Subject: 2012 Trip to China and LIS Study Program Opportunities

Are you interested in going to China this summer, learning about
information technology and visiting some of China's most magnificent
sites?

If you are interested, then the 2-week summer program from the
information and library science school at Southern Connecticut State
University may be for you. The course is following up on previous
study abroad programs and opening up enrollment to graduates and
students from other schools. Participants fly out of JFK airport on
July 11 and return July 24. The trip cost is $3215, which includes
round trip air fare from JFK, bed and breakfast at the International
dormitory of a Beijing university, some additional meals and all
tours, including the National Library, National Science Library,
Peking University Library, as well as library and information science
schools in Beijing. Cultural tours provided to the Forbidden City, the
Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Ming Tombs, and The Temple of
Heaven.

In addition, if you are interested in taking an ALA-approved graduate
school course, you may enroll as a special graduate or undergraduate
student at Southern Connecticut State University¹s School of
Information and Library Sciences. The course number and title:
ILS630/ILS499: Seminar of International & Comparative Librarianship.
Not including the course, the trip and tours are also open to high
school graduates above age 18.

To reserve a spot, email Dr. Yan Q. Liu, liuy1 at southernct.edu. For
more information about trip and course, plus, videos from 2011, go to:

Payment Schedule: This program fee does not include tuition and
medical care while abroad, laundry, snacks, personal items,
recreational activities, souvenirs or any additional expenses that
alter itinerary or arrangements. The cost of obtaining a valid
passport, visa and textbooks are also participants' responsibility.
Dining is very reasonable in China; plan to spend about $15 to $25 per
day on meals.

A non-refundable deposit $500 (check or payment to ³SCSU Program in
China²) is due upon application. This guarantees your participation in
the program and reserves your room. A second payment of $2000 is due
on
May 25, 2012. The remainder of the balance is due no later than June 25, 2012.

Many thanks,
