A number of SACU members are interested in visiting China. SACU pioneered tours to China in the 1970s and 1980s before many tour companies actually went there. The advantage of travelling with SACU members is that you will be in a group comprising people who have a special interest in Chinese people and Chinese culture.
SACU members will be able to see the books during normal working hours. They are being integrated into the Chinese Studies Collection and the East Asian Studies librarian is Gill Goddard (Tel 0114 222 7334). The university central library telephone number is 0114 222 7200 and the head of library services is Martin Lewis. Sheffield University Library is on Western Bank (Sheffield S10 2TN), just west of the city centre and is about 15 minutes walk from the railway station or take bus numbers 51 or 52. During term time the library is open from 9.00 am to 9.30 pm, Monday to Friday. During vacations from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm-late opening on Wed/Thurs to 8.30 pm. Books may be borrowed using the normal inter-library borrowing system, which can be arranged from your local library. You can view the Sheffield University library facilities on www.shef.ac.uk/library/ The Chinese Studies Department has an intake each year of about 20 students, and also has about 20 postgraduates.
