Being a research institution in China, CAAS have huge amount of research information and data both published formally or informally. Such valuable research outcomes needs to be shared among each other in China and with users abroad for a developemnt of agriculture.  To share or federate our publications' metadata with others can be the first step.  We believe that all agri libraries or information centers would like to share their information with others and this is the mutual goal for us for years.  However,  proper mechanisms and pathways are very much needed and necessary to do so. Now, CIARD is a significant starting point to reach the goal.  We  hope that through the platform of CIARD RING, we may realize the expected dream of information sharing globally.
