NEW CONCEPT OF COLLECTION MANAGEMENT: A SURVEY OF LIBRARY SPACE-RELATED ISSUES

Ping Situ The University of Arizona

Abstract

Even though information available in digital format is convenient and valuable, print collections continue to play a very significant role in academic institutions, especially those that have programs requiring non- Romanized script materials. However, due to limited physical space and budgetary resources, the shelving space scarcity has become one of the main collection management problems that many academic libraries have to confront. This article reports on a survey of library space related issues in academic institutions that collect and manage Chinese language materials. The findings and comments from the survey shed light on future collection management options and decisions regarding how to maximize the use of available resources. The results and observations of this study will be of interest to other East Asian Studies (EAS) librarians as well as collection managers who specialize in other area studies. In addition, it is hoped that this paper will stimulate discussion by EAS library communities and library administrators on “ownership” versus “access” of East Asian materials.

Introduction

Physical space shortage, shrinking budgetary resources, and changing customer needs and expectations have pushed many academic libraries to consider using high-density off-site storage facilities for their low- use materials. However, the University of Arizona (UA) Library, which also has a space shortage dilemma, does not plan to use a remote storage option as a solution to their overcrowded stacks. The UA Library is taking other flexible collection management approaches, such as identifying duplicate copies and removing them from the shelves, installing compact shelving, regularly reviewing all approval plan profiles and revising them to reflect a close alignment with the teaching and research needs of faculty and students, and replacing print journals with back-files/archives of full-text electronic journal databases. Although these collection management practices seem reasonable and work for the library as a whole, the author is concerned about possible negative impact to the EAS collections (Chinese in particular) because of their unique nature. East Asian collections in vernacular scripts differentiate themselves significantly from their mainstream Western counterparts in numerous aspects, such as publishing industry, scholarly communication, book-trade, technical processes, as well as licensing and copyright constrains associated with the electronic databases.1 Between May and June 2007, the author conducted a brief survey about library space related issues of 45 academic libraries that have relevant Chinese language collections with the following objectives: a) determining if academic libraries that have Chinese language collections are running out of shelf space; and b) learning what collection management approaches are being taken to accommodate the growing print collections and alleviate or prevent shelf space constraints.

Literature Review

Since few studies have been done on collection growth and management with a focus on East Asian collections, this literature review covers publications on collection management issues and options in general with relation to library physical space challenges in academic institutions. Since the 1970s, due to library physical space shortage and decreasing financial resources, more and more academic libraries have chosen high-density off-site storage options to accommodate their growing print collections (Lougee, 1992).2 Because of increasingly shrinking funds, Reilly (2002) predicts in his study that it will be impractical for individual libraries to preserve heavily redundant and enormous amounts of print collections. Given the magnitude of the information in print format, long-term preservation of even the most critical research materials ought to be a cooperative endeavor.3 Bridegam (2004) recognizes that a collaborative approach to print preservation at the local level was not an option. This was a needed strategy so each collaborating institution could find long-term solutions to their lack of physical space, consistently growing print acquisitions and continuing budget crisis.4 Agee (2007) suggests that in order to alleviate physical

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

space crisis, to avoid unnecessary redundancy in collections and to better meet patrons’ information needs, independent state or regional storage facilities ought to align themselves into national or international network programs. This would allow institutions to maximize the usage of the existing resources of technology and infrastructure.5

According to the 1992 ARL library survey, many libraries indicated that their institutions were developing policies or services that focused on access rather than ownership (Rutstein, 1993).6 The traditional role of librarians as “information collectors” is being challenged by their new positions as “providers of access to information” (Kane, 1997).7 Baldwin (1996) proposes that in this rapidly-advancing digital technology era, what we need to do is not to own every single physical item that our patrons might use, but to provide them with reliable and timely access even though the requested materials are not “owned” or housed in the individual library.8 Roberts (1992) suggests that it is time to reevaluate the value of Interlibrary Loan (ILL)/Document Delivery (DD) services because libraries could generate big savings by cancelling print journals with little usage and guide customers toward friendly and effective ILL/DD services.9 Simpson (1994) suggests that resource sharing with the combination of access and ownership is a possible solution to libraries’ growing demands and shrinking budget because new technology will strengthen and improve access while coordinated acquisition will reinforce ownership.10

Purpose of the Survey

This survey was developed and conducted to: - Determine if shelf space density is a shared problem among academic libraries with Chinese language collections. - Learn successful approaches that libraries are taking to deal with space related issues or to prevent shelf space crowding. - Use the collected data as a useful tool to enhance skills in future collection management activities.

Originality/Value

- Special aspects of East Asian language collections have made these collections significantly different from the mainstream academic collections in Romanized scripts. - A lot has been written about collection management issues and options in general on limited physical space, shrinking funds and advancing digital technology and availability. However, little previous research has investigated how libraries that have East Asian or Chinese language collections are dealing with their pressing shelving space shortage and their unique customers’ needs.

Design/Methodology

The survey questions were developed in April 2007. It was designed to be short, quick and easy to answer. The focus of this study was to determine if shelving space density is an issue in academic libraries that have Chinese language collections in North America (mainly in the United States) and if it is, what strategies are being used to cope with those problems? The author balanced between a web survey and a print survey via email attachment. Using electronic survey tools, such as Survey Monkey, it would be easier to analyze and manipulate data. However, at the end the author chose to conduct the survey via email because it would be difficult to include some of the questions in Survey Monkey.

In May 2007, the questionnaire was sent to three libraries that have strong Chinese language collections as a pilot test to evaluate the clarity of the questions, the validity of the survey and to solicit feedback as well. All three libraries responded in a timely manner and provided very insightful suggestions and helpful comments. The survey was reviewed and revised. A commentary section was added to each questionnaire and some questions were broken up into several smaller parts to avoid potential confusion or misleading results. In order to choose the institutions to receive the survey, the author compiled a list of libraries that have Chinese language collections from the statistical report in the Journal of East Asian Libraries (JEAL).11 As of June 30, 2006, 47 academic libraries in North America reported their Chinese language

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

collection holdings in JEAL. Forty five libraries were chosen from the list. Two libraries were excluded: one having a very small Chinese collection and the other being the library where the author works. The author ensured that the survey was only sent to one librarian who is in charge of the collection per institution. Participants were informed about the purpose of the survey and that their responses would be kept confidential.

The survey was originally scheduled for May 14 to June 4. Many of the librarians were not available during this three-week period, so two extra weeks were added to the original timeline. The return rate was 80% from libraries across North America (three in Canada and 33 in the United States). Results from the data were compiled in an Excel spread sheet.

Results

Geographic Distribution and Shelving Density

A total of 36 libraries (80%) responded to the survey representing academic libraries from private and state-funded institutions in the United States and Canada. Of the 36 respondents, 8% (3) are in Canada and 92% (33) are in the United States. Among the 33 US institutions, 14 are located on the east coast, 10 are on the west coast, and nine libraries are scattered throughout the Midwest, Southern and Rocky Mountain regions. (See Table 1 and Figure 1)

The survey results discovered that over 72% (26) of the participating libraries have reached 70% or higher occupied shelf capacity, over 55% (20) of which have reached 80% or higher shelf density. It is also noted that over 50% of the academic institutions, private or state-funded, are facing an acute space shortage. (See Table 2 and Figure 2)

Twenty one libraries indicate that their Chinese language materials are shelved with other collections while 15 libraries shelve their Chinese language materials separately. Among those 21 libraries, the majority of them interfile their Chinese language collections with Korean or Japanese language materials,

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

or with Chinese Studies materials in western languages. Only two libraries state that their entire Chinese language collections are shelved with all other general collections in the library following the Library of Congress classification system. Survey results reveal that over 50% of the libraries have overcrowded shelving stacks regardless of their shelving choices (interfiling or not). (See Table 3)

Table 4 shows that more libraries are located on the east coast than the west coast or central regions. The libraries on the west enjoy relatively more physical space than the other two groups. The institutions that are from the Midwest, Southern and Mountain states have the most severe space problems.

The first collection development activity for Chinese language materials in an US academic library can be dated back to 1878, when Yale University received a set of Gu jin tu shu ji cheng from one of its students. This master collection is also called Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China, a ten-thousand volume compendium compiled during the Qing Dynasty.12 Since then, other academic libraries in the United States have also started collecting Chinese materials to meet the information needs of their scholars. It is obvious that the academic libraries that established their Chinese collections before 1950 have the strongest and largest collections in the US.13 People would assume that those institutions would suffer more serious space shortage problems than the younger ones. In order to find out whether or not this assumption is true, the author grouped the 33 US libraries into three clusters: the libraries that were established before 1950 (11), between 1950 and 1969 (15) and after 1970 (7). The survey data illustrates that this assumption is incorrect. In fact, based on the survey statistics, this group of organizations has fewer space issues compared to the other two groups. (See Table 5 and Figure 3)

The group of libraries that were established during the 1950s and 1960s are mostly state-funded institutions. This cluster is the largest in size among the three. They have had a longer time to

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

accumulate their collections as opposed to those that were established after the 1970s. Therefore, they have more space shortage problems than their younger counterparts. (See Table 5) However, they also have more crowded stacks than the older institutions due to state budget decline.

Options to Alleviate Space Pressure

Survey data shows clear evidence that offsite storage is the most popular collection management option to alleviate or prevent shelf space shortage in academic institutions. Eighty-one percent of libraries in the survey (29) report that they have remote storage facilities and 19% (9) indicate that they do not have any type of storage service. It is interesting to note that 22 out of 29 libraries that use a storage service indicate that they use the storage option to lessen their space crisis. (See Table 6 and Figure 4)

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

A few libraries comment that their institutions have a storage service, but up until the time of the survey, no Chinese language materials have been stored there. However, due to the growing lack of shelf space, low-used Chinese items will be removed from the stacks and sent to storage very soon. Two libraries state that they do not have a high-density storage facility off-campus at this moment but plan to build one in the near future. Other approaches to obtain more space for new print materials include adding new space in the library building, using compact moveable stacks, weeding duplicate copies and purchasing electronic books (e-books). (See Figure 4)

Results of the survey show that very few libraries offer reading rooms or browsing services in their remote storage facilities. Seventy-six percent of libraries (22) indicate that their turn-around time for retrieving requested items from storage is between 24 and 48 hours. Seventeen percent of libraries (5) say they are able to complete their deliveries in less than 24 hours while one library does not know their turn-around time and another delivers their requested items in three days or longer. (See Figure 5)

It is clearly observed from the survey that weeding/deselecting is not a broadly applied collection management strategy; neither is it a high priority for most of the academic libraries that are running out of shelving space. Sixty-one percent of libraries (22) report that they do not have any written policy concerning weeding of library materials while 33% of them (12) report that they only have a library-wide collection management policy which pertains to deselection-related activities. Six percent of libraries (2) indicate that they have developed some specific criteria with regard to EAS collections. (See Figure 6)

Figure 6 Written Collection Management Policy on Weeding/Deselecting

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

Table 6 and Figure 7 illustrate that 28% of libraries (10) have never done any weeding of their Chinese collections, 19% (7) have weeded at least once in a one to four year period, 22% (8) have weeded their collections at least once in a five to nine year period, 8% (3) perform weeding at least once in over 10 years and 22% of libraries (8) weed their collection on an irregular or as-needed basis, which is not frequent at all.

A few libraries emphasize in their comments that besides pulling little used duplicate materials from the stacks, they do not plan to perform any content weeding, in other words, deselecting unique items from the collection. Most frequently they withdraw low-used or duplicate items from the shelves and send them to their remote storage facilities.

