WORLD DIGITAL LIBRARY AND E-RESOURCES IN THE ASIAN DIVISION, LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
Mi Chu Wiens Asian Division, Library of Congress
On November 22, 2005, in an article in the Washington Post, the Librarian of Congress, Dr. James H. Billington, announced a great initiative, proposing the cooperative building of a World Digital Library, which would offer “the promise of bringing people closer together by celebrating the depth and uniqueness of different cultures in a single global understanding.”1 The Library has had fifteen years of experience with digital activity and in the past five years has launched various digitization projects with other countries. Within the framework of the Library, the Asian Division has also made great strides in its efforts, illuminated by three recent successful cooperative agreements.
On October 1, 2004, the Library and Academia Sinica (Taipei, Taiwan) signed an agreement for the digitization of China-related maps. The digital experts from Academia Sinica Computing Center paid two working visits in 2004 and 2005, created digital images of 21,000 maps and 840 aerial photographs, and took them back to Taiwan for post-digitization processing. This digital file will be incorporated into the Chinese Civilizations in Time and Space (CCTS) database and supported by a historical geographic information system with spatial-temporal applications.
Prior to the Library-Academia Sinica collaboration, the Asian Division invited Prof. Li Xiaocong of Beijing University to review and provide descriptions for three hundred pre-1900 Chinese maps, most of which were brought to the Library by Dr. Arthur W. Hummel, the first Chief of the Asian Division (then named the Department of Chinese Literature). During his four-month stay in 2002, Prof. Li examined in detail Chinese manuscripts and woodblock printed maps, including those in scrolls, on fans, and rubbings of maps on stone, dating from the 12th century. Professor Li’s work resulted in the publication of a bilingual edition (Chinese and English), with illustrations, entitled Descriptive Catalogue of the Traditional Chinese Maps in the Library of Congress (Beijing, Wen wu Publishing Co., 2004).
Another achievement was the international cooperation between the Library and National Central Library (Taipei, Taiwan) in the digitization of the Library’s most valuable Chinese rare books. The origins of the Chinese collection go back to 1869, when the Library received ten works in 905 volumes from the Tongzhi Emperor of China (reigned 1856-1875), as part of an exchange authorized by the Congress two years earlier. During the decade after these books arrived in Washington, the Library acquired another 237 titles from Caleb Cushing (1800-1879), the first U.S. minister to China, who purchased Chinese books in 1844 when he negotiated the first U.S. treaty with China. The collection quickly grew in the early twentieth century with the acquisition of some 6,000 volumes in 1901-1902 from William W. Rockhill (1854-1914), the American diplomat and China specialist, and a gift of 198 works in 1,965 volumes from the Chinese government at the conclusion of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. The Library also purchased collections from Dr. Feng Jinggui in 1913, Rockhill again in 1915, and Berthold Laufer (1874-1934) in 1928. Returning after thirteen years as a missionary teacher in China, Arthur Hummel (1884-1975), as the first Chief of the Asian Division, made major efforts during his tenure of twenty-six years (1928-1954) to acquire rare Chinese books and presided over the growth of Chinese collection to its world-class status.
The agreement between the Division and the National Central Library (Taipei, Taiwan) on the digitization of the Division’s Chinese rare books was signed in May 2005. Since then a team of technical specialists from Taiwan has been working on site to digitize selected titles, which are being reviewed by two Chinese rare book experts, Dr. Poon Ming-sun and Mr. Fan Bangjin, for authentication and annotation regarding the condition of these rare books. Funded by Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation and by the Library’s Conservation

Division, the goal of this collaborative project is for the two libraries to share each other’s digitized databases of Chinese rare books and make them easily and freely accessible to researchers worldwide.
Most recently, in December 2005, the Asian Division acquired exclusive use of the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) of Chinese Civilization in Time and Space (CCTS) and Taiwan History and Culture in Time and Space (THCTS), which will give researchers a tremendously useful online tool in locating geographic areas of China and their related local histories and links to other databases. The Division has requested permission to gain access to some twenty-two other databases created by Academia Sinica, mostly in the humanities and social sciences.
The Asian Division has also participated in digital activity within the Library. In June 2004 the Naxi Manuscript Collection website,2 the first Area Studies LC-only Global Gateway collection, was released. Dr. Mi Chu Wiens of the Asian Division started the project in 1998 with a grant from the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for three years (1998-2001.) The collection is made up of documents written by Naxi shamanistic priests in what is known as the only living pictographic language in the world These manuscripts, which detail the unique cosmology of the Naxi people of the Yunnan Province, China, illustrate a wide range of Naxi myths and legends, such as the creation of the world, sacrifice to the serpent king and other principle gods, accounts of Naxi warriors and other people of high social standing ascending to the realm of deities, and love-suicide stories. An annotated catalog of the Library’s entire Naxi collection, a 39½-foot scroll used in funerary ceremonies, and translations by Joseph Rock of two of the manuscripts are also found on the Naxi Manuscript Collection website.
In close collaboration with the International Research Center of Japanese Studies (Nichibunken), the Asian Division digitized the Library’s Nara Ehon collection of four titles (Shizuka, Homyo Doji, Shigure and Soga Monogatari) and made available over 2,000 digital images, including 173 color illustrations, on the Library’s OPAC. Nara Ehon, a type of colorfully illustrated manuscript book of stories and tales, were produced during the Muromachi period (1333-1573) up to the middle of the Edo period (1615-1868.) The Nara Ehon books are considered to be the earliest popular illustrated books in Japan.
The Asian Division is also currently digitizing The Tale of Genji, a set of sixty-volumes. This is the second collection in the Asian Division to be digitized in collaboration with Nichibunken. The Library’s holding is a rare and complete set of the 1654 edition including not only the main text of 54 volumes of Genji Monogatari [Tale of Genji], but also Meyasu (a commentary on keywords and phrases in the main text) in three volumes, Keizu (genealogy) in one volume, Yamaji no Tsuyu (a sequel to the main text) in one volume and Hikiuta (index) in one volume.
The Japanese Ukiyo-e collection in the Prints and Photographs Division also benefited from the collaboration with Nichibunken. Under the agreement signed by the Library and Nichibunken in February 2005, a multi-institutional team of Japanese art historians consisting of Professor Shugo Asano (Chiba City Museum of Art), Professor Monta Hayakawa (Nichibunken), Ms. Shuko Koyama (Edo-Tokyo Museum), and Professor Juliann Wolfgram (California Technological Institute) led by Professor Atsushi Aiba (Nichibunken) visited the Library to study 2,331 Japanese prints mainly from the Edo-period. The team identified the prints by artist, date, title, series title for sets of prints, format, size, and other descriptive details of all these Japanese prints during their three-week stay. The Library has already finished the scanning of the Ukiyo-e prints collection with the financial support from Nichibunken. The product of this large-scale collaboration between Nichibunken and its multi-institutional scholarly team and the Library will be made fully available to the international research community through the Library of Congress and Nichibunken websites in 2006.
June 2005 in cooperation with the Japan Map Center of the Geographical Survey Institute in Japan, the Geography and Map Division digitized and made available a collection of large-scale Japanese maps (1816- 1819) by Inoh Tadataka via the Library’s webpage http://www.loc.gov/rr/geogmap/. This collection is the largest and most complete holdings of Inoh maps (207 out of 214) in the world, including Japan.

