British Library sets sights on the East – Anushka Asthana

From The Guardian (link):

China and India – already braced to become two of the world’s greatest economic powers – are now expected to become two of its most important academic powerhouses.

The British Library – renowned for collecting books, journals and artefacts from across the globe – is set to shift its focus from Western Europe towards China and India, to ensure Britons have access to the most important research.

Staff will outline the new strategy on Tuesday along with their predictions that the two countries could overtake the West as intellectual and cultural hotspots.
