LAMOST Quasar Survey
  The main objective of the Chinese LAMOST spectroscopic quasar survey is to
discover 0.4 million new quasars from 1 million quasar candidates brighter than
the magnitude limit i=20.5 in the next 5 years. This will hopefully provide the
largest quasar sample for the further studies of AGN physics and cosmology. The
improved quasar selection criteria based on the UKIDSS near-IR and SDSS optical
colors are presented, and their advantages in uncovering the missing quasars in
the quasar 'redshift desert' are demonstrated. In addition, some recent
discoveries of new quasars during the LAMOST commissioning phase are presented.