The rapid transformation of the digital environment and the ever-increasing number of electronic resources available have given great impetus to the Division and its staff to strive for identifying and acquiring e- resources on Asia as part of their standard responsibilities for collection development.
At present forty-five of the Library’s 219 subscription databases deal with Asian studies. These databases, such as Aardvark (Asian resources for librarians), Asian Development Bank Economics & Statistics (issued by the Economics and Research Department Asian Development Bank), Asian Law Bibliographic Database (from the University of Melbourne), Bibliography of Asian Studies (from Association for Asian Studies), Country Studies (produced by Federal Research Division, the Library of Congress), and Treaties and International Agreements (by Oceana Publications), are all accessible in the Library’s reading rooms. The Library also has a number of electronic databases in various divisions and departments provided free-of-charge.
In recent years Asian Division has made great strides in acquiring databases on Asia from outside of the Library. In the China area we have acquired Ren min ri bao dian zi ban 人民日报电子版 = The People’s Daily Electronic Version, 1946-2004, China Data Online, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)’s CAJ and CCND databases, and most recently we gained access to a 100,000-title monograph database from Superstar Digital Library. We have also acquired Si ku quan shu (Wen yuan ge edition) and Encyclopedia of Taiwan.
The Library has also acquired two important subscription databases for the Japanese collection: Directory of Japanese Scientific Periodicals (from the National Diet Library, covering 13,875 serial titles on science and technology published in Japan) and Kodansha Encyclopedia of Japan (based on the 1993 publication entitled Japan: an Illustrated Encyclopedia, with 11,000 entries). In addition, the Library currently subscribes to full-text databases of five major Japanese newspapers including Mainichi, Sankei, Chunichi, Tokyo and Yomiuri newspapers through a U.S. based commercial aggregator/vendor, Factive.com.
In the Korea area recent acquisitions were Chosun Daily Newspaper Archive (covering articles from the Chosun Ilbo, the most widely read newspaper in South Korea), Korean Studies Database (by KRPIA, covering history, literature and traditional medicines), Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS, a database of full-text articles from 6000 journals published by 1200 Korean academic institutions), and Law n B- Korean Law Database (Law and business, available in Law Library reading room only).
A recent addition is Library of Congress Asian Collections: an Illustrated Guide,3 the electronic version of a 2000 publication. Other databases include Korean Bibliography,4 which contains approximately 4,800 records of books about Korea in English up to 1995 held by the Library of Congress, and Korean Serials,5 which includes 6,325 periodical titles, including 177 titles from North Korea. Within the framework of the Library’s Portals to the World, Asian Division provides Asian Portals6 with links to electronic resources from forty countries and areas of Asia.
Other divisions of the Library, such as the Federal Research Division, Geography & Map Division, Prints & Photographs Division, and Manuscript Division also provide access to databases that contain information related to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries. Noteworthy are Country Studies,7 Library of Congress Geography and Maps: an Illustrated Guide,8 Global Legal Information Network (GLIN),9 the Guide to Law Online,10 an annotated guide prepared by the Law Library of Congress Public Services Division, and The Floating World of Ukiyo-e: Shadow, Dreams and Substance, an online exhibition catalog.11 There are also various online finding aids in Manuscript Division12 for personal papers of eminent personages, such as Caleb Cushing, Henry R. Luce, and Owen Lattimore, that contain Asia-related documents and records.

