A Branch Apart: East Asian Collections In A Research Library Context, Diane E. Perushek Dec 1993

A Branch Apart: East Asian Collections In A Research Library Context, Diane E. Perushek

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Much has been written in library literature of late about access and ownership and how libraries should respond organizationally to the new role libraries are developing to meet the dual challenges of pervasive information technology and reduced budgets. There are repeated calls for libraries to give customized service, be intimately aware of users' needs and deliver documents at the point of use. In an article on the efficacy of branch libraries entitled "Organization Misfits," it is posited that departmental (or "branch") libraries, due to their size and flexibility, can provide models for this type of service with little change to …

The East Asian Library In The Twenty-First Century, Izumi Koide Dec 1993

The East Asian Library In The Twenty-First Century, Izumi Koide

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Celebrating the one-hundredth issue of the CEAL Bulletin is, I believe, a good opportunity to think about the future of the East Asian library. This essay is, however, not to forecast the future course of the East Asian library, but rather to present a vision, or to throw out some thoughts on desirable future developments in the East Asian library.

A Decade Of Rlin Cjk, Karen Smith-Yoshimura

Journal of East Asian Libraries

September 12, 1993, marked a full decade of the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) Chinese-Japanese-Korean (CJK) enhancements. When the Research Libraries Group, Inc., (RLG) introduced the CJK enhancements to R U N ten years ago, catalogers of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean language materials for the first time could create cataloging records with CJK scripts that could be copied by other libraries and viewed by researchers across the country. Since the Library of Congress (LC), Columbia, Princeton, and Stanford created those first CJK records, the number of CJK records in the RLIN database has grown to 1,201,421 (as of June 30, …

The Founding Of The Harvard-Yenching Library, Eugene W. Wu Dec 1993

The Founding Of The Harvard-Yenching Library, Eugene W. Wu

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Three separate events, spanning almost half a century, made possible the creation of an East Asian collection at Harvard which was to develop into a preeminent library for East Asian research in the West. They were the introduction of Chinese in Harvard's curriculum in 1879, the decision of A. Kaiming Chiu to come to Harvard for graduate study in 1925, and the establishment of the Harvard-Yenching Institute in 1928.

Developing New Japanese Collections And Services At The University Of California, San Diego, 1988-1993, Eiji Yutani

Journal of East Asian Libraries

March 15 of this year marked the fifth anniversary of my arrival at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). On a bright, warm spring day in 1988,1 moved to the arid, scenic suburban La Jolla campus from the equally beautiful and balmy city of Berkeley where I had worked as a Japanese bibliographer for the century-old University of California, Berkeley (UCB) Library for two and a half decades. The past five years here in southern California have been one of the finest chapters of my professional life — perhaps the last — and a truly fascinating one. As I …


Late Bloom In The Desert: The East Asian Library Collection And Services At Arizona State University, Ai-Hwa Wu Dec 1993

Late Bloom In The Desert: The East Asian Library Collection And Services At Arizona State University, Ai-Hwa Wu

Journal of East Asian Libraries

Unlike the majority of East Asian library collections which were established with the full support and well thought-out plans from the library administration, the East Asian collection at ASU started in 1968 with a somewhat make-do arrangement. There was no librarian hired or designated to take charge of the basic library functions of East Asian language materials; the cataloging responsibility for these materials was added to the duties of a catalog librarian who happened to have a Chinese language background and was given an assistant who knew the Japanese and Korean languages.

From Central Asia To London: The Stein Collection Of Manuscripts, Frances Wood Dec 1993

From Central Asia To London: The Stein Collection Of Manuscripts, Frances Wood

Journal of East Asian Libraries

In 1941, just before World War II began, some 30,000 volumes of rare books were shipped from China to the United States for safekeeping and microfilming. This was an important event in the history of Sino-American cultural relations and also for international sharing of Chinese rare resources, yet very few people know the story of how these rarities were able to cross the Pacific Ocean during a time of world crisis. Twenty-six years later, I recalled this incident in an article in memory of the late Dr. T. L. Yuan revealing how Irisked my life in order to accomplish this …


On The Development Of The Institute Of Chinese Studies Library At Heidelberg University, Thomas H. Hahn Dec 1993

On The Development Of The Institute Of Chinese Studies Library At Heidelberg University, Thomas H. Hahn

Journal of East Asian Libraries

My initial thought about what to contribute to this commemorative issue included such matters as International Interlibrary Loan (IILL), resource sharing, shared cataloging projects and, in general, defining proper fields of cooperation between the European Association of Sinological Librarians (EASL) and the Committee on East Asian Libraries. Since these matters were already voiced and discussed during EASL's visit to Washington and other Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) libraries in April 1992,1 (as chairman of EASL) decided not to repeat them again. However, it goes without saying that these issues should not be dropped or neglected and it is my sincere …
