscc.gov/bios/2005bios/05_09_15bios/lee_hwa-wei.htm)

SE Members at 2007 ALA Annual
At the 2007 ALA annual conference, Li Zhang from Mississippi State University Libraries met Haipeng Li, the immediate past president of CALA. Zhang reported the progress of the newly established CALA Southeast Chapter, including its new Web site, recruitment efforts, and potential programs.
At the conference, Zhang displayed two poster sessions that received very positive responses. She also had a chance to get to know a librarian from Florida State University Libraries. Although currently a non-CALA member, the Florida librarian expressed her interest in CALA programs that would help her network with other colleagues and enhance her job performance.
Three members from our chapter had a wonderful gathering on Sunday, June 24. Involved in different aspects of academic librarianship, the members introduced themselves and discussed what were happening in their libraries. The discussion allowed each librarian to better understand current trends and issues. Most importantly, they brought back with support and closer friendship.