IDEOGRAPH VARIANT FORMS AND USAGE CONTROL IN NACSIS-CAT
Akira Miyazawa National Institute of Informatics, Japan
Preface
In the 2005 CEAL meetings in Chicago, I heard from several people that UNICODE, EACC and IME problems were a current issue in the OCLC and RLIN new cataloging systems. Sometimes I was asked a question about how our NACSIS-CAT cataloging system handles these problems. Of course, NACSIS-CAT has nothing to do with EACC, though it has been using UNICODE more than five years. Still, I thought it might be helpful for American CJK catalogers to know about character set handling in NACSIS-CAT. I would be glad if you find something useful in this article.
1. Introduction: NACSIS-CAT
Japanese catalogers in CEAL may not need introduction to NACSIS-CAT. However, for other area librarians, a brief introduction to NACSIS-CAT may be helpful. NACSIS-CAT is a shared cataloging system, similar to the OCLC and RLIN cataloging systems, operated by National Institute of Informatics (NII) Japan. It is part of a government supported program to provide a national information infrastructure for research activities. The system was developed by the Center for Bibliographic Information at the University of Tokyo and started its operation in 1984. National Center for Science Information Systems (NACSIS) was established in 1986 to operate this system, along with other scholarly database services. NACSIS was reorganized to NII, enhancing research function of broad fields of informatics in 2000.
In April 2005, over 1300 libraries (mostly Japanese university libraries including some European and Asian libraries) are contributing to the union catalog, which comprises more than seven million monograph titles, two hundred and eighty thousand serial titles, about eighty million holdings records, 1.3 million author name authority records and twenty-four thousand uniform title authority records. Weekly increase is about ten thousand titles and a hundred thousand holdings records. In addition to the union catalog, more than thirty three million MARC records of various countries, including Japan, USA, UK, Germany, Korea, and China, are loaded to be referenced for cataloging. Recent developments have enabled RLIN and OCLC databases to be referred online for cataloging.
First generation NACSIS-CAT system used JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) character code with private extension for European languages. Japanese, most Latin script written languages, and Russian could be handled with this character code. In 1996, a new NACSIS-CAT server client based system was introduced, and this new system was enhanced to use Unicode in year 2000. Now, it can handle almost all the languages.
NACSIS-Webcat Plus (http://webcatplus-international.nii.ac.jp/en/) is an open access web interface to the whole union catalog database produced by NACSIS-CAT. NACSIS-Webcat Plus and NACSIS-CAT both utilize CJK unified index, which enables cross variant form search (i.e., to retrieve or with ).
2. Unification, Source Code Separation and Z-variant
For a discussion of Unicode usage, some basic concepts and terms should be introduced. The first one is “unification”. This is a basic concept of Unicode [1]. By the glossary of Unicode, it is “the process of identifying characters that are in common among writing systems”. For example Õ in Turkish is unified with Õ in German and named LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS. Its code point is U+00D6. Hanzi, kanji or hanja in Unicode is called CJK unified ideograph. That means the repertory was made from Chinese, Japanese and Korean standard character sets with “unification”.
Unification of CJK unified ideographs was not a very simple job when the repertory was made in 1991 [2],
Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 explained in the Unicode Standard [5]. In short, it is to unify very similar shape variants like U+8fB6 with one dot and two dots.
In spite of the unification rules, characters U+6236, U+6237 and U+6238 are not unified in the repertory. This is due to the rule called source separation rule, or round trip rule. It is to ensure that round trip conversion between UNICODE and a source national standard code (such as JIS) does not cause loss of information. In this case, Taiwan national code distinguished these three “characters,” while Japanese, Korean and Chinese in that time made no distinction.
Variant like this case is sometimes called “Z-variant.” By the Unicode website, Z-variant is “Two CJK unified ideographs with identical semantics and unifiable shapes, for example, U+8AAA and U+8AAC.” [6].
Z-variant is caused by not only source separation rule but also by the need to keep compatibility with other sources. Korean pronunciation variants of a hanja necessitate 268 compatibility ideographs which are completely same form. Other reasons of Z-variant are described in the Unicode Standard [5].
There is another type of variant in the glossary called “Y-variant”. It is “Two CJK unified ideographs with identical semantics and non-unifiable shapes, for example, U+732B and U+8C93.” [6]. Characters of , and are also Y-variant examples.
Unihan database is a kind of dictionary attached in the Unicode Standard. It is also available through web page [7]. This database lists some other variant relations such as simplified variant or traditional variant. These variants can be classified as Y-variants.
One problem here is that there is no normative source of Z-variants or Y-variant. Unihan database is not a normative part of the standard. Y-variant is unquestionably language dependent. U+53F6 is simplified character of U+8449 in modern Chinese, but not in Japanese. U+82B8 is simplified character of U+85DD in modern Japanese, but not in Chinese.
Z-variants are less language dependent. Appendix S of ISO 10646 lists examples of Z-variants by source separation rules, but it is not an exhaustive list. In fact, the plan of providing complete source separation list was abandoned by the standard developer due to difficulties foreseen. Judgment about Z-variant or not is subject to personal view. There are certain number of people who claim U+9AD9 is not Z-variant of U+9AD8, but Y-variant. Z-variants interpretation of Unihan database is too broad, in my opinion. For example, U+85DD is listed as a Z-variant of U+82B8, though it might be just by a mistake. U+4E0A and U+4E04 is also a Z-variant.
The concept of Z-variant and Y-variant is acceptable for most of people. But actual assignment of variant relation to individual character is much more debatable.
3. Character set usage control
NACSIS-CAT system has a concept and a mechanism of character set usage control from the first generation system. It is to limit usage of certain characters in the character set and unify them with other characters in the set. This is introduced mainly to avoid cumbersome distinction between full and half width Latin alphabets.
Japanese encoding systems have two set of Latin alphabets due to parallel usage of double byte and single byte character sets. Double byte Latin alphabets (often called zenkaku or full-width) are distinguished from single byte alphabets. But, such distinction has meaning only in computers. There is no way to tell if an alphabet written on a title page is full width or not.
In NACSIS-CAT system, full-width and normal alphabets are regarded as same characters. To ensure this, the system normalizes input data. Full width alphabets input by users are converted to normal alphabets before stored in the database. This conversion is applied for all the input to the system, including search terms. You will not see full-width alphabets in the output from the system.
Character set usage control is intended to limit the character set, so that the complexity of cataloging k i d d Sit l l li ti b th t it t f th h t t
Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
4. CJK unified ideograph usage of NACSIS-CAT
When NACSIS-CAT started to support UNICODE, its character set usage control was expanded. In brief, Z-variants are unified. That is, for example, U+8AAA and U+8AAC are regarded as the same character. If a user inputs U+8AAA in a data entry, it is automatically converted to U+8AAC by the script level normalization process.
But, our Z-variant list is different from Unihan database. As mentioned before, Z-variants of Unihan database seems to be too broad. We selected our Z-variant list based on the Appendix S of ISO/IEC 10646.
You may ask if this causes loss of information. Yes, it may cause slight loss of information. But, catalog description can not copy everything. In Western languages, upper and lower cases are not preserved. Italic, bold or handwritten styles are not preserved. Information loss by Z-variant normalization is at the same level as those cases.
In fact, there are few complaints about this, and it definitely reduce burden of catalogers.
5. CJK unified index
Script level normalization should not be confused with a unified index to provide , and type access. Script level normalization is performed for all input data to the system. A unified index also normalizes certain characters, but it is only for the hidden index fields, which are invisible to normal users.
When a catalog record is written to the database, the system automatically extracts index words from the record. Then the words go through the unified index normalization process. This is to unify Y-variants. But our Y-variant list is, again, different from Unihan database. It is broader than Unihan database. As mentioned before, Y-variant is language dependent. We merge Chinese, Japanese and Korean Y-variants to provide one large list.
Here is an example of CJK unified index Y-variant group.
U+79C7 U+827A U+82B8 U+841F U+84B7 U+84FA U+8553 U+85DD
By the unified index normalization process, any occurrence of these characters is converted to the representative character ( U+82B8 in this particular case). The system also applies this process to all the search terms input by the user.
With this unified index, you may get an inappropriate result. The search term retrieves , too. This is not desirable, theoretically. But, in real cataloging application, this flaw seldom causes actual problems. The advantage of not needing to worry about variant forms is far more valuable.
6. Other character usage control in NACSIS-CAT
Character set usage control in NACSIS-CAT is not only for ideographs. Usage of symbols is also controlled. Hundreds of new symbols in addition to scripts became available when NACSIS-CAT introduced Unicode. Symbols include, for example, , and , which could appear in book titles.
None of these symbols are used in the NACSIS-CAT database. Even if you find a title “I L VE NEW YORK”, the description should be “I love New York” and the heart mark should be described in the note. Similarly, you don’t use Roman numeral in the pagination.
This limitation is to keep compatibility with existing records and also with the records from external source like US MARC.
7. Conclusion
Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
Z-variants and newly added symbols are excluded from the Unicode to provide catalog description character set. This usage control contributes to reducing from a cataloger’s workload details of judging variant forms.
Our usage control is based on Japanese linguistic sense and may not be applied directly to a different linguistic environment. But some kind of character set usage control is necessary for a very large character set like Unicode.