Regarding the question of how a library uses Chinese electronic books or e-books, respondents could select more than one answer. Twenty libraries indicate that they have not purchased electronic books at all. Fourteen libraries state that they use e-books to supplement their existing print materials while 12 libraries

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

say that they utilize them to fill the gap of their print collections. Only four libraries report they are using digital books to replace the print ones. (See Figure 8)

The survey comments uncover some of the reasons why the majority of libraries surveyed have not purchased Chinese e-books. The concerns that most shared are collection policy, cost and technology issues. Many e-book venders offer packages that include titles for general readers, and academic titles only occupy a very small percentage of their inventory. The cost of each e-book is higher than the printed version and the increase of the yearly access fee can be very surprising. Chinese e-books may work smoothly in Chinese computing systems in Asia; however, with our English platform version and our various library computing systems, it may not work well in North America. In addition, not every library has knowledgeable library computing staff members who are experts on both systems.

Conclusion

In common with other types of academic libraries, the survey data demonstrates that organizations with East Asian collections are faced with an acute physical space shortage. Most libraries are running out of shelf space and use their institutional off-site storage as a main alternative to alleviate book storage pressure. Given the unique characteristics of East Asian collections, limited availability of resources in digital format and very different user needs, academic institutions that have EAS programs will continue acquiring, managing and preserving print materials in those languages. However, it becomes a question whether it is necessary and cost efficient to have each institution build and manage their own facilities to store little-used print texts. We know that all the materials sent to the remote facility are of very low usage, which is confirmed by the survey. Why not establish more collaborative activities among East Asian library communities? This would avoid unnecessary redundant efforts and expenses; and with the savings, institutional specialties can be further developed and strengthened.

Off-site storage facilities have satisfied libraries’ space needs for the moment, but the consistent increase in print acquisitions will fill up high-density storage shelves someday. With decreasing financial funds and

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

growing costs in all aspects, it will be a challenging job for each institution, especially those that are state- funded, to maintain individual facilities. In addition, constantly selecting low-used materials from the stacks and preparing them for the storage is also a very time and money consuming task. Therefore, collaborative efforts among institutions are becoming a necessity, not just a nice thing to do. The author strongly believes that it is and will always be the mission of each academic library to build, manage and preserve useful and usable collections in alignment with the research and teaching activities of its institution. However, with the limited physical space and financial resources, it is wise for libraries, especially those that are not very wealthy, to spend more of their resources on access and delivery rather than on items that could be needed “just in case.” Reliable and efficient interlibrary loan and document delivery services with cooperative agreements among libraries of common interest could be a possible alternative to relieving the critical shortage of space while providing access to research materials that the individual institution does not own. This interlibrary cooperation would free many libraries from the need to maintain every title their researchers may need.14

LLOLI: LANGUAGE LEARNING ORIENTED LIBRARY INSTRUCTION

Guo-hua Wang Emory University

Introduction

The purpose of library instruction is to introduce library resources to users and teach them techniques to effectively retrieve desired information from these resources. In American universities, we usually conduct library instruction for students in English in an instructional class format. However, the emerging globalization of higher education, the ever increasing collections of foreign language materials, and the rapid development of advanced digital technology suggest that we devise new ways of conducting library instructions.

Background

Universities in the United States have become globalized. They attract students from all over the world with different religious, cultural, and language backgrounds. At the same time, these academic institutions also reach out to the world by establishing various area study programs. These programs teach students various cultures, political systems, and languages, with a particular emphasis on a specific region or country. Area studies have become an integral part of academic disciplines in American higher education. One unique feature of these area study programs is that they often involve the use of native languages for primary materials from the region. In order to support and promote these area studies, university libraries build foreign language collections with materials specifically geared towards such needs. For example, to support Chinese Studies program, we collect materials related to China in English as well as in Chinese for scholars and students of Chinese Studies. In like manner, library collections are developed in other languages for respective area studies programs, such as Japanese, Korean, and Russian.

In 2005, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) Executive Committee established the ALCTS Task Force on Non-English Access with the following charge:

“The Task Force shall examine ALA’s past, present, and potential future roles in enabling access to library resources in all languages”(1) with the hope to “get these materials into the hands of users”(2).

The fast development of information technologies greatly speeds up this process. Digitalization, scanning technology, and Unicode have transformed thousands of years of human civilization and wisdom in almost all languages on earth into bits and bites in online databases. Indexing software makes inputting search words and retrieving this human wisdom possible for many languages as well.

Language-centered library instruction

Because of the diversity of Area Studies collections (in different languages) and the unique feature of each area studies, conducting library instruction in the globalization age has become a challenging issue. At the same time, such a challenge also offers a great opportunity to develop new ways of library instruction.

To design a new library instruction method, it is important to identify common features among area study programs, student interests, and library resources (Fig. 1). Faculty and scholars of a specific area studies program often carry out their research with materials in the language of their area interest. Language students learn the language of their interest. The library’s primary resources of the area studies collections are in the language of the area studied. Thus, the common component embedded in the area studies program, student interest, and the related library collections is the LANGUAGE. Taking Chinese Studies program as an example, Chinese Studies scholars use Chinese language materials for their research, language learning students study Chinese language, and the library builds up Chinese collections in Chinese language (Fig. 1). Therefore, the common element of these three components is CHINESE LANGUAGE. In considering this commonality, I wondered if it would be possible to take advantage of the language element and use it as a tool to teach library instruction. Pursuing this idea, I designed a method termed

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

Language Learning Oriented Library Instruction (LLOLI) at Emory University in collaboration with the Chinese language faculty. This method aims at introducing library resources to language students in the language they are learning.

Chinese Language Learning Oriented Library Instruction

The LLOLI method with Chinese materials involves the following steps:

First, I prepared the library instruction content in Chinese and wrote a short text about Chinese resources at Emory’s Woodruff General Library. In it, I described our library’s Chinese collection, its history, and formats, such as printed materials, online databases, and visual collections. An example taken from the text is given in Figure 2.

Then, I worked with the faculty to incorporate this textual material into class instruction, in this case, intermediate Chinese 202. Before the class, students received this text with new characters highlighted by the professor for pre-studies. During the class, I went over the text paragraph by paragraph and explained the meanings and concepts behind them. Then, I demonstrated to students how to access Chinese materials from the Chinese collection and retrieve Chinese texts from Chinese online databases using Chinese characters as searching words. Figure 3 is an example of retrieving Chinese journal articles from China Academic Journals. Lastly, students had the opportunity to conduct hands-on practice.

In the end, students mastered the knowledge of how to retrieve library resources in Chinese, while at the same time they learned Chinese language as well. This method kills two birds with one stone: learning Chinese while learning how to access library resources. Because all area studies have similar components to those of Chinese Studies, this method is also applicable to library instruction for any of the area studies programs.

ANALYSIS AND DIGITAL PROCESSING OF THE 1911~1949 CHINA LITERARY COLLECTION

Meng Zhan Wuhan University Library, China Fei Yu School of Water Resource and Hydropower, Wuhan University, China

Summary: This paper analyzes the properties of print publications dating from the period of the Republic of China, 1911~1949. It discusses aspects of paper, binding, publication, contents, the present situation of use, preservation, and their distribution in mainland China. Then it discusses the digital processing aspects of the Collection. This paper also elaborates work flow management and quality control methods in digital processing. The research is part of the China-America Digital Academic Library Project (CADAL).

1 The Collection Published between 1911~1949 and analysis of its properties 1.1 The period of Republic of China (1911~1949）and the Collection Published between 1911~1949 The 38-year period from the Revolution of 1911 to the founding of People’s Republic of China in 1949 is defined as the Republic of China. This period, which ended imperial power and led to a republic, spanned ancient China and modern China. This historical period of transformation and reform saw much conflict between old and new ideas brought about by cultural exchange between home and abroad, and a wealth of literary and historical writings were produced. (Li Fang, 2005, p. 109) Additionally, due to cultural reform and innovations in printing technology, many useful and important publications sprang up that made use of new printing materials and technology. Many printing presses, newspaper offices, and libraries were established, as well as library special collections and archives. For these reasons, publications from 1911- 1949 are valuable not only for their historical and literary content (Wang Xiangfeng, 2005, p. 63), but also as examples and artifacts of the revolutionary improvements in the history of printing such as papermaking, printing, and binding techniques. It is reported that over one-hundred thousand varieties exist of some kinds of books published in this period. (Li Fang, 2005, p. 109). Other types of publications such as periodicals, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, and political tracts issued by government and nongovernmental publishing companies also flourished. All of these played a significant role in the development of Chinese culture during the Republican period.

According to the definition given in "The Catalogue of the collection published in 1911~1949," books published from 1911 to 1949 belong to the 1911~1949 Literary Collection (Li Fang, 2005, p. 109). From this, it can be inferred that the only criterion used to define the Collection published from 1911 to 1949 is “publishing time,” because this period was a turning point from the ancient to contemporary in China. The literature in this period was both similar to Chinese ancient books while at the same time exhibiting great differences. For instance, as to paper, it not only had the Xuan paper produced with ancient traditional technology, but also had strongly acid paper produced with new technology; as for types of edition, there existed both handwritten editions and printed editions; as to binding, there coexisted thread-bound editions and machine pack editions; as to content, the writing in classical Chinese and vernacular were both widely accepted. The co-existence of ancient and modern features in this Collection exemplifies the extraordinary social conditions during the transition from old China to modern China. 1.2 Properties of the Collection 1.2.1 Properties of paper At present, publications from 1911~1949 preserved in libraries are liable to be old, hard and brittle. Wuhan University Library, as part of the CADAL preservation project, processed more than 17,000 periodicals published during this period. Before being processed, the paper of these periodicals was generally brittle, hard, and yellowed. More than half of them appeared to be worn to some extent. Compared with the ancient books preserved in our university library under the same external circumstances, the damage to these Republican publications was more serious. Why would these much

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

younger books suffer more serious damage than the much older ancient books? As indicated in the findings by the National Library through the study “The Investigation and Analysis on the Paper’s Acidity of the Library-stored Literature and Their Present Preservation," the Republican materials mostly used mechanical mill paper produced with wood pulp, which resulted in an acid paper of poor quality and short life (Jiang He, 2005, p. 10). In addition, the paper was also hard and crisp, and tended to be brittle to the touch. In contrast, paper used in ancient books was produced by Chinese traditional papermaking technology, handmade using extruded fiber and the pliable and leathery parts of plants such as hemp and bark. Paper made with these materials and methods tended to be neutral and alkaline, soft but durable; as the saying goes, “the life span of paper is up to million years." For example, although the books in Song and Yuan dynasty have lasted as long as one thousand years, they are still readable.

According to a study done by the National Library, we know that storage life of newspapers and books published from 1911 to 1949 is about 50-100 years to 100-200 years (Jiang He, 2005, p. 10). Based on these figures, it can be assumed that newspapers of the Republican era are approaching the edge of natural extinction, and books of this period are also rapidly aging. During the course of processing the collection, we took care to prevent the items from being destroyed. For example, we used a vertical scanner that did not touch the surface and emphasized light while moving the item. Even so, 70% of the items still needed repair after digital processing. These publications are very brittle, and their life span is limited. 1.2.2 Properties of Binding Through our daily experience at our university library, we learned that the ancient books were completely sewed by hand, while modern periodicals are bound by machine. In the Republican period, the technology of mechanical papermaking and printing imported from the West (in that time called “international technology”) was more and more used, and the binding of books was also transferred from ancient handwork to machinery. During the early years of the Republican era, publications using Xuan paper in general maintained the technology of hand sewing, now called thread-binding. In the later stages of this period, all publications were machine-bound. Therefore Republican publications include both hand-bound and mechanically-bound items. The technology of mechanical binding in the initial stages of the Republic of China was simple, and the binding materials were inferior. Hence, binding quality was poor, and pages pulled loose from the binding over years of use. During the course of digital scanning in the CADAL project carried out by our university library, this sort of damage (called “scattered pages”) affected up to 20% of the materials, and six volumes of this amount were books “broken up when touched,” that could not be restored at all. This phenomenon of “scattered pages” occurred both due to poor paper quality and also due to poor binding. 1.2.3 Properties of publishing The print record records incidents, culture and ideas of every historical period. In this special time period of the Republic of China, publications developed in unprecedented ways. Publications dating from the Republican era display the following characteristics:

Firstly, publishers were diverse. They were not only formal publishers such as press and print houses, but also informal publishers such as organizations, political parties, and the government in the broader sense. Additionally, there were offprints, printed books and handwritten editions of the works of well-known authors. This latter type of publication, published by informal publishers, makes up the majority of publications from the Republican period.

