The Chinese Information Literacy Association(CILA) was founded on January 4, 2003 by the enthusiastic support and full participation of many people. It is my honor to be elected as chairman of the board that upholds my responsibility to help achieve our goals in the future.

Education nowadays not only is a traditional literacy program, it also helps equip learners with competencies for recognizing needed information, effective searching, judging and synthesizing, rather than being driven by proliferating information. We hope to strategically develop the ability of critical thinking for people and prepare them for independent learning capabilities to improve competitive advantage while facing this dynamic changing environment.

I sincerely invite all of you to join CILA and support our researches, activities, events, and promotion for the development of information literacy in education and in the work place. With your efforts, I expect a thriving future for the next generation.