HANBOK, KOREAN TRADITIONAL DRESS: A SELECTED ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Sarah H. Jeong Wake Forest University
I. INTRODUCTION
Hanbok (한복) is a type of dress traditionally worn by all ages of people of Korean heritage. The basic dress design is comprised of two parts, an upper component, i.e. jacket, and a lower segment, i.e. pants or skirt. Each individual hanbok, however, possesses unique characteristics suited to the wearer’s tastes and preferences. The hanbok has a rich, storied past, and its structure and form have evolved along with the developmental changes in the cultural climate of the Korean people.
The origins of the Korean two-piece hanbok can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period (57 B.C.-668 A.D.). During this period, the Korean peninsula was divided among three kingdoms: Koguryo in the north, Paekche in the southwest, and Shilla in the southeast. The royalty and the aristocracy of these states created a demand for luxury goods, including daily costumes, which became symbols of political authority.
Traditionally, the woman's hanbok is composed of a jacket, known in Korea as the chogori, and a long skirt that wraps around the body, called a chima. The chogori is made up of two front panels, sleeves extending from dropped shoulders, a stand-up collar with a detachable paper collar strip (tongjong), and front bow (goreum). The fullness of the chima makes it wearable during pregnancy, and for added undergarments during the winter season. The men's hanbok consists of a longer chogori and paji, which are baggy trousers that are tied at the ankles.
A small purse is also carried with the women’s hanbok, and hangs from the waistband of the hanbok. The opening is a gathering of five folds of fabric. Purses are often embroidered with plums and lotus flowers. Additional elements of the hanbok include socks (poson), long bloomers (sok paji), a one-piece slip (sok chima), a removable white collar (tongjong), and an overcoat (turumagi).
Over the centuries, the length of the jacket has undergone many transformations. Paintings from the mid- Choson period illustrate women wearing chogori reaching to the waist. However, by the late Choson dynasty, the length of the chogori shortened to the armpit and possessed longer front panels.
Cotton was introduced in Korea in the late 14th century by Ik Jam Moon, a Korean envoy to China. The introduction of the cotton seeds to Korean farmers produced a revolutionary impact in the clothing industry of Korea. Cotton yarns and cotton textiles soon emerged, and cotton has become the main textile source of Korean clothing.
Today, the hanbok continues to be patterned after the style worn during the Choson dynasty (1392-1910). Many garments from the Choson Dynasty have survived. In this bibliography, many of the specialized sources on hanbok focus on the Choson dynasty.
In the United States, men, women, and children in the Korean-American community wear hanbok to celebrate the spirit of Korean national holidays, such as Lunar New Year and the Chusuk moon festival, Korea’s equivalent to Thanksgiving in the United States.
This selected annotated bibliography includes some of the most notable scholarly works, representing multiple genres, presently available on the subject of hanbok. The historical, aesthetic, psychological, and sociological aspects of Korean hanbok are covered in this collection of information sources.

TO EXTEND FUNCTIONALITIES OF WEBPAC BY DEVELOPING THE LIBRARY ONLINE CATALOGUE INTO A LIBRARY RESOURCES PORTAL – THE LINGNAN UNIVERSITY LIBRARY EXPERIENCE
by
Patrick LO (Cataloguing Librarian, Lingnan University Library, Hong Kong) & Owen TAM (Technical Services Librarian, Lingnan University Library, Hong Kong)
ABSTRACT
This paper examines the current trends, as well as the potentials of the future library online public catalogue (OPAC). It is written to speak to the interest of the library community as well as OPAC designers, with the aim of investigating the role the librarian should be playing, along with the catalogue developments for the community, and new trends for information services.
This paper is divided into 6 parts. It commences with an overview of the developments of the OPACs at different stages, followed by detailed descriptions on the attributes, as well as the limitations of the old and existing library catalogues, and defines the new concept of the future developments as a library portal for electronic resources. Part V documents Lingnan Library’s experience in extending the functionalities of the WebPAC by developing the Library Online Catalogue (WebPAC) into a Library Resources Portal. Finally, it offers proposal to respond to the dilemma of librarians as designers of the future library catalogue, i.e., to provide access to the expanding universe of information and knowledge.

I. INTRODUCTION
Recent penetration of the Internet to every aspect of the society is remarkable. Along with various types of access methods being developed, a great variety of information contents and services all become available provide through the Internet. Developments in library automation technologies have also changed the role and functional capabilities of the library’s Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), as well as traditional librarianship. Users can access Internet resources through the hot/URL links provided in Web-OPAC (WebPAC). Our library catalogue or OPAC is no longer just an inventory list or a finding aid for only what the library owns, but rather for everything to which the library has access. It has changed from just a list to a comprehensive content delivery mechanism.1 This paper discusses the new nature of OPAC and attempts to explore various ways that librarians as OPAC designers could enrich the contents of the catalogue and its records to provide easy and yet comprehensive access for Internet resources.
Traditionally, a library catalogue is mainly used as finding aid for locating items that are held inside the library building. A user checks the catalogue first, finds the call number, then goes to the shelf to get the book or goes to the microform collection to view the film. If an item is not available in the library, the user can check other libraries’ catalogue and obtain the item through interlibrary loans. For this purpose, traditional bibliographic records represented in OPAC are already sufficient. Because of the new feature of Web accessibility, the Web OPAC or the WebPAC can provide a direct link to the Internet resource that the user wants. And the information is just a click away. Therefore, the library catalogue is no longer just an inventory list or finding aid for what library owns, but rather, a portal to everything. WebPAC is not only a traditional list, but also a content delivery tool.2
In addition, the penetration of visual culture into scholarly activity not only necessitates improved access, but more widespread distribution of visual images. Other formats and materials, such as manuscripts and audio transcriptions, have ascended greatly in importance. The interest in these materials, which have often been sequestered in special collections, has risen in part as digital technology has facilitated their visibility and accessibility.3 One of the most successful scenarios can be found in the Digitization of Beethoven's 9th Symphony Project, carried out by the by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Berlin State Library). It is well acknowledged that the Berlin State

Library owns some impressive collections of manuscripts, autographs, as well as original music scores by some of the most important composers in the history of Western classical music from many centuries. The Music Department of the State Library Berlin also holds the almost complete autograph/original manuscript of the Symphony No. 9 in D Minor Op. 125 by Ludwig van Beethoven, written between 1822 and 1824. As part of the conservation treatment, as well as to make the visual impression of the original autograph of this globally-significant work accessible to everyone, while simultaneously creating a high quality film, the State Library Berlin completely digitized the original copy of this key musical work in the year 2000.4 The digital version can now be viewed at: http://beethoven.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de (Appendix I & II)

II. OVERVIEW ON DEVELOPMENTS OF LIBRARY CATALOGUES
Gradual developments in bibliographic standards, enormous advances in computer and communication technologies, and the growth of bibliographic utilities and networks have led to the design and development of online public access catalogues (OPACs). OPACs for libraries appeared in the 1980s. And Web-based OPACs (WebPAC) began to emerge in the late 1990s. Web OPACs are a natural progression in technological development and could be considered an advanced second generation OPAC.5 They are an advance on traditional OPACs serving as a gateway to the resources not only housed by the particular library, but also to the holdings of other linked libraries and further to regional, national and international resources.6

