Features: This collection of essays includes the first prize papers from the 2006 annual conference of the Chinese Library Association. A harmonious society is necessarily one where politics, economy, and culture develop in coordination. Libraries are important cultural facilities and social organizations that promote excellent national culture and build new culture. Libraries are also crucial institutions for collecting, integrating, and disseminating information and intelligence, playing an increasingly important role in economic development. Libraries are even a place for lifelong education of the public, possessing unique functions and roles in improving the cultural quality of the entire nation and promoting the comprehensive development of individuals. In the process of building a harmonious society, libraries are playing an increasingly important role. For this reason, the theme of the 2006 annual conference of the Chinese Library Association was determined as "Library Development and the Construction of a Harmonious Society." Since the call for papers was issued in December 2005, within a short period of two months, a total of 1,195 papers were submitted. The 71 papers included in this collection are the result of a rigorous selection process by the expert review committee, which underwent initial, secondary, and final evaluations.