Secondly, because they made use of the wealth of new publishing technology available during the Republican era, editions from this period are characterized by use of a diversity of printing methods, such as mimeograph editions, letterpress print editions, handwritten editions, woodcarved editions, lithographic editions and ormolu (imitation gold leaf) editions. By the later period, letterpress printing accounted for a large proportion of editions. 1.2.4 Properties of contents The Republican period was an exceptional period in Chinese history. An exchange of culture between home and abroad contributed to the collision of ideologies and resulting innovations. This period was a

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

time of cultural ferment in China, just as the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Periods were. Books of different political opinions, academic viewpoints and ideas were published in this period, some advocating maintaining the old social order, while others promoted democracy, revolution, and a new culture. The most typical schools of thought were the advanced ideas of the New Culture Movement advocated by Lu Xun, the New Democracy advocated by Sun Yat-Sen, and Communism advocated by some revolutionary representatives such as Mao Zedong. Additionally, all kinds of publications were produced that expressed the politics and ideological principles of the government of the Republic of China, including new technology and scientific publications as well as Western-oriented publications. Clearly, Republican- era publications were not only various in type but also reflected the diverse society of the period. 2 Analysis of the Status Quo of the Collection 2.1 Status of the Distribution of the Collection Publications from the Republican period were widely distributed and may be found in archives, libraries, historical archives, and literature and history research institutes. Some individuals also collected publications from this period. The Second Archives of China holds the most volumes of publications, which vary in content, from the Republican period (Wang Xiangfeng, 2005, p .63). The National Library of China, public libraries in different provinces, and archives also have extensive collections. University libraries such as the libraries of Peking University, Nanking University, Fudan University and Wuhan University are also rich in books from Republican China. In addition, unpublished theses, usually handwritten, by students of these universities during the decades of the Republican period have also been preserved. These writings have their own unique historical and societal value. 2.2 The Dilapidated Condition of the Collection The high acidity of the paper of Republican-period publications contributes to their aging and deterioration, and papers have even lost their mechanical strength, tending to crumble when touched, and many are not readable. The following chart gives enlightening figures.

Name of library Total # of 1911-1949 volumes % damaged Notes National Library of China 670,000 90% 100% of earliest vols. damaged Jilin Library 160,000 90% Nanking Library 700,000 60% Books crumble to the touch. Chongqing Library 170,000 50% Extensive damage Wuhan 50,000 nearly lost

As this chart makes clear, most publications dating from the Republican era that are still extant are in a sorry state of preservation. The low quality of the paper used makes them subject to serious damage. It is high time that we adopt methods to rescue and protect these publications. 2.3 Accessibility of Republican-era publications For various historical reasons, books published between 1911and 1949 in the mainland of China are not all available to readers. Only some are accessible in rare books collections. Others are restricted to consultation by authorized researchers. The policy of “rare books” was first proposed by Mr. Zhao Wanli, who was the director of the Department of Reliable Texts of the National Library in 1953. Criteria for inclusion in the Republican period collection were the ideological, historical, and artistic properties of the text (Zhao Changhai, 2004, p. 22). Although the publications included in the “rare books" category covered the whole period of the Republic of China (time of publication), all libraries still considered the revolutionary nature and ideological content as criteria in collecting. Consequently, only some of the books in the collection are accessible to readers. Some libraries that have not yet established rare books reading rooms now place some books which are in accordance with this standard in modern literature reading rooms to be accessible to readers.

3 Research into digitization of Republican-era publications Given the special nature of publications dating from the Republican period, we can say that accelerated

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

digital processing will facilitate the preservation of literature and increase use. But important questions remain: what standards should be adopted for processing of these publications, and how can we control the quality? Our university library took part in the development of the project under CADAL, and during this time, we also conducted some research on these publications, including how to determine the requirements of the digital process, processing standards, and methods of quality control. 3.1 Estimation of the requirements of the Digital Process 3.1.1 Estimation of the Digital Process There are two points related to the digital requirements of 1911~1949 publications: the first one is digital preservation, and the other is users’ network. Take our university library as an example. The library has nearly 30,000 volumes published between 1911~1949, only 85% of which can be put into the reading rooms for readers to read. Because Wuhan University specializes in the disciplines of literature, history and philosophy, there is heavy use of Republican era publications from both teachers and students. But because of paper and binding, this literature has been seriously damaged, and cannot be placed in open access to readers. Therefore it is necessary to do digital processing so as to preserve them in closed shelves. Additionally, Republican-era publications are located not only in the library, but also in reference rooms of relevant colleges and departments. Therefore it would be beneficial to carry out digital processing that could be widely shared through the campus network. 3.1.2 Estimation of the Resources increment Service In the library field, collection development policy considers increasing usage. For books published from 1911~1949, digitizing and online retrieval can offer more services than just increasing usage. Sometimes readers can also read the full-text contents through the network if necessary, thus providing increased access. The library’s and readers’ efficiency are both improved. 3.2 Resource Selection Standard We established a resource selection standard as follows:

Resource selection scope: All print literature located in universities (including libraries, archives and reference rooms of every school and department etc.) are the resources of the database. Such a scope contributes to the construction of a sharing system of the Collection throughout the university.

Resource selection standard: According to the criteria described in the “Bibliography of Republic Period of China”, it is known that books in any form of binding published between 1911 and 1949 are technically candidates for inclusion in the digital Republican Era Collection. Our university library set the resource selection standard to be based on the year in which the book was published. Therefore the collection includes not only traditional thread bound books, but also paperbacks; not only the books typed vertically, but also the format of horizontal writing; not only the books written with ancient text and complex Chinese characters, but also the ones written with modern words and simplified Chinese characters. 3.3 The Application of Digitalization Standards The management center of CADAL drew up a series of criteria for digitization of resources in the collection. It also adopted some open electronic book standards for creating and conserving digital resources. 600dpi was accepted as the scanning resolution, XML was exerted in catalog navigation, and image files were saved in TIFF and DjVu format. This way of adopting current standards is different from earlier projects. For example most early domestic electronic books needed special readers. Also they were produced with low precision. In contrast to this, objects of the Republican Digital Collection are produced according to current, convenient standards. These standards can also facilitate the conservation of digital resources and its further development.

The management center of CADAL has established a metadata standard that adopted Dublin Core (DC) standards for digital processing. Our University amended this within the framework of CADAL, and applied it to digitizing the Collection Published from 1911~1949. For example, we increased the repeatability of

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

some useful elements in the set of metadata, and augmented the description of the title (for example, how to deal with the tile of bound volumes, book series, and books in different languages, etc.). We also made specific regulations for “scope of space-time” and “punctuation.” These revisions not only utilized the framework of standardized files in CADAL, but also allowed for the particularity of the data among publications of the Republican era. This sort of metadata will improve the effectiveness and quality of data exchange and shared services in the future. 3.4 Management of Digital Processing and Quality Control 3.4.1 Management of Digitizing During the course of digital processing of the Collection, there existed two work flows, namely (1) scanning and metadata labeling through a professional company and (2) quality control and classification by the library staff. Processors in the company are very specialized and efficient in scanning and conducting digital processing (such as error checking and removing unwanted information), while our university library staff are experts in the aspects of quality checking (textual and metadata). This work flow ensures that the specialties of different organizations are fully used. It not only increases the scanning rate and quality but also guarantees the quality of metadata. 3.4.2 Process quality control Scanning quality control: As we have outsourced scanning we have developed a “digital processing standard” (including the requirements on scanning precision, image decontamination and scanning integrality) and made this a part of the legal agreement between the company and the University library. When the company finished scanning and execution, the examiners of our university library checked the processed materials in detail. If an error was found, the company was asked to reprocess the data. Because of these strict measures, each publication appears very clear on a computer monitor, sometimes clearer than when it is seen by the naked eye.

Metadata quality control: Because they directly affect document retrieval, special attention should be focused on creating metadata. As mentioned above, our university library amended the metadata standards stipulated by CADAL to record metadata for the Collection. We extended some useful fields and changed necessities (such as making the keywords field essential and setting the minimum number of keywords at 3). The Metadata marking work flow has 2 levels: the first one is metadata markup by a digital processing company according to standards (the main key words are not required), and the second one is checking up and marking some keywords on the processed metadata by the cataloging department of our university library. In order to control quality of the processing company’s metadata, our university library has drawn up “testing regulations of the metadata” for the Collection Published in 1911~1949, which specify not only technical requirements but also establish an error-based payment subtraction formula. In this formula, different fields have different subtractive requirements, and when the total value of the subtractive points reaches a certain point, deductions will be made from the company’s processing fee. Under these double constraints of technology and finance, quality of the Collection metadata processed by our university library is well secured. 4 Conclusions Publications printed from 1911 to 1949, during the Republican Period of China, are the product of a specific historic period of China. Because of limits on publication quality of the period, their paper is close to natural self-destruction, so it is urgent for us now to protect them by means of digital management. The work of protection not only has useful practicability for global information sharing but also has historic significance in protecting the human cultural heritage.

Properties of these publications raise some study questions for literature preservation departments (such as libraries) to think about: how to draw up collection development standards, how to determine rational work flows and how to control scanning and metadata quality in the course of digital processing.

NCC Staff: Brigid Laffey, NCC Webmaster and Sharon Yamamoto, NCC Staff Associate also attended.

NCC Chair Tokiko Bazzell brought the meeting to order and asked for reports from the funding organizations.

Report from the Japan-United States Friendship Commission: Margaret Mihori provided a brief outline of new items from the Commission since its last report was presented at NCC’s January 12, 2007 meeting.

A year ago, the Commission anticipated that interest rates would rise in FY 2008, but rates have remained low. This means income from the Commission’s reinvestments has not grown, and a weaker dollar has further eroded the Commission’s spending power. As a result it will be difficult to fund any new initiatives, and on-going projects will receive greater scrutiny as competition increases for scarce resources. Full funding priorities can be found on the JUSFC website at www.jusfc.gov.

Earlier this year the Commission filled four vacancies: Ms. Ellen H. Hammond; Ms. Velina Hasu Houston; Dr. Susan J. Pharr; Ms. Amelia Porges joined the Commission. There are currently three vacancies on the Commission’s board, including the Chairman. The Commission anticipates filling these vacancies in the near future. A general announcement will be made when this occurs. Projects funded for the entirety of FY 2007 can be found at: http://www.jusfc.gov/grants2007.asp.

Report from the Japan Foundation: Masako Yamamoto from the Tokyo office of the Japan Foundation discussed three issues: 1) the new grant priorities recently initiated by the foundation, 2) the Tenri Workshop, and 3) Japanese Studies Information Specialists Training Program. The impetus for the new grant program priorities was a budget decrease of 5% for each program, in the presence of an increasing need to support new applicants while also supporting organizations that have been funded in the past. Under the new grant program, individual projects are organized under one category and institutional support is packaged together. Additionally, consortium programs, which used to be funded in a separate application process, now fit into the institutional category and are screened by committee. Programs that were not previously screened, such as the Inter-University Center for Japanese Language Studies (IUC) and the Kyoto Consortium for Japanese Studies (KCJS), will now be screened. This new application process gives the Japan Foundation a better overall view of the programs in the field. Initial screening of grant proposals will take place in September and successful proposals will then be invited to submit applications (due December 14th). All applicants are challenged to offer matching funds on a one-to-one basis (or

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

higher). Organizations that pass the initial screening will receive guidance from the Japan Foundation on the final application.