III. OVERALL IMPACTS ON TRADITIONAL LIBRARY SERVICES:
During the past 30 years, automation has brought speed, order, and quality control to many time- consuming and labour-intensive library operations. From the online public access catalogue to serials check-in to electronic circulation, the integrated library system has changed the way all librarians work. For example, automation in library catalogues has:
(a) greatly enhanced the catalogue’s Access Points, and thereby allowing comprehensive retrieval of materials in different formats, languages, and scripts in the most speedy and convenient fashion;
(b) allowed the same information to be shared by different people at different locations concurrently;
(c) enabled search results to be output as email, facilitating easy data manipulation afterwards;
(d) saved a vast amount of storage space;
(e) facilitated maintenance, as catalogue data could be exchanged, shared, manipulated, updated in the most convenient fashion;
(f) offered User Assistance online while searching;
(g) offered access to a vast body of full-text materials in electronic format, hence, saved staff time and effort from retrieving, shelving and re-shelving the materials;
(h) enabled usability via remote access, allowing access 24 hours a day, even when library is closed.
1. Other Impacts on Library Services:
“Today’s OPAC/WebPAC holds records for books and journals, films, finding aids, audio recordings, computer files, maps, and graphic images, although the preponderance of surrogates are still for monographs and printed materials. As libraries subscribe to more and more online journals, full-text documents, and other digital materials, catalogue records refer to publications accessible to a community through a variety of authorizations. No longer are all the citations in a catalogue to holdings owned by a library; pointing to materials served remotely has become commonplace. The purity of the principle that the local catalogue provides access to materials held by the host institution has become diluted slightly to accommodate items selected for community use and readily accessible, although not physically controlled by the library. On the other hand, some librarians have balked at the introduction of certain types of electronic resources into the catalogue, particularly those likely to have transient URLs or which require heavy maintenance. The catalogue represents stability, dependability, reliability, and quality. ”10
(a) Impact on Treatments of Full-Text & AV Materials -- With reference to full-text materials in electronic format, digitized audio and video materials (e.g. online video streaming, online audio music and spoken word libraries, etc.), electronic journals and databases available via the Internet have grown dramatically during
10
Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2005
the past few years. Some journal publishers have even terminated their print versions and now provide only Web accessible versions. Publishers and database vendors are rushing their Web products to the Internet and targeting libraries as a significant market. Because these resources can be accessed conveniently from any location with a Web connection, subscriptions to them have become increasingly popular in research and academic libraries. Libraries also make these subscriptions accessible through OPAC, with the built-in Web interface.11 In other words, electronic searching has become both efficient and comprehensive. As a result, some libraries today are slowly replacing traditional hardcopy of resources, or they will be completely replaced in the near future. In addition, nowadays, there has been a massive attempt to integrate traditional cataloguing principles into the electronic workflow. Along with an immense digitalization project of selected local governmental documents and other archival materials, all these have provided efficient online access to general interest documents.
(b) “i-mode OPACs” or Mobile Access to Library Catalogue – In Japan during the last five years, it has been very popular for students or faculty using wireless technology to transmit and receive data directly to and from the library catalogue via mobile phone systems capable of internet access. This kind of wireless network eliminates the necessity of cabling classrooms and libraries with all of the attendant labour and costs. Users can now access these resources at home and in the office. In library applications, on top of OPAC retrieval, mobile access has also been used for providing news and guides for library users. More new applications are being unveiled for the library as the future developments of mobile access in library applications, e.g.: to reserve of group discussion rooms or other facilities, etc. to send out overdue notice. to serve as a library-student communication tool.12
(c) Lingnan Library’s SMS Services via Mobile Phone – In August 2004, Lingnan University Library also began to provide SMS service via mobile phones to their users. When users’ mobile telephone numbers are enabled for SMS and are registered with Lingnan Library, users can receive automatically circulation notices via SMS, e.g., notices on ready-to-pick-up books or overdue items, generated from the library

catalogue at any time, anywhere.13
(d) Lingnan Library’s Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) Service – The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a choice of mobile computing for information management and general administration, which is becoming increasingly popular among the library patrons, for their use in referencing information and performing calculations. The portability of PDAs and their potential to provide current information in remote locations are the main reasons behind their popularity. Having recognized such potentials, and to encourage their library users to make the most of their PDAs, in November 2002, Lingnan University Library also began to allow their users to download the Monthly New Titles List onto their PDAs, with the aim to strengthen the public relationship values, as well as to encourage the circulation of library materials.14
2. Challenges for Librarians:
“In the past 20 years, libraries have witnessed a paradigm shift exemplified by the absence of card catalogues and the presence of computer terminals. The Internet will not seriously threaten the need for bricks and mortar libraries. I envision it stimulating the public’s need to more libraries and librarians. I believe that this is an important opportunity for the library community to capitalize on their greatest asset: their human capital. The lasting benefits of this endeavor will be a transformation of the work culture, increased facility with technology and an expansion of the skills set of the Central Technical Services staff.”15
“The introduction of new technologies and electronic documents confronted library staff with the new problems and redefined the role of the librarian towards readers. Users are drowning in information and often have trouble finding it even when sure of the optic of field. In this situation, the librarian should be a guide. The librarian who, in the past, only made the cataloguing cards (which we now call “recording the data”), is now also an information researcher.16
“During the same period that libraries have been asserting control over their backlogs of print1ed publications and have been shining their light on the hidden resources found in archives and special collections, the World Wide Web sprang to life. Few people had the clairvoyance to anticipate its astonishing growth and vitality. Today, it registers 1.5 million new pages per day, and with a present size estimated to be in excess of 2 billion pages, it represents a major challenge to the traditional library practices. As there is mounting evidence that students, faculty, researchers, and the general public are making the internet their information resource of the first and last resort, library values of careful selection, standardized description, and enduring access to publications are questioned as both costly and futile.”17

“Quality of service in automated digital libraries will not come from replicating the procedures of classical librarianship. More likely, automated libraries will provide users with equivalent services that are fundamentally different in the way they are delivered.”18
“The success and marketability of the twenty-first century library hinges upon its response to the Internet. Due in part to a reliance on commercial keyword search engines, patrons are becoming accustomed to “clicking” their way to immediate satisfaction of intellectual queries; this constitutes a “Net-ization” of traditional research habits and expectations.”19
(3) Roles and Future Challenges for Future Librarianship -- Librarians are in a unique position to guide people to research quality information. One of the major differences between librarians and commercial information providers is that librarians complement each other rather than compete against each other. To continue to provide quality service and information to the public, libraries need to apply their skills to organizing the World Wide Web resources. The process of integrating Internet resources into an OPAC is an ongoing process of balancing staff skills with user satisfaction. The library catalogue can then serve as a reliable filter. How useful would it be to search a commercial search engine if the results returned are several pages long, the sites may be irrelevant to the subject, and the URLs may be invalid. The role of the bibliographer and cataloguer will become crucial in helping patrons wade through the overabundance of information to find useful data.20 And for reference services, meanwhile, it is very likely that reference librarians will continue to provide suitable instructions – to teach users how to use retrieve library materials. As classrooms are wired or become wireless for technology, there is a great possibility that students training will shift from computer labs/user education rooms to classrooms or even to home. Computer labs will go the way of the dinosaur, freeing-up much needed space for other library equipment.

