It is very fortunate for me to work with a group of enthusiastic and passionate members from academic and research libraries around the globe. During my 1st term (2013-2017), I was privileged to serve as a member of the Selection Panel (Asia) of the ARL attendance award (2014-15), an organizing committee member of the ARL Satellite Meeting 2017 in Berlin, and the coordinator of the discussion series on Trends of Academic and Research libraries. Apart from these, I am able to connect and collaborate LIS professionals in Greater China and other Asian countries with colleagues from other part of the world through ARL. It would be an honor to help further develop this connection and collaboration in the next four years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ifla.org\/arl\/files\/2017\/03\/Photo_Leo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-353\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.ifla.org\/arl\/files\/2017\/03\/Photo_Leo-209x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ifla.org\/arl\/files\/2017\/03\/Photo_Leo-209x300.jpg 209w, https:\/\/blogs.ifla.org\/arl\/files\/2017\/03\/Photo_Leo.jpg 635w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Selected Conference Papers<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Ma, Leo F.H., Ling Ling Yu (2016). \u201cThe Quality Assurance System of HKUSPACE: The Implementation of the Collaborative Programmes on Library and Information Studies of Charles Sturt University\u201d.