Under the new structure, dedicated library support has been discontinued. All library support must be included in the institutional applications.

The second issue she discussed was the Tenri Workshop held in June 2007. She was encouraged to see that an international group could cooperate and successfully carry out a project without organizational help from the Japan Foundation, especially since it took two to three years to plan. She was also impressed with the contribution made by Tenri University in providing on-site logistics and facilities. She felt it was a good model for Japanese specialist training in the future.

She then announced that Japan Foundation expects to select all four of the US candidates ranked by the NCC for the 2007 Japanese Studies Information Specialist Training Program (JSIST) organized by the Japan Foundation and the National Diet Library to date. 2007 will be the last year of organizational support for JSIST and she is unsure what the NDL plans to do in the future. Tokiko Bazzell mentioned that she has already met with the NDL Deputy Director and she, Vickey, and Ikuhara-san will meet at the October 2007 Berkeley conference to further discuss this matter. The Japan Foundation will add its voice in pressuring NDL to continue training support working with the NCC and other organizations.

Greetings from Meeting Host: Tokiko thanked the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies (RIJS) for its support of the Image Use Protocol (IUP) Task Force meeting held on August 29 at William James Hall, for their supplementary support of the E-Resources Workshop at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston on August 30, and for the NCC working meeting currently being held. Professor Susan Pharr, Director of the Reischauer Institute, replied that RIJS was happy to support such an important group. She also noted the past collaborations between RIJS and the NCC including the workshops in November 2006 on Japanese Science Technology and Medicine, and Japanese Social Sciences Data, respectively and also the 2002 NCC Junior Japanese Studies Librarians Professional Training Seminar (JLTS).

Report on Image Use Protocol Task Force: Theodore Bestor, task force co-chair pro tem, reported that the incentive for the Image Use Protocol (IUP) task force came because North American scholars had many questions regarding location, access to and legal use of Japanese images. At the first task force meeting, held on August 29, 2007, participants from different fields met to exchange views and personal experience on accessing images and getting copyright permission in Japan. Participants included librarians, a museum curator, academics from various fields, and a publisher.

IUP Co-chairs Robin Le Blanc and Reiko Yoshimura were unable to attend, with members Eiko Sakaguchi and Ted Bestor stepping in to chair the two sessions. Robin Le Blanc’s report circulated to the task force before the meeting was the foundation for much discussion. The report contained very useful information about the goals and direction the task force could take and included templates from art historians and librarians on various categories of copyright protection, a good summary of Japanese copyright law, and templates for permissions letters in both English and Japanese.

The domains of issues facing the task force include: 1) the use of images in publications; 2) the use of images in teaching; 3) Access to images for research purposes; and 4) clarification of copyright issues related to digitized archives of images. Although users who presented at the August 29th meeting came from diverse disciplines, there was consensus about the needs of users, which was encouraging to the success of the task force.

The next steps of the task force are to: 1) conduct a survey of the Japanese studies field to seek a broader range of clear examples of both problems encountered and successful strategies used; 2) compile survey and discussion results into a set of best practices for image use within the field on Japanese studies; 3) draft a statement or letter to send to counterpart organizations in Japan, such as the Japan Book Publishers Association and the Japan Museums Association; and 4) possibly organize a meeting in Japan

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

next summer to meet with Japanese publishers and image producers to review the IUP’s guidelines prior to their publication on the NCC Website, making them freely available to all.

Reports from NCC Representatives from Collaborating Organizations:

Hwa-Wei Lee, Library of Congress (LC) representative, reported that since the last meeting at the University of Washington, Seattle, in January 2007, the Library of Congress held two symposia and one exhibition related to Japanese materials. Rare and special Japanese materials, historical and notable books, and contemporary Japanese prints were displayed during these events.

The Library of Congress has acquired several major titles in their effort to work more closely with the NCC’s Multi-Volume Sets (MVS) Project in promoting cooperative collection development nationally. LC has recently purchased worthy titles for which adequate funding was not available in recent MVS grant years. New titles purchased through this cooperative endeavor include: 1) Tsurunoya Kobori Tomoto Bunko, and Chūgoku Tairiku Jūmanbun no ichi Chizu Shūsei 1-3 Manshū 1-3 (MVS 2005-06 and 2006-07 respectively). The Library also acquired a microfilm set of Tsurunoya Kobori Tomoto Bunko [Tsurunoya Kobori Tomoto Library]. Tokyo: Yūshōdō Shuppan, 1996 (MVS 2005-06). And in addition, jointly funded by the Asian Division and the Geography & Map Division, the Library acquired Chūgoku Tairiku Jūmanbun no ichi Chizu Shusei 1-3: Manshu 1-3 [Maps/Atlas of Chinese Continent, scale 1/100,000, 1-3: Manchuria 1-3]. Tokyo: Kagaku Shoin, Kasumigaseki Shuppan, 2003-06 (MVS 2006-07). Susan Matisoff, MVS co-chair, thanked LC for its collaboration on the purchase of needed materials that were not funded by the MVS grant and for Eiichi Ito’s participation in the MVS Committee.

Dr. Lee also mentioned plans to digitize the 41 volumes of the rare dictionary 康熙字典 Kōki jiten [Kangxi dictionary] and to make it accessible online. LC’s holding is a reproduction of Japanese edition of the Chinese dictionary published in 1780. This material is thus invaluable, especially since LC’s set is complete and well preserved. Tomoko Steen also added that the digitization project of the US Government Unit 731 biological materials data had processed with the help from Nichibunken.

In personnel matters, Mari Sakamoto has been appointed as Japanese Reference Librarian. She will begin her post on October 1, 2007.

Finally, he reported that the Asian Division is in the process of building an Asian Pacific American collection, to be initiated at a national conference to be held on October 4-5, 2007. This sparked a discussion among members about the recent growth of Asian American collections in the country and the importance of integrating them into American studies.

Martin Collcutt, representative of the Northeast Asia Council (NEAC), talked about the funding possibilities of NEAC. NEAC gives grants for Japanese and Korean studies up to $4,000. Funding on the Japan side is indebted to JUSFC, and NEAC has seen an increase in applicants due to online publicity. Recipients have been K-12 teachers, academics, artists, librarians, and researchers. Grants can be given for such things as seminars, instructional material, promotion of Japanese research, travel to Japan, conference support, distinguished lecturer series, and training of junior librarians. In light of cutbacks in funding from the Japan Foundation, NEAC might provide a good alternative for funding to librarians. He asked NCC members to encourage more librarians in the field to apply to NEAC as a means of support.

Council on East Asian Libraries (CEAL) representative, Keiko Yokota-Carter, reported that the CEAL 2008 meeting will be April 2-4. CEAL will coordinate its materials committee meetings with the NCC. She added that the NCC is a wonderful model for Chinese and Korean librarian communities. For instance, its librarian training activities serve as inspirations for Korean and Chinese studies librarians as well.

Laura Hein, Japan Foundation American Advisory Committee (JF-AAC) Representative, continued the discussion from earlier in the morning by saying that fundamentally the relationship between the JF-AAC and Japanese studies has changed and in the future the AAC will be collaboratively looking for additional

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

funding sources, not simply asking the JF for funding. JF America is in a difficult position vis à vis JF Japan. JF Japan must justify everything that comes in.

Meeting attendees expressed their opinions about the importance of continued funding from the Japan Foundation for individuals, library support, and independent projects. Faculty research grants that help faculty to get leave from institutes without sabbatical grants was cited as an example. She explained that matching funds help enhance awareness among the Japanese studies field and can do more than independent funding by shifting focus to helping a greater number of people.

Because the Japan Foundation eliminated dedicated library collection development funding, Tokiko Bazzell announced that the NCC’s Japan Foundation Library Support Committee will be disbanded, once the Foundation makes the full announcements about the termination of all categories of library grants.

Akio Yasue, Japan Liaison, and retired Deputy Librarian of the National Diet Library, reported on the progress of points made at the CULCON 1997 conference and the current situation of ILL/DD requests between the United States and Japanese libraries. He outlined the three main ILL/DD services available for North American libraries to obtain Japanese documents: 1) the Global ILL Framework (GIF) Project; 2) the NDL ILL/DD Service; and 3) Waseda University’s ILL/DD Service. Waseda University receives the most requests and has the best return rate with 62% of requests filled. It was thought that Waseda’s current level of successful transactions is partly due to the longer term of the Waseda project than GIF and the NDL service and especially because Waseda is a full member of OCLC and their records are therefore more accessible via utilities that ILL librarians are familiar with. He concluded his report by noting the impact of digital resources on the acquisitions process which surely influences the acquisitions process in North America as well.

The discussion that ensued focused on the large number of requests that go unfilled. One member thought that the high rejection rate might be because Japanese libraries haven’t updated their holding information rather than an indication of a lack of training among American library staff. If the records are not updated, perhaps users are simply asking for the wrong thing. Another noted that rejections are sometimes because the request is for material that cannot travel (such as dissertations). Chiaki Sakai, Chair of the ILL/DD Committee added that the GIF Japan liaison is working with the ILL/DD committee to make FAQ and troubleshooting websites to aid these problems. The discussion led naturally into her report.

The ILL/DD Committee Report was given by Chiaki Sakai, Committee co-chair. She began with news of personnel changes. In July 2007 Sharon Domier and Kathy Ridenour ended their terms, and Hiroyuki Good (Japanese Bibliographer) and Patricia Duff (Head of Interlibrary Load Department and Storage Facility), both from University of Pittsburgh, joined the committee.

She also discussed her work on behalf of the NCC and the field of Japanese studies in responding to the Section 108 Study Group. The Section 108 Study Group is reviewing that section of the Copyright Act, which allows libraries to make certain uses of copyrighted material to serve the public. The study group surveyed interested parties to help determine if a separate set of guidelines is needed for international electronic interlibrary loan services. The publishers of the group issued comments stating that international interlibrary loan should be governed by different rules. As co-chair of the ILL/DD committee she drafted comments providing statistics on ILL/DD between the US and Japan that argued that academic groups should not be bound by international boundaries in the transmission of documents.

In recent GIF promotion activities, the committee held a poster session at the AAS annual meeting in Boston where committee members explained the GIF project and their ILL/DD services in Japan to Japanese studies faculty and graduate students. In April, Hikaru Nakano and Michelle Foss conducted a joint E-Resource Workshop at the University of Florida. They covered 1) Japanese resources and databases that are available at the University of Florida libraries and; 2) how to order items via Interlibrary Loan for UF faculty and visitors attending the session. On June 23, 2007 over 30 librarians met at the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. to discuss the GIF Project. The majority of

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

librarians attending were from the Interlibrary Loan field plus several catalogers present. The meeting was successful in sharing information about the GIF project to attendees around the country.

Future activities of the committee include a plan to upgrade the GIF portal, currently under investigation by Hitoshi Kamada. If this project is undertaken, the program will be run on the Website, greatly improving ease of use. Another activity includes adding FAQ and troubleshooting sections for GIF librarian users to the Website. Hitoshi Kamada will give a presentation entitled, “Obtaining Japanese Materials Successfully: A Guide to the GIF Project” at the Western Conference of AAS in late September 2007.