IV. LIBRARY CATALOGUES IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM:
“As we approach 2001, the information landscape appears to be considerably more complex than the one our predecessors populated. There is more information, the pace is more rapid and the means and formats for communication are more diverse. What contribution does the catalogue make in our quest to discover and retrieve knowledge? The catalogues, at the level of the local institution, provides the information-seeker with bibliographic description and access to content imbued with several critical features….the catalogue has come to represent access to a collection deliberately shaped with a specific community in mind. This collection, by virtue of having been selected by bibliographers or some other structured process, is deemed to be of high quality.”21
It can be overwhelming and in some ways impossible to predict all of the future allocations of technology in the library environment, as computer technologies evolves quickly. However, some trends are evident. For example, the OPAC is likely to continue for the foreseeable future, although it is evolving into more sophisticated versions, which emulate the look, feel, and functionality associated with WWW-based system, along with much more Web-like maturity.
It is predicted that the future WebPAC will still be built around the concept of a community, but a larger body of users than the typical library catalogue users. For example, unlike the traditional catalogue, future generations of the WebPAC will:
provide highly functional, dependable, and academically credible access to the Web, by integrating all manners of information in their scope, rather than concentrating exclusively on “published” information;
provide access to the highest quality content on the Web by employing search engines to harvest URLs and generate responses. The information they access will be prolific;
with the hyperlinked aspect to the Web, allow easy movement from document to document, and the generous amount of full-text resources will allow the user to harvest very specific terms. There will also be vastly more audio and visual data available;
allow the user to conduct his/her researches without the inconvenience or disruption of leaving the computer, and readily cut and paste the results of the searches into their own documents;
along with many other positive features of the Internet, rank search results by relevance and tailor them to personal specifications.

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2005
This future gateway-concept WebPAC catalogue will appeal strongly to those who prefer speedy access to online resources. It offers many of the desirable features of the traditional catalogue, since bibliographic control over its contents will still be carefully managed by librarians. The quality of service with the future WebPAC will not come from replicating the procedures of classical librarianship. But more likely, it will provide users with equivalent services that are fundamentally different in the way that they are delivered. It will facilitate the addition of high- qualityf material by fostering standards, searching across databases, and offering a variety of supporting tools. As a result, libraries, corporations, and many other organizations will be empowered to contribute to an accessible, distributed library. The existence and efforts of the library catalogue, therefore, will accelerate the growth of high-quality material and facilitate what has been referred to as the global relational library.22

V. DEVELOPING THE LIBRARY ONLINE CATALOGUE (WEBPAC) INTO A LIBRARY RESOURCES PORTAL
The demand for non-book materials for teaching and research came not just from tutors and students alone, but also from the natural evolution of education as a whole. Nowadays, in universities, and increasingly in secondary schools, the tendency towards supplying individual students with up-to-date materials in non-print format, with which to work independently or in small groups is growing drastically. The current situation which is evolving in education is that the books are being supplemented but by other materials in non-print formats, e.g., electronic resources, audio-visual materials, etc. Many academic libraries have already incorporated large collections of electronic books, videotapes, CDs, VCDs, DVDs, as well as streaming digital videos.
Brief Description of Lingnan Library’s Resources Portal Project: Previously, Lingnan Library’s WebPAC could only provide users access to mainly printed books housed inside the Library. Although their Library had also subscribed to many licensed full-text databases in electronic format, users must perform searching on WebPAC and full-text databases separately, in order to access to full-text materials on the same subject. Now, in contrast to this, instead of having to search different databases individually, users may, through the searching process enabled by the Library-Resources-Portal concept, perform searching on individual databases via using the WebPAC as a central gateway in the most convenient, comprehensive, speedily, and concurrent fashion – i.e., to enable them to perform One-Stop and simultaneous searching to search across, as well as to link up the library’s other defined information resources, including Z39.50 database, library catalogue, and other local digital collections, etc., at the same time, saving their References Services colleagues’ staff time and efforts in educating the users in using individual databases afterwards.
Lingnan University Library’s WebPAC Resources Portal Project can be summarized as follows:
First Attempt – To Enhance English Bibliographic Records by Adding Amazon.com URL Links2324 (Appendix III & IV) Project began in: began in summer 2003 and ongoing
Action taken: developed a local software programme to generate Amazon URLs which can be added to MARC records automatically. It saved staff-time and also eliminated errors caused by human in-put.

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2005
Results & beneficial outcomes: as of May 2005, over 77,000 English-language bibliographic titles have been enhanced with Amazon’s URLs, under the WebPAC. Such setup provides much more value-added information for the users in the speediest fashion, without the burden of inputting and maintaining the information from the library staff themselves. The value- added information includes: (i) Reviews on books, (ii) Cover arts and text, and book jackets (iii) Table of Contents (iv) Providing facilities for users to enter their own comments.
Examples: English bibliographic record enhanced with Amazon URL is available at: http://library.ln.edu.hk/search/aGelven%2C+Michael/agelven+michael/-2%2C- 1%2C0%2CB/frameset&FF=agelven+michael&3%2C%2C3
Second Attempt –To add 297 Naxos Spoken Word Library Online Titles to WebPAC25 (Appendix V & VI) Project began in: October 2004
Action taken: developed local software programme that could convert raw data into MARC records automatically.
Results & beneficial outcomes: (a) All Naxos Spoken Word Library titles can now be inter-searchable with our Library’s regular collection under WebPAC.
(b) Compared with manual cataloguing, the in-house developed software programme saved the library a total number of (14) working days.
Examples: all Naxos Spoken Word Library titles are now searchable under WebPAC, under AUTHOR, TITLE, KEYWORD, e.g.: http://library.ln.edu.hk/search/tNaxos+Spoken+Word+Library/tnaxos+spoken+word+library/-2%2C- 1%2C0%2CB/exact&FF=tnaxos+spoken+word+library&1%2C298%2C

