The Absence Of Public Libraries In Imperial China: A Consequence Of Chinese Writing, Junli Diao
Publications and Research
The purpose of this article is to explore Chinese writing and its connection with libraries in Imperial China. From the perspective of analyzing Chinese writing and its cultural, social and political impact, this article attempts to deliver a tentative and speculative exploration concerning why public libraries did not automatically emerge from Chinese civilization.

It particularly focuses on the discussion of how “public” …
Religious Studies Encyclopedism: A Recent History, Mark E. Eaton
Religious Studies Encyclopedism: A Recent History, Mark E. Eaton
Publications and Research
As academic reference librarians, we need to historically situate the reference sources we use within changing scholarly disciplines.