The Librarian Professional Development Committee (LPDC) report was given by recently elected co-chair Maureen Donovan. She reported on the committee’s second meeting on March 21, 2007, held during the AAS/CEAL 2007 annual meeting in Boston. Items discussed were 1) a new rotation schedule for committee members to avoid having an entire new committee at any one point. In related personnel news, Keiko Suzuko has joined the committee following the resignation of Kio Kanda. 2) The committee also discussed the best time and venue for future librarian training programs, and 3) Results of a survey on possible training program topics. Respondents were interested in training that crossed the spectrum of CJK areas and in repeating the Junior Japanese Studies Librarian Training Seminar (last offered in 2002). Interest was also expressed for ongoing, midcareer training, especially in Japanese electronic resources, digitizing, and legal issues. The committee decided that each committee member would review the survey results, plan a training module to support specific training needs and distribute module drafts among the committee members.

The first year of a three-year training program, the Tenri Antiquarian Materials Workshop for Overseas Japanese Studies Librarians (Tenri Workshop) took place from June 18th through June 22nd, 2007. The NCC assisted the Workshop by reviewing the announcement and the application form for North America, posting a call for applicants on Eastlib, and selecting the North American participants. The NCC is also acting as bursar for funds from the Japan Foundation earmarked for US participants. The workshop aims to establish a cohort of librarians expertly trained in the best practices for managing, cataloguing and organizing antiquarian manuscript and printed materials. They will serve as core persons responsible for providing guidance and training on such materials to colleagues in their respective countries/regions. This first-year workshop focused on early modern printed books through well-integrated lectures and hands-on training. Participants heard lectures on subjects ranging from the types of printing of Japanese antiquarian books to publishing in the early modern period and cataloging Japanese antiquarian books. The workshop was considered a success, and participants are hopeful that year two will be even more fruitful.

Tomoko Steen, chair of the Digital Resources Committee (DRC), reported that new information on databases has been added to the DRC Website: a chart comparing commercial Japanese database facts (pricing, guidelines, sample contracts); useful Japan/Asian databases; list of free Japanese databases; and useful Japanese law databases. In a discussion with Nikkei potential licensing the Nikkei representative reactions were positive. She also discussed plans for the next grilling session with vendors probably in conjunction with the CEAL/AAS Meetings in April 2008 in Atlanta. Tentative indications of interest have been received from Nikkei and NetAdvance. She ended by listing some of the things she hoped to accomplish working with her designated successor, to be elected later in the meeting.

The Multi-Volume Sets (MVS) Project report was given by co-chair, Susan Matisoff. The MVS Committee met to determine grants in light of two new guidelines: 1) that second-hand titles could be proposed for MVS funding, providing books are in acceptable condition to be lent overseas and that vendors agree to hold titles pending MVS’s decision in February each year; 2) The charging of regular ILL fees is now permitted for MVS titles, but institutions must continue to freely circulate all volumes supported by MVS via ILL. For the 2006-07 MVS competition 19 titles were proposed for funding by 9 institutions. Five of the requested titles were for second-hand sets. Eleven titles were funded with grants going to 7 institutions for a 2006-07 MVS funding total of ¥9,976,328.

Vickey Bestor reported on the Japan Art Catalog Project (JAC) and JAC II. The Freer Gallery received $25,000 to catalog Asian art exhibition catalogs from Japan. On April 5, Columbia received a total of 514

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

Western art exhibition catalogs, the latest donation in the JAC Western Art Project and the first from the National Art Center Tokyo (NACT), which has taken charge of the JAC project. These will be cataloged by the Starr East Asian Library Technical Services Division and housed in the Avery Architecture and Fine Arts Library. The JAC II Project—donation of Japanese art exhibition catalogs from Western museums—has been reinitiated after being suspended since 1997, and a shipment of catalogs will soon go to NACT.

Maureen Donovan gave an update on the Japanese Company History Shashi Interest Group, which had asked to be affiliated with NCC in 2006. The Shashi Interest Group has decided to affiliate with AAS instead. The reasons for this are because AAS affiliation will facilitate the group’s use of a meeting room at the AAS annual meeting. Affiliating with AAS may also facilitate their effort to directly engage with scholars.

NCC Administrative Reports:

Tokiko Bazzell presented her Chair’s Travel Report on her NCC-related meetings in Tokyo at the Japan Foundation, National Diet Library, National Art Center Tokyo (NACT), Japan Publications Trading Company (JPTC), International House of Japan Library and the Japan Foundation Library from May 22 through May 25, 2007. The meetings focused on recent Japan Foundation funding application changes, which will affect the NCC’s activities and other Japan Foundation funded projects, such as the Japanese Studies Information Specialists Training Program (JSIST). At the Japan Foundation meeting, Masako Yamamoto detailed the new program guidelines and gave advice on future applications. The NDL meeting focused on three main issues: 1) The future of the Japanese Studies Information Specialists Training (JSIST); 2) NDL’s participation in UC Berkeley’s Conference in October 2007; and 3) collaboration between NDL and NII in regards to Japan’s institutional repository.

Tokiko Bazzell and Vickey Bestor reported on the E-Resources Training Initiative, which is coming to an end. The three-year project was conceived to provide a national program of hands-on user-training workshops which have proven to be very successful, reaching over 1,000 users over three years. During the first year a cohort of 33 librarian-instructors was trained in two intensive workshops to employ the best practices for offering hands-on user training in information literacy. During the subsequent two years over 50 workshops have been offered in all regions of the US, and in Canada, Japan and Australia. Meeting attendees also previewed the new online tutorial on the GIF project completed as part of the Information Literacy Portal (ILR) and produced by ILR Task Force Chair Dawn Lawson.

Vickey Bestor reported on her recent Australia trip. She was invited to take part in a roundtable reporting on NCC activities at the Biennial meeting of the Japanese Studies Association of Australia. While there she took part in 5 library-related programs, two of which were part of the NCC’s E-Resources Initiative. Other meetings were related to potential planning of future NCC projects and for brainstorming about North American-Australian Library and Information collaborations related to Japanese studies, as well as general networking in and among the Japanese studies and diplomatic communities of Australia. Scholars and librarians Vickey talked with expressed interests in joining NCC activities, such as E-Resources Workshops, the GIF project, DRC, and IUP, and in librarian training. The DRC has already provided online assistance to librarians in New Zealand who had questions about the licensing and use of a major database system widely in use in the US.

Day 2, Saturday, September 1, 2007

The second day of the NCC meeting opened with a presentation by guest speaker, Izumi Koide, Director of the Research Center on Entrepreneurship, Shibusawa Ei’ichi Memorial Foundation, entitled "Why archives matter?: Archival Materials & Archivists Conference." The presentation summarized the schedule of the Archives Seminar held in Japan in May 2007 and addressed the broader issue of the importance of archives, the need for mutual understanding of archival systems in the US and Japan, and the role of the librarian in archive access. The seminar was organized because the Society of American Archivists (SAA) felt there was a general lack of knowledge about the Japanese archival process. Five American archivists with no Japanese experience went to Japan to learn from their Japanese counterparts. Their findings were that

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

archives in both countries face the same challenges in access and digitization, and more knowledge is needed of Japanese archival systems in the United States. Inequality in access to archives in Japan and the United States leads to an asymmetry in intellectual or academic knowledge. Librarians are integral to the provision of access, which underscores the importance of such a seminar. The Society of American Archivists will have all English speeches from the seminar online soon. The Japanese articles will be published in Japan.

After the presentation the meeting attendees discussed possible next steps, including training seminars across the United States, created with the help of SAA and librarians who deal with archival material. NCC and Nichibunken might work together to realize the seminars. Making archival collections known and accessible through digitization was also suggested.

Future Planning and Budgetary Needs:

Tokiko elicited opinions about the initial Japan Foundation application circulated to members the previous day. The responses were favorable. Among the suggestions was one for a future project assessing preservation efforts in North America. Perhaps a survey is needed to assess those efforts. It was suggested that the NCC might again play the role of advocate in such efforts and help to develop a set of Best Practices for Preservation.

The question was raised as to whether the NCC could play a role in articulating norms for different digitization projects. NCC might be able to advise smaller institutions on common quality standards. It was suggested one strategy might be working on a federated search across institutions. NCC could do a survey to learn what archival material is being held at institutions across the country. It was also noted that since archival material must be digitized in color, NCC might produce guidelines articulating minimum standards for digitization of materials.

The discussion then turned to funding these new projects. Masako Yamamoto of the Japan Foundation noted that NCC’s preliminary application explains its funding needs well, but acceptance of the application depends on the direct competition it faces from the 60 other applications. Laura Hein the JF-AAC representative added the Japan Foundation does not wish to fund maintenance activities of any organization, so it is important to emphasize how NCC is expanding, going international, new agendas, etc.

It was also strongly suggested that NCC consider fundraising to create a stable endowment to make it a permanent organization. One council member voiced the difficulty in fundraising for an organization like the NCC, especially since members are so spread out across the country and world. It was also noted that because of the NCC’s small staff size the organization must keep in mind that if a fundraising drive were to be undertaken, staff would have to forego other program management activities. Perhaps a separate fundraiser would need to be hired, since the current personnel would not have the time to fundraise and still develop new programs. Also, since all the council members work for other institutions, they may have a conflict of interest in assisting NCC in fundraising efforts. Masako Yamamoto stressed that if NCC undertakes a fundraising drive the Japan Foundation could be a partner in those efforts in Japan. The ideal of making NCC a membership organization should be considered or by creating a class of patrons or benefactors; institutions that might donate annually to the NCC.

Tokiko Bazzell gave a report on the feasibility study done in the spring on materials re-use and offered suggested revisions to the Resource Re-Use Feasibility Study. Despite strong concern from the Japanese side due to the amount of labor needed to fulfill requests and ship materials, it is generally felt the study was a success. The project was able to help 11 universities, and 75% of the available materials were distributed. The amount of labor continues to be an issue. It took the US side 8 hours to determine the distribution, but many more hours communicating with individuals. The ¥3000/carton charge for shipping was also considered too low if this project were to continue in the future. A more realistic amount is ¥5000-¥6000/carton. The project also relies on huge amounts of time donated by the donor university and the shipping company. The final recommendation was that the program is workable, but perhaps not every year. If Japanese institutions want to re-use their duplicates, then it is possible. The NCC will work

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

directly with the contributing library to coordinate the Re-Use project. Even if many institutions have duplicates they are willing to donate, they might be wary of undertaking the project due to the labor involved, so most likely the program will be self-pacing. Tokiko will send the suggested revisions to the JANUL and ask the JANUL members to discuss its future based on the study result and the revisions.

Future NCC Meeting Logistics and Venues:

A proposal was made to change the format of NCC Open Meetings to include more content sessions. The new plan provides for the advance dissemination of all reports electronically. In the future, committee co- chairs will not make individual reports at the meeting, rather there will be a general question and answer session during which time questions can be directed to a given committee and answered by the chair or members of that committee. The goal is to make NCC Open Meetings a greater forum for discussion of issues, the raising of questions, and the making of recommendations for future activities. The NCC Council fully endorsed this program change. The next NCC Open Meeting will follow this new format and is scheduled for Thursday, April 3, 2008 at the CEAL/AAS annual meeting in Atlanta, GA.

The next working meeting for NCC will be hosted by Susan Matisoff at the University of California, Berkeley on January 11-12, 2008.

The August 2008 Meeting is tentatively planned to be hosted by Tokiko Bazzell at the University of Hawaii, Manoa and to be held in conjunction with a librarian training planning conference. Final dates will be announced.

The NCC will explore the possibility of holding the January 2009 working meeting at Princeton hosted by Martin Collcutt. Further investigation of Princeton’s willingness to host will be pursued.

Election of the NCC Council/DRC Chair Position for July 2008 to June 2011 was held. The new chair of the Digital Resource Committee will succeed Tomoko Steen, whose term ends in June 2008. The future chair was elected to overlap with the incumbent for six months to ensure a smoother transition to the position. Two candidates were being considered and Keiko Yokota-Carter, Japanese Studies Librarian, University of Washington (and current CEAL representative) was elected.