Third Attempt -- To Introduce 4,676 Naxos Music Library Online Titles to WebPAC26 (Appendix VII & VIII) Project began in: November 2004
Action Taken: developed local software programme that could convert raw data into MARC records automatically. It saved staff-time and also eliminated errors caused by human in-put.
Results & beneficial outcomes: (a) All Naxos Music Library titles can now be inter-searchable with our Library’s regular collection under WebPAC.
(b) Compared with manual cataloguing, the in-house developed software programme had saved the library a total number of (270.5) working days.
(c) As regular update, at the end of July 2005, approximately 2,309 new titles from NML were added to the WebPAC. On top of the in-house (207) titles produced by Naxos, the new additions also included titles from the following 3rd-party label: (i) Analekta = 198 titles (ii) ARC = 153 titles (iii) Artek = 21 titles (iv) BIS = 1,202 titles (v) CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) = 92 titles (vi) First Edition = 40 titles (vii) Hanssler Classic = 356 titles (viii) Morrison Music Trust = 40 titles
Examples: all Naxos Music Library titles are now searchable under Library WebPAC, under AUTHOR, TITLE, KEYWORD, e.g.: http://library.ln.edu.hk/search/tNaxos+Music+Library/tnaxos+music+library/-2%2C- 1%2C0%2CB/exact&FF=tnaxos+music+library&1%2C4679%2C

Forth Attempt -- To Introduce 4,189 Apabi Chinese Electronic Book Titles (四庫全書) to WebPAC (Appendix IX) Project began in: April 2004
Action taken: worked closely with library system vendor INNOPAC and developed well- planned procedures for cleaning the data, as well as converting the MARC data and Chinese characters’ internal codes into appropriate formats. It saved staff-time and also eliminated errors caused by human in-put.
Results & beneficial outcomes: over 4,189 titles of Chinese “四庫全書” can now be searchable under WebPAC. Electronic full-text of these titles can also be accessed directly under WebPAC.
Examples: Apabi E-books “四庫全書” are now searchable under WebPAC, under AUTHOR, TITLE, KEYWORD, e.g.: http://library.ln.edu.hk/search/aApabi/aapabi/-2%2C- 1%2C0%2CB/exact&FF=aapabi&1%2C8%2C

VI. CONCLUSION
Libraries need to observe what is happening in the world in terms of technology and consumer habits. Since the beginning of 2000, libraries have witnessed a massive influx of handheld electronic communication tools into the market, the word “wireless” is everywhere, electronic commerce is burgeoning, Internet- and technology-related jobs are opening up rapidly, and a few publishers have decided to publish exclusively on the Internet. As a service-oriented community, the library community needs to recognize shifts in the behaviour of a rapidly growing portion of its clientele and respond to their needs.
As librarians, we presently lack the resources and the technologies to provide access to all the information we would like to include. But in the future, the library catalogue or (WebPAC), will continue to serve as an Internet Portal, a gateway to the Web, to offer access to a wide range of resources. They will differ from the traditional catalogue in a number of ways, perhaps most significantly in that they will facilitate searching and retrieval from a vast, often uncoordinated array of sites, rather than the carefully delimited sphere of the library collections. Web information will be more volatile, ephemeral, and heterogeneous.27
To respond to the shifting fashions and the increase in the functionalities of the WebPAC, libraries and librarians need to:28
increase the scope and coverage of materials;
ensure timely access to publications;
increase the level of access from citation to full-text increasing degrees of granularity;
incorporate features such as reference linking, recommended titles (others who liked this title also liked;), relevance ranking, customization, and personalization that make portals so captivating;
librarians will also need to advertise the features of the discovery database, a hybrid combining some of the best features of the catalogue and the portal, using local and global outlets;
quantify the value of the labour-saving features of the catalogue for the community of potential consumers and for those administrating the organizations, who subsidize them and stand to benefit from them;
conduct and publish research documenting improved results through use of the catalogue (saves time, finds more appropriate materials; titles found are accessible, etc.);

Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2005
as designers of the future library catalogue, work with our home institutions to build a public awareness of and appreciation for the service provided by the library catalogue and its creators.
In short term, we can expand the catalogue to be more inclusive and flexible. In the near future, however, we should expect a hybrid which will adopt some of the superior features of the catalogue, but which will employ an increasingly sophisticated technological infrastructure to increase the yield for information seekers. The future model will draw on the wisdom of the librarian, but will also use the savvy of the programmer to produce the most cost-effective and accurate results possible. In its ideal realization, the successor to the library catalogue will express its virtues, but will also supplement them with many new features made possible through technology.29 Library catalogues will continue to evolve and to grow alongside technology.

THE 2005 TOKYO INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR
Wen-ling Liu Indiana University
One of the largest publishing trade fairs in Asia and the largest in Japan, the 12th Tokyo International Book Fair (東京国際ブックフェア, http://www.bookfair.jp), was held at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center, commonly known as “Tokyo Big Sight” (東京ビッグサイト), July 7-10, 2005. I attended the 2005 fair in order to look at the variety, quantity and formats of the latest public and academic publications in Japan, which are often hard to assess from the catalogs, and to learn about the Japanese book market first hand.
Site of the Fair
The Tokyo Big Sight, opened in April 1996, is Japan’s largest exhibition and convention center. The distinctive building, located close to the Odaiba business and entertainment district of Tokyo, has a waterfront architectural design with opaque colors blending in with the light-blue background of Tokyo Bay and its skyline. It has a total floor area of 230,873 square meters, of which 80,660 are devoted to indoor exhibition. The center is made up of three main areas: the West Hall, the East Hall, and the Conference Tower, along with rooftop and outdoor exhibition spaces. The postmodern Conference Tower is built with four interlocking inverted pyramids. The main exhibition halls are located in the West Hall and the East Hall. Various restaurants, coffee shops, and snack facilities are conveniently located along the hallway to the Conference Tower.
Exhibits
The Tokyo International Book Fair (TIBF) is both a trade event and a book sales promotional fair for publishers, importers, wholesalers, bookstores, literary agents, publishing professionals, and the general public.1 In recent years, the annual fair has focused on copyright trade and service for general readers. According to the official statistics, this year’s TIBF was the biggest ever. In addition to regular visitors, a total of 48,412 publishing-and-trade-related people registered to visit displays of 638 exhibitors from 28 countries and regions. It was reported that the participation of overseas publishers this year doubled from the past exhibit, with strong growth from Europe, Southeast Asia, and China. I was one among 1,030 registered overseas visitors.
TIBF consisted of the following special fairs: Natural Sciences Book Fair, Humanities & Social Sciences Book Fair, Children's Book Fair, Editorial Production Fair, Digital Publishing Fair, and Educational Book & Software Fair. An additional attraction was that TIBF teamed up with two other trade-related events: the 16th International Stationery & Office Products Fair (国際文具紙製品展) and the 3rd International Office Machines & Equipment Expo (国際オフィス機器展). These two exhibits were held in the East Hall, while TIBF was held in the West Hall.
The first two days of the Fair were open only to the trade industries, such as publishing companies, bookstores, and education-related organizations. The exhibition was moderately crowded and relatively uneventful, and the display of books and materials looked small and neat. There were nicely arranged desks and chairs in each booth, and many participants were engaged in business interviews or private talks. The atmosphere was professional, and the site offered an effective and open venue for new and non-local publishers to be introduced to the Japanese book market. I chatted with Philippe Werck, a publisher from Belgium. He told me that this was the second time that his company participated in the Fair, and he

