Emphasis is placed on the pervasive and unique influence of Chinese cultural concepts on the ideologies and implementation of academic library outreach in the country. The effect of new technologies on Chinese academic library outreach is presented, as is the evolution of the physical spaces in Chinese libraries. Trends and anticipated futures, including the extension of Chinese academic library outreach to the general public, are examined and recommendations made.