At the conclusion of the meeting Chair Tokiko Bazzell thanked the members and guests who attended and closed the August/September 2007 meeting.

Observers: Kazuko Sakaguchi, Documents Center, Harvard University; Mariko Honshuku, Law Library, Harvard University. Ex-Officio: Tokiko Yamamoto Bazzell, NCC Chair, Japan Specialist Librarian, University of Hawaii Manoa; Victoria Lyon Bestor, NCC Executive Director, Associate, Reischauer Institute Harvard University; Brigid Laffey, NCC Webmaster; Sharon Yamamoto, NCC Project Assistant, Doctoral Student in Japanese Art History, UC Berkeley. Task force members not able to attend: Robin Le Blanc, Associate Professor of Politics, Washington and Lee University (Task Force Co-Chair); Toshiko Takenaka, Professor of Law, University of Washington Law School; Gennifer Weisenfeld, Associate Professor of Art History, Duke University; Bruce Willoughby, Executive Editor Publications Program, Center for Japanese Studies, University of Michigan; Reiko Yoshimura, Director of the Library, Freer and Sackler Galleries, The Smithsonian Institution (Task Force Co- Chair)

In the absence of IUP Task Force co-chairs Robin Le Blanc and Reiko Yoshimura two members agreed to serve as chairs pro tem during the meeting. Ted Bestor chaired the morning sessions, which focused on faculty issues in gaining access to images and Eiko Sakaguchi chaired the afternoon session, which reviewed co-chair Robin Le Blanc’s memos to the committee, examined the documentation she and others had provided, and formulated a timeline and priorities for the task force over the next year.

Session One in the morning focused on problems of access and permission encountered by those in fields such as anthropology and cultural studies who are dealing with images of contemporary Japan, including photographs taken by the researchers themselves, images from mass media, and moving images. Ted Bestor and Ian Condry led the roundtable discussion.

Ted Bestor opened the session by talking about general issues that led to the creation of the task force and raising some important points to be discussed at the meeting. He outlined four dimensions of image use and reproduction that are relevant to scholars’ needs: 1) Images used in publications, 2) Images used in teaching, 3) Images used in research, and 4) Access to images in archives and other institutions.

In his personal experience with unconventional images (for example, photographs of public places), he found that publishers may differ in their expectations/requirements. There is need for a clear set of guidelines on the level of clearance a researcher should request from the subjects of photographs taken for research purposes. Some publishers say that a photographer “owns” the images they take and can freely use them. Others may request written permissions from identifiable subjects in a photograph before publishing.

There are also sometimes images for which it is impossible to ascertain the entity that holds the copyright or the copyright holder may no longer exist. There are also instances when no one within an institution is willing to sign for permission to use an image owned by that institution. He also found commercial image banks to be too expensive, and he stressed the need for encouraging image banks to allow for academic writing and to clearly see the positive public relations value to academic writing, which may not have any

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

“commercial” profit making potential (unlike an advertising agency, for example, that may be licensing an image for a major and highly profitable sales and marketing campaign).

Ian Condry spoke about issues he dealt with in getting permission for images that were also not conventional. He stressed the need for personal connections in getting access to and in permissions for image use. For his last book on hip-hop culture in contemporary Japan he ran into problems finding the copyright holder required by his American publisher. In some cases it was unclear who owned the right to the image. He also questioned the degree (number) of permissions necessary from a legal standpoint. For some images he needed approval of multiple parties, all of whom claimed a legal right to the material.

He reiterated that there seemed to be great variation among what publishers required. In the case of his publisher (Duke University Press), he was able to use some copyrighted material under fair use. Song lyrics, for example, could be used (up to six lines) under the fair use statute. Generally he found that photographers could sign off on their own photographs; however sometimes in the case of a CD cover there may be several entities (the photographer, artist, head of the music company, and potentially others) that have, or believe they have, a rights interest in a given image.

He also discussed the growing popularity of Creative Commons Licenses which reserves some, but not all, rights. The author chooses the degree of control. With CCL, for example, someone can copy the entire work if it is not for profit and if proper attribution is made. Works protected by creative commons licenses have held up in court. Conversely, CCL can open up a gray area. It could be argued that entire books could be posted on the Internet, if the posting is not for personal gain. As more work is posted on the Internet, creative common licenses should be considered more.

In the discussion that followed, the task force members expressed concern about the miscommunication and lack of understanding on both the American and Japanese sides. In general, American scholars become frustrated with the difficulties of obtaining rights and they lack knowledge about how to obtain permission. It was perceived that Japanese publishers and copyright holders are wary of the American legal system and unwilling to become involved in it. It was suggested that US publishing companies should develop simple, non-threatening guidelines to the acquisition of rights. It was noted that, for example, the Japan Style Sheet published by SWET (the society of writers, editors, and translators – in Japan) does not mention images at all. Does this suggest that there is no awareness in Japan of the need for guidelines to give permission to published images? An explanation of copyright is therefore needed to show to Japanese copyright holders so that they better understand the problems foreign writers are dealing with.

Session Two: directed the discussion toward issues of access and permission for historical images. Mikael Adolphson and Sam Morse led the roundtable discussion.

Mikael Adolphson opened by emphasizing the need for standard protocol as it becomes more common for historians to read images (material remains, etc.) as text. In his own experience, he used ten images in his first book. In his second book he used thirty-five images. Through his own experience he found that it was more difficult to get access to images and physical prints of images than it was to get the copyright permissions themselves. He found that getting permission for an image in hand was not very difficult. Often it was granted quickly and free of charge. However, if he did not have an image he had to go in person to make the request and to acquire the image. It proved almost impossible to get images through mail correspondence. He therefore went to great lengths to get images before approaching the copyright holder, even if it meant getting them from the Internet. In the case of getting permission from a temple, Chion’in, he tried to buy images. It cost ¥10,000 to get permission to use an image for research purposes initially, with the understanding that he would have to get permission for publication of the image. However, later he discovered that after the initial fee had been paid publication rights were granted without further charge.

Sam Morse spoke next about issues related to using images in teaching. An art historian must have a large and constantly refreshed range of images to use in classroom teaching. For teaching faculty who rely heavily on instruction using visual images, it is impossible to physically approach each image holder one-by-

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

one. It is important for teachers to know where copyright ownership lies and to what extent it is possible to use images from online. He suggested the importance of collaborating with sister institutions such as ArtStor and visual resources libraries to address these questions. He also reiterated the importance of personal connections in getting permissions.

The discussion that followed focused on the financial aspect of gaining permission from established institutions and the need for creating guidelines for image-owners in Japan that clarify the difference between academic and commercial publishing.

The example of Tokyo National Museum was raised. TNM now outsources its image rights to a third party, TNM Archives, which is a for-profit operation. The fee for images ranges from ¥10,000 - ¥20,000. Such organizations need to understand the value of making their images available to academic publishing that serves a very important educational and cultural mission. It is also essential for rights owners to understand that academic authors, who must personally pay the permissions costs for images in their publications, cannot afford the rates charged by many Japanese image providers.

It was noted that TNM Archives’ contact information is posted on the TNM webpage. There is a gateway to the archives from the museum. Large institutions (like TNM) also have specific individuals who deal with permissions. The names of those contacts should be included in the materials produced by the task force to help scholars know whom to contact at given organizations. Additionally it would be wise to include a template for asking permissions and requesting information from image banks.

In planning for the guidelines the IUP will produce the example of those produced by the NCC’s Digital Resource Committee were suggested as a model. The DRC’s Basic Guidelines and Requirements for Vendors of Japanese Digital Resources were created collaboratively by the DRC with input from Japan studies librarians in North America with the goal of communicating to Japanese suppliers the special needs of their overseas customers with regard to Japanese digital resources. The DRC guidelines, produced in English and Japanese, have proved valuable both for educating foreign librarians about how to go about arranging licensing agreements with vendors, and for vendors in understanding the realities and size of the foreign academic market for digital databases. A parallel set of guidelines for the IUP could be equally useful to the owners and users of visual images.

Session Three focused on issues of access and permission for images held at institutions. Izumi Koide, Anne Nishimura Morse, Haruko Nakamura, and Eiko Sakaguchi, all curators of collections at libraries or museums, led this roundtable discussion.

Izumi Koide spoke about the process of gaining permissions from the perspective of Japanese institutions. She stressed that it is important to locate the image first. With the image in hand, one can start to locate the owner of the image and to request permission. In her experience helping authors, she found that there is no set language in asking permission to use images. She found it most effective to call institutions individually before requesting images to find out what specific wording was suggested and to use the exact terms suggested by that institution in the request letter.

Images she received were also provided in different media: as transparencies, film, image duplicates, and image duplicates with a required return. There was no fee for rights, but money was generally required to make duplicates. The process was very long and cumbersome and took approximately one year from the initial request to making (and returning) the image. Although authors or publishers may say they need images within a month, the reality is that it takes much longer.

Haruko Nakamura raised the issue of images for which the copyright holder cannot be found and encouraged the task force to include in its guidelines details of what constitutes a reasonable search. If a copyright holder cannot be found, the author should be advised to use a disclaimer to the effect that the holder should contact the author if he/she feels she owns the right to the image used.

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

Eiko Sakaguchi also pointed out that individual images may be “held” by different (multiple) people. Often a museum or library is just the physical location where the object itself is. For example the University of Maryland’s Gordon W. Prange Collection includes comics by well-known authors, who still hold the copyrights.

She also pointed out that even if an image is in the public domain, as a courtesy to the owner of the object, an author should still ask for permission. She provided the task force with a copy of the Prange Collection’s form for requesting use of images from this collection. It was also reiterated that institutions have a legitimate interest in ensuring the quality of images that may be reproduced from their collections and may ask very specifically how the image will be made (reproduced), used and disseminated.

Using the example of the MFA, Anne Nishimura Morse explained why images may be expensive to buy. Museums often do not have images of their own objects, and it is expensive to make images. It costs $150- 200 at the MFA for each image used for academic purposes. In 1985 the MFA owned only six black and white images of its Japanese collection. Now the collection is being entirely digitized.

Smaller museums may not necessarily have images to lend. Additionally publishers who photograph museum collections may hold the visual images and copyright permission, and scholars may be advised to approach publishers first rather than asking the museum that owns the object.

Several members agreed that the copyright holder might not be the person/institution that holds the image and asked how the task force can best make users aware of who “might” own a given image. It could be the photographer, the agency (where the image resides), an image broker or others. A good place for scholars to start in the US is the publisher of any publication in which an image has appeared. The publisher of such volumes should know who owns the copyright.

Further distinctions between scholarly and commercial images need to be made. Getting commercial entities to underwrite the creation of images for scholarly use may be possible. The creation of an FAQ sheet for users to explain the costs of making images was suggested.

The Afternoon Session was chaired by Eiko Sakaguchi and focused on the charges of the task force and the next steps for setting protocol; working with Japanese institutions, and educating American scholars.

Victoria Bestor and Tokiko Bazzell reviewed the memos and materials prepared by task force co-chair Robin Le Blanc and reviewed the charges to the task force. The task force is charged with creating guidelines for legal use of images. To do so it needs to:

• define the target audience • make a list of issues involved • define the boundaries of copyright/fair use, informed by a legal scholar • create guidelines in simple language • develop templates for permission request/access letters • include provisions for electronic resources and FAQs, and • create links to Japanese institutions and useful websites.

Akio Yasue spoke about the problems of image use encountered in Japan. Japanese scholars have similar problems to their American counterparts, however unlike in the US, generally the Japanese publisher and/or editor deal with these issues, not scholars themselves.

