For the record, there are now 101 books on this list (2 are forthcoming) and 
20 of them are freely, openly and available on the internet. 


This looks like another interesting book for the Chinese library on the 
list: 

Lundby, Knut (ed.). 2009. Mediatization: Concepts, Changes, Consequences. 
New York, NY: Peter Lang.