Before coming to the meeting he discussed image access with a colleague at the University of Tokyo Press, who explained that in Japan images in scholarly publications may be exempt from copyright under the quotation provision of Japanese Copyright Law (Article 32-(1)). All the Japanese Copyright Law commentary explain this quotation provision as shu-ju kankei which say that as long as shu-ju kankei exists between a new writing (shu) and an image (ju) used in support of a written text as the servant to the text it illustrates, it is regarded as a quotation and therefore it is permissible to use such image(s) in research

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

works without consent of the copyright holder. In such a situation Japanese Copyright Law permits an author to freely use an image to illustrate text that supports the author’s own arguments.

The question was raised as to whether there is a standard application of copyright permission in Japan. Rather than there being a publishers’ standard per se, copyright law in Japan is set by Bunkachô (Ministry of Cultural Affairs). Clearly this is an area that needs greater understanding among scholars outside Japan.

The discussion of fair use of images. While fair use provisions may be understood to apply to written text and the legal quoting of a limited portion thereof, it is tricky with images because fair use deals with a percentage of a work, and the same concept does not apply since there is never a percentage of an image. Elaborating on the notion of fair use or the public domain in the case of images, one must always consider the issue of moral rights. Any change to an original image (such as from color to b/w) is a question of copyright.

On the question of images in the public domain, the University of Chicago Permissions guidelines used by the Association of American University Presses (copies of which were provided to the task force by co-chair Robin Le Blanc) was cited as having a clause that states that two-dimensional objects are in the public domain and therefore no permission to use an image of a two-dimensional object should be needed from a museum, temple or other institution which may own the original. A screen is a two dimensional object in the public domain. That principal also says that two-dimensional objects can be scanned. Similarly scans or photographs of photographs are in the public domain.

It was suggested that the task force look to Fair Use precedents for guidelines. Materials on the site of the Ithaca College Media Literacy Project may provide examples and other good examples should be sought.

Pat Crosby provided further comments from the perspective of American publishers. She raised the point that historians were more attuned to visuals than in the past. Because of scanning technology everyone wants to include images. Scanned images have a lower resolution. To ensure the quality of the resulting publications, publishers have a need to require scholars to use images of a certain quality or level of resolution.

She noted that North American rights generally give permission for single use. If a book goes into reprint (a second printing), that is considered an additional “use.” It is necessary, therefore, for authors to ask for as broad a possible range of rights (uses) initially to cover all eventualities.

Most information on what can be copyrighted is available, but there are many sources, some of which may be confusing. Authors need to inform themselves, and the task force can play an important role in providing information in a clear and forthright manner. She reported the results of an informal poll she conducted with successful authors who said the most important thing one needs to get permissions is personal connections.

Considerable discussion was devoted to the differences in publishing climates in the US and Japan and the importance of distinguishing between academic and commercial publishers. Because in Japan the distinction between academic and commercial purpose is not so clear-cut, it is very important to spell out the limited circulation and profitability of foreign academic publications. Also in Japan it is not always possible to identify the audience for a publication by looking at the publisher, since there is not a university press system in Japan as there is in the States. The task force should promote the public diplomacy/cultural exchange aspect of academic publishing. It would be helpful to try to define a different category for academic publishing with an accompanying fee-structure for academic publication rights.

Plan of Action for the IUP Task Force:

The task force was asked to set a timeline and task list for the upcoming year with the goal of being able to present results by next summer (2008).

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

An overall meeting summary will be circulated among task force members. In addition the task force will approve a brief statement of its goals for circulation both in the US and Japan. The summary statement will outline the problems facing scholars outside Japan to help the Japan side better understand the problems of foreign scholars, and to seek the advice of Japanese colleagues to facilitate access to images for scholars outside Japan.

The statement should emphasize that the confusion and misunderstanding regarding obtaining permissions is largely due to insufficient understanding among American scholars, and the task force (representing the scholarly community) seeks the input and advice on developing a set of “best practices” for publishing Japanese images. The task force will encourage a collaborative and ongoing effort in this area.

The summary statement will be produced both in English and in a version translated into Japanese. NCC Japan Liaison Akio Yasue will coordinate communications with colleagues in Japan and will work with other task force members who may be in Japan.

In the final session the task force summed up the meeting discussions and planned the next steps of the task force. An important mission for the task force is to help young scholars be aware of what they will need by way of permission to use images at a future date. Researchers need to keep that question firmly in mind from the beginning of their research, to seek permission at the time of research and to get a copy of an image (even if it is not the final version that may ultimately be used in publication).

• It was suggested that the task force conduct a simple survey for North American scholars and librarians asking for examples of their experiences and problems encountered in gaining access to image and getting permission for their use.

The content of the survey was discussed: • What disciplines to include • including a question about which Japanese institutions were being contacted for images • if particular institutions were more important/commonly used • if or what kind of letter was used • what kind of rights were being asked for • recommendations for guidelines • for what purpose did you need images • what extent personal contacts played a role in obtaining permission • how did you locate/access images • how did you go about getting information about permissions • where the scholar is located • what scholars might want to know about obtaining permissions

The survey will be the first step to further inform the task force in its creation of guidelines for image use to educate North American scholars using the NCC Website.

A timeline for the task force for the next few months was outlined as follows: September 30 – approval of survey draft October 15 – survey uploaded to NCC website and publicized on relevant Listservs November 15 – end of online survey Results analyzed by January meeting

Simultaneously, members of the task force will work on a rough draft of guidelines to be completed by the January meeting. For guidelines it was pointed out that the task force should elicit suggestions from image owners to determine what they want included in permission requests for image use.

It was decided that Ted Bestor will draft the survey, and Haruko Nakamura and Eiko Sakaguchi will analyze the results which will be ready to present to at the NCC’s January 2008

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

Working Meeting. Sharon Yamamoto and Vickey Bestor will compile a meeting summary for circulation to the task force members and will draft the summary statement (also for review by the task force) for circulation in Japan. Izumi Koide will translate the letter into Japanese. Akio Yasue will take the lead in circulating the letter and discussing it with colleagues in Japan. He will also report on discussions in Japan at the January 2008 NCC Working Meeting. All members will take roles in helping to draft the guidelines.

Discussion then turned to permission request letters. A number of sample letters were received from scholars in the field including task force member Gennifer Weisenfeld and from Patricia Graham of the Japan Art History Forum (JAHF).

The importance of making clear an author has a copy of an image in hand was strongly reiterated as part of any letter.

The importance of having a signature line on the permission request letter was strongly emphasized because it makes it easier for the copyright holder to complete and return the form. The conditions for use of the image should also be clearly stated. These include the estimated price of the eventual publication, its trim size, and the estimated number of pages, the estimated publishing date should all be included in the letter.

It was also noted that rather than having separate permissions letters in both Japanese and English, request letters should contain both languages so that both the holder who signs the document and the publisher who receives it can see clearly what the letter agrees to. Publishers like letters in English since their legal department may not be familiar with Japanese.

Also authors should request rights for the broadest possible range of venues and contingencies, for example, requesting permission to reproduce an image in all editions and all languages. Some institutions may be reluctant to offer all rights in all languages. However, requesting the broadest possible range of rights will alleviate the need for authors to go back and renegotiate rights for future editions.

Members agreed that the task force needs to develop a list of collaborating groups. For example, it might be feasible to contact Buddhist sects to encourage them to standardize image use practice among the temples in their sect.

Daigaku Shuppanbu Rengokai (The Association of Japanese University Presses), an organization of universities in Japan was suggested as an organization to work with and link to. The various Reproduction Rights Organizations (RRO), federations of image producers, and rights holders must also be involved. The task force must work bilaterally with different organizations. The task force needs to draft a statement to circulate to organizations in Japan to encourage them to think about the role of academic publications in promoting bilateral relations and therefore to accommodate scholars in their efforts.

Tokiko Bazzell and Vickey Bestor will explore prospects for holding a meeting or conference in Tokyo during the summer of 2008.

NCC Chair Tokiko Bazzell closed the meeting, asking all attendees to continue to assist the task force.

SUGGESTIONS MADE REGARDING CEAL STATISTICS

East Asian collections surveys were first administered by Dr. Tsuen-hsuin Tsien (錢存訓) beginning in 1958. Over the past fifty years, the value of CEAL statistics has been recognized and used to map out and compare collection growth, institutional support, services and new development. Online input has been implemented since 2002, covering 1998 to current statistical data. By 2007, data prior to 1998 were entered into the online system using various print sources by members of the CEAL Statistics Committee. Users will have access to CEAL statistical data from the earliest year to the most recent by March 2008.

Two suggestions were made in 2007. One was in regard to “Table 6 Fiscal Support of East Asian Libraries and Collections.” The Suggestion was to “add a sub-total for appropriations limited to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language materials only.” In recent years, a few participants have had more than half of their appropriations under the Non-CJK column. The addition of a “CJK appropriations sub-total” would distinguish the two and allow for better interpretation. As the printed form is limited in space, it would be difficult to add a new column. However, a sub-total for CJK-only appropriations will be added as a searchable variable to the ranking page, accessible by password. One possible solution for the printed form is to select major columns to print.

Another suggestion was to add electronic books (e-books) collection data. The committee assessed input from libraries that have been, or were planning on, collecting e-books. Of the data fields in ARL’s Supplementary Statistics Survey Summary, only “number” and “expenditures” for electronic books appear to be meaningful and collectable for East Asian collections. The rest is usually administered and analyzed centrally, and not reported to this group. It was subsequently agreed that only two data fields would be collected: “number of electronic books” and “expenditures for electronic books.” Although there is no room for the addition of the printing form in Table 9, “Electronic Resources of East Asian Materials of North American Institutions,” they will be included in the online form in 2008 statistics survey form to accommodate this change. A decision will be made later regarding whether to include e-books statistics in the printed form if a majority of libraries have collection data.

Forthcoming Data on Electronic Books* 1. Number of electronic books held. ______This number is a subset of “volumes held” reported in Table I, in the ARL Statistics.

2. Expenditures for electronic books. ______Include annual access and service fees paid directly or through consortial arrangements. Include initial purchase cost only for items purchased in the current fiscal year. Expenditures reported here are only for the electronic books reported in Table 1.

The Committee requests your input on whether to continue providing the printed copy of the Statistics or instead to move toward online publication only.

Grand Opening of T. H. Tsien Library in Nanjing University: an International Celebration

On November 1, 2007, the opening of T. H. Tsien Library was formally held in Nanjing University, Nanjing, China. To celebrate this event, Nanjing University and the University of Chicago Library co-organized a two-day international symposium on November 1-2 in Nanjing University. A total of forty-seven scholars, librarians, and university administrators from China, Taiwan and the United States attended the celebration and symposium by invitation. A good number of graduate and undergraduate students from Nanjing University also participated in this festive event.

Professor Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien, Curator Emeritus of the East Asian Library and Professor Emeritus of the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago, is one of the most accomplished and respected scholar-librarians in the field of East Asian librarianship of all time. He came to the University of Chicago in 1947 and has stayed on campus ever since for more than 60 years. From 1949 to 1978, Dr. Tsien served as the first Curator of Chicago’s East Asian Library and taught as a faculty member both in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and the Graduate Library School in the University. During his tenure at the University of Chicago, Tsien not only built successfully one of the finest East Asian collections in North America but also trained a generation of East Asian librarians and scholars. Many of his students are library leaders and faculty members today in institutions of higher education in the U. S., Taiwan and elsewhere.

Dr. Tsien also made great achievements in research and scholarship. He is the author of more than 150 scholarly publications including two very influential monographs on the history of Chinese books, paper and printing, Written on Bamboo and Silk: The Beginning of Chinese Books and Inscription (University of Chicago Press, 1962; 2nd revised edition, 2004) and Paper and Printing (Cambridge University Press, 1985) in Joseph Needham’s Science and Civilisation in China series. Tsien is also well-known for his initiation of statistical surveys in 1950-1970s on East Asian library resources in North America, the predecessor of today’s CEAL statistics.

Nanjing University (formerly University of Nanking) is Tsien’s Alma Mater—he graduated from the University in 1932 with a major in history and minor in library science. In 2006, Professor Tsien decided to donate his life-long private collection to Nanjing University. The Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences (IAS), a newly established research institute in Nanjing University, was chosen to home Tsien’s donation, which contains more than 6,000 volumes of publications in Chinese, Japanese and English. The donated books were shipped to China from New York through the “Books-for-China Project,” organized by John Ma, formerly librarian of Cornell, the Hoover Institute, and Amsterdam. To honor Dr. Tsien’s distinguished long career, renowned scholarship, and generous donation, the IAS of Nanjing University decided to name its new library “T. H. Tsien Library”.

To celebrate the grand opening of the Tsien Library, the University of Chicago Library and Nanjing University worked together to organize an international symposium held in Nanjing with a grant from the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange program. This meeting, entitled the International Symposium on Sino-American Cultural Exchange and Library Development, was co-hosted by the University Library, the Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences (IAS), the Institute for Publishing Research, and the Department of Information Management of Nanjing University.

The two-day conference began with a keynote speech by Professor Choyun Hsu, Professor Emeritus of the University of Pittsburg and Guest Professor of the Nanjing University’s IAS. His introduction was followed by welcome remarks and opening speeches made by Professor Zhang Yibin, Vice President of Nanjing University, Professor Hong Xiuping, Director of Nanjing University Library, Mr. James Cheng, Librarian of Harvard-Yenching Library, Harvard University, and Ms. Xiaoshan Qian, Professor Emeritus of Nanjing Normal University and the representative of the Tsien family. Vice President Zhang and Professor Qian unveiled the name plaque of the T. H. Tsien Library and announced its opening.

Twenty-four papers were presented in the two-day conference. Among them, nine were given by the participants from the United States including Dr. Hwa-wei Lee, Chief of Asian Division, Library of Congress, Mr. James Cheng, Librarian of Harvard-Yenching Library, and Dr. Tai-loi Ma, Director of East Asian Library, Princeton University. Four presentations were made by the attendees from Taiwan, and the rest (eleven) were given by scholars and librarians from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Nanjing, China. The papers were well received by the audience and generated interesting discussions in the sessions as well as during the tea breaks, lunches and dinners. The conference was concluded by Dr. Tsien’s video presentation. The Symposium was a great success where various topics on or related to Sino-American cultural exchange and library development were discussed. It also offered a wonderful opportunity for participants from China, Taiwan and the United States to get to know each other, to interact, and to develop professional ties and scholarly networks.

RETIREMENTS

On Bill McCloy’s Retirement

By Rob Britt

Introduction William B. McCloy, past CEAL president, retired on January 2, 2008 after nearly 36 years working in libraries, including 31 years working with East Asian language materials. I have worked with Bill for 18 1/2 of those years, from 1989 to the present, at the Marian Gould Gallagher Law Library at the University of Washington, in Seattle. He has been not only a wonderful mentor, but a trusted colleague, and most importantly, a friend. The following is a brief look at Bill as a person, and as a major contributor to the field of East Asian librarianship.

First Impressions I first met Bill when he came to interview for the position as head of the Comparative Law Department (later called the East Asian Law Department) at the Marian Gould Gallagher Law Library (MGGLL), in February 1989. At the time, I was new to libraries (I graduated from the University of Washington Jackson School of International Studies in 1987). I had been working in the department, which was temporarily without a head, for almost two years. I was very interested in learning more about working with Japanese legal materials. Although the law library staff were extremely helpful, no one had any experience with East Asian legal materials. So as far as East Asian materials went, I was “on my own” for an extended period.

As you can imagine, for me the prospect of someone of Bill’s stature coming to work in the department was very welcome. I had high hopes that this new person would be able to show me the ropes of East Asian librarianship. Luckily for me, Bill accepted the position and came to work at MGGLL in May 1989.

As it turned out, my initial optimism was definitely justified. Bill’s wide library experience and in-depth knowledge of Chinese and Korean proved to be a very fortunate combination of skills, both for our library and for me personally. He was instrumental in bringing the East Asian Legal Collection into the computer age. Along the way, he gave me guidance on how to provide useful services to faculty, students and other patrons of our library. Over the years, Bill’s influence on others in libraries has been great. His leadership has been by example, and it can be clearly seen in his record of accomplishments in libraries and library organizations.

Background and Training Bill’s grandfather worked in China beginning about 1912 for the YMCA as a trainer of physical education teachers. Later, his grandfather taught at National Southeastern University in Nanjing. Bill’s father was born in China in 1914 and lived there until 1926 when the family returned to the United States. His father eventually became a professor of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at the University of Illinois.

Bill grew up in Urbana, Illinois, and attended the public schools there. He spent his senior year of high school (1962-63) in Taiwan, attending an American School there, while his father taught at Cheng Kung University in Tainan on a Fulbright fellowship. During the family’s year in Taiwan, Bill had a Chinese language tutor. That was the beginning of his interest in East Asian languages. After high school graduation, he attended first the University of Illinois, and then the University of Hawai'I, from which he graduated in 1967, with "academic commendation" and a degree in Chinese language.

Bill joined the Peace Corps after college and was sent to South Korea for two years where he spent a year each in Incheon and in Seoul. In Korea, Bill studied Korean intensively, and in 1969 he was the winner of the Presidential Prize in the Foreigners’ Korean Language Speech Contest sponsored by the Korea Herald.

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

When he returned from Korea, Bill pursued a Masters degree in Linguistics from the University of Illinois. He graduated in 1971. Immediately afterwards, he entered the Masters in Library Science program at the University of Illinois, and graduated in 1972.

Work History (1972-2008) Bill held a total of five library positions between 1972 and 2008, four of them in East Asian libraries or collections. Starting in 1972, he worked as a Chinese and Korean cataloger at the University of Illinois Far Eastern Library. There, he worked with Ernst Wolff, who was a librarian and a Chinese literature scholar. Bill’s colleagues included Yasuko Makino and Robert Sewell. In addition to cataloging, Bill handled Korean acquisitions.

In 1975, he moved to Indiana University Libraries where he worked as a Cataloger of Chinese Materials, cataloging and classifying Chinese and Korean language monographs and serials in all subject areas. Bill also established policies and priorities for the handling of East Asian materials and provided reference service and catalog maintenance for China/Korea–related materials.

In 1977, he was promoted to the position of Head of the Special Languages Cataloging Department at Indiana University Libraries and held that post until 1984. During this time, he was in charge of the cataloging of non-Roman script and related languages. In that position, he supervised a major project to catalog a large collection of Tibetan language materials. These were among the first Tibetan language materials to be cataloged on OCLC. Bill’s colleagues at Indiana included Shizue Matsuda and Wen-ling Liu.

In 1984, Bill temporarily left East Asian libraries to work as the Head of Technical Services at the Indiana University School of Law Library, a job he held until 1989.

From 1989 until his retirement Bill worked in the East Asian Law Department of the Marian Gould Gallagher Law Library at the University of Washington in Seattle, most recently as the Assistant Librarian for East Asian Law. As Head of the East Asian Law Department, he managed one of the premier collections of Chinese, Japanese and Korean legal materials in the country.

He served as a member of the Law Library's Collection Development Council and represented the department in the Library Council. Bill coordinated all activities of the East Asian Law Department: collection development, library materials selection, reference service, library instruction, classroom presentations, and the cataloging of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean materials. From 1996–1998, Bill organized and supervised a project to convert the Chinese, Japanese and Korean card catalogs (approximately 4,000 titles) to machine–readable form and to reclassify them to the new Library of Congress call numbers for Asian law. One of his co-workers in that effort was a new librarian, Jim Cheng.

Service to the Profession Bill has been a tireless participant and leader in many local, national and international library organizations over the years. His first contact with CEAL came when he attended a CEAL meeting on cooperative cataloging of Chinese materials, held in the early 1970s in Chicago.

A small sampling of Bill’s committee work includes time as a Member-at-large of the Asian and African Section Executive Committee of the American Library Association, Chair of the Asian-American Law Librarians Caucus of the American Association of Law Libraries, and of course his time as Acting President (1999-2000) and President (2000-2003) of CEAL. Prior to that, Bill also served on the CEAL Executive Board as Member at Large (1995-1998).

Final Thoughts It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Bill McCloy. His knowledge, skills and helpfulness have been invaluable to me personally and have made an impact on other librarians, faculty, patrons, and many others in countless ways.

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 144, February 2008

His particular impact on our institution and on East Asian libraries in general shines through remarks prepared by some former University of Washington Law School faculty on the occasion of Bill’s retirement party:

“It is people like Bill who really show that a library is more than a collection of books and computer terminals; it’s perhaps even more importantly the people that give their time generously and enthusiastically to users—whether students, faculty, or outsiders—to guide them in finding what they need.” –Prof. Don Clarke, George Washington University

“…I have no doubt that your continued commitment to the University of Washington was an important reason for [the continued success of the Asian Law Program]. Under your stewardship, the Asian law collection not only survived, it grew. It remains a crown jewel that no other law school can ever hope to replicate. Your leadership helped ensure its status as the foremost collection on Asian law in the United States. I am grateful.” Prof. Dan Foote, University of Tokyo

“Bill's leadership and his good judgment were critical. All of us in the field owe him an immeasurable gratitude. I can only add how much I continue to value Bill as a colleague and a friend.” Prof. John O. Haley, Washington University (St. Louis)

Bill plans to spend more time in retirement with his family, including with his two grandchildren. He also hopes to pursue hobbies that include raising beautiful irises and orchids. Here’s to a long and happy retirement!

Charles Wu

By Amy V. Heinrich

After nearly 40 years of service to Columbia University’s C.V. Starr East Asian Library, Charles (Chien- cheng) Wu retired as head of technical services at the end of December 2007. It will be a great change for the staff of the library to no longer have his leadership and expertise at hand. Still, change is a constant in life, and Charles was a friend to change for many years. Librarianship itself was a career change for Charles; he majored in Arabic language and Arabic studies as an undergraduate at Chengchi University in Taipei, and spent three more years studying at Jordanian University in Amman.

Charles Wu joined the staff of the East Asian Library in 1969 as an assistant cataloger while he was still in library school. Once he received his MLS the following year, he became cataloger in what was then called the Chinese section. While working as head cataloger and then assistant to the head of technical services, he went on to earn a masters degree in East Asian studies at New York University, focusing on Sino-Russian relations in the late nineteenth century.

Charles spent his whole career at Columbia, guiding the technical services of the East Asian Library through numerous periods of growth and change. His mastery of the mysteries of the early RLIN system helped the library reach and maintain high standards in cooperative cataloging over more than twenty-five years. His oversight of the processing of materials for Columbia’s offsite shelving facility was masterful as well.

We at Columbia’s C. V. Starr East Asian Library will miss Charles’ astute advice, his deep knowledge, and his willing cooperation in all of our Library challenges, but most especially we will miss our daily contact with him as a true good friend.

The Richard Charles Lee Canada Hong Kong Library

This new library at the University of Toronto developed from the Canada Hong Kong Resource Centre, which was established at the University of Toronto in 1994. In the thirteen years of its existence, the Centre built up a collection of about 40,000 items on Canada-Hong Kong studies and Chinese Canadian Studies. Now expanded and renamed the Richard Charles Lee Canada Hong Kong Library, the new library enjoys enhanced support by the University of Toronto Library system. New Director of the Canada Hong Kong Library Jack Hang-tat Leong plans to have the collection cataloged (only about a quarter is cataloged now, and those records exist only in a local database) so that it will be searchable in the University of Toronto catalog and WorldCat as well.