45 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 thought that any company with an interest in the Japan market has to exhibit at TIBF. I made similar observations. The publishers treated me courteously upon hearing that I came all the way from the U.S. to visit the fair. Later on I found that there is actually a law supporting cultural exchanges such as book fairs. It is named the “Law to Promote the Culture of the Written Word (文字・活字文化振興法),”2 and it was enacted in July 2005.
Public Fair
TIBF was open to the general public on the weekend. As if touched by a magic wand, the convention halls were dramatically transformed overnight. The number of books on display at least quadrupled. I was surprised to find crowds on the train serving the convention area, and crowds waiting in lines to purchase tickets inside the convention center. The general public paid an admission fee of $12 (Y1200) for the two- day fair. The special TIBF promotional editions of Bunkatsushin [Book Business] 文化通信 and Shūkan dokushojin [Weekly Reader] 週刊読書人 were distributed free of charge.
Parents brought their children on a weekend outing to the safe and pleasing convention site, and book and software lovers looked for new materials and trends in the publishing business. In Japan, where books are usually sold at a fixed price, the 20-30% discounts offered by publishers at the fair were greatly welcomed. The publications on display included CDs, DVDs, electronic resources, software, maps, and teaching materials as well as books. For an annual market of 77,000 titles and 4,500 magazines,3 the fair is an effective venue for the promotion of new titles and the introduction of new products.
Digital publishing in Japan has been expanding in recent years. There was strong promotion for CD-ROM products, and it seemed to me that people are now more interested in the e-books read on cellular phones (携帯電話) than in the displays of the various electronic book services, of which large companies and organizations are the target customers. Cellular phones now offer a greater variety of features, such as games, comic magazines, dictionaries, music, etc. Moreover, they have become easier to operate and feature ultra-high-density screens. Pre-school story books and comics are especially popular.
The fair also provided extensive programs of cultural forums and promotional activities for new publications and authors’ appearances. For example, talk shows were held at the booth of the Yomiuri Shinbun 読売新聞and Nippon Television Network (NTV), featuring Mariko Koike 小池真理子 and Asato Izumi 泉麻人on Saturday, and Yuzuki Muroi 室井佑月 and Sawako Agawa 阿川佐和子 on Sunday. Bungei Shunjū 文 芸春秋 set up large photo displays and TV interviews for winners of the Naoki-shō 直木賞 and Akutagawa- shō 芥川賞. The glittering neon signs of each booth created an atmosphere similar to that of a carnival. There were Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse roaming about to attract the attention of young readers, pretty women in short space suits advertised either for new manga titles or for digital products, and clerks dressed in hanten 半天, a kimono-style jacket, called on visitors to stop by their booths.
Germany, the guest of honor this year, was stationed close to the center of the fair, and featured an exhibit called “Year of Germany in Japan.” This was an occasion for the country to advertise the 2006 World Cup. The staff of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association distributed Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) booklets and posters related to soccer games, competition sites, and hotel accommodations.

The new law “文字・活字文化振興法” was enacted on July 22, 2005. One of its goals is the promotion of publishing activities related to written word.
3 According to Shuppan nyusu [2039 (May 2005): 8], in 2004, 77,031 new books were published, which reflects a slight increase of 1.9% over 2003; in 2004, there were 4,549 magazines on the market.

Led by China Universal Press & Publications Co. 环球新闻出版发展有限公司, seventeen Chinese publishers, including Beijing Municipal Bureau of Press and Publication, participated in TIBF. Most of the display books were dictionaries of various kinds, children’s books, music and art books, and maps. To my surprise, about half of their exhibits disappeared from the shelves on the first public-open day. This was probably due to Japan’s increasing interest in China, and perhaps also to the fact that they didn’t bring enough publication samples to the fair. South Korean publishers were led by the Korean Printers Association and the Korean Publishers Association. Proud of its tradition, the Korean Printers Association set up a movable metal printer on site and distributed free prints of classical texts on oriental paper. This ingenious marketing strategy attracted many visitors. In the bargain corner, Thomson Gale and the Japan Association of International Publications 日本洋書協会 jointly hosted a very large sale of discount and second-hand Western (mainly English) books. It attracted an enthusiastic crowd throughout the fair.
Outlook for publishing industry in Japan
When I talked to the publishing staff, most of them anticipated a transitional phase, and thought that the market of the publishing trade in Japan is on the decline. In fact, there was a continuous decline of book sales from 1997 to 2004. A 5.9% increase of book sales presumably occurred in 2004, but newly released statistics for 2005 show a 10.4% decrease of book sales and a 3.1% decrease of magazine sales.4 There are worries about the diminishing interest in books among the younger generation of readers in the age of computer games, electronics, and cellular phones. Because of the digital revolution, the number of existing publishing companies in 2004 was at a ten-year low.5 Since the formats of books are no longer limited to print and microform, and the storage and presentation of digital books are improving rapidly, the publishing trade will continue to face new challenges. To safeguard its future, the publishing industry may need to lobby for the support of the government under the provisions offered by the “Law to Promote the Culture of the Written Word.”
4 “2005-nen shuppankai, dokushokai 10-dai nyūsu,” p. 6. 5 According to Shuppan Nyusu [2039 (May 2005): 10], there were 4,260 publishing companies in Japan in 2004 compared with 4,309 in 1990.

DIALOG FORUM FOR CHINESE DIGITAL CONTENT AT OCLC
September 27-29, 2005
Zhijia Shen
As recommended by the steering committee on dialog for Chinese digital content, which consists of the president of OCLC and six head librarians of major East Asian libraries in Hong Kong and the United States, OCLC hosted a dialog forum for Chinese digital content in Dublin, Ohio, between September 27 and 29, 2005. With the intent of discussing issues of providing access to e-content in the Chinese language to users outside China and Taiwan, as well as the possibilities of establishing a Chinese Digital Resources Alliance among Chinese e-content providers, OCLC, and East Asian libraries outside China, the forum brought together twenty librarians from sixteen East Asian libraries in North America and Hong Kong and fifteen executive managers of eight major e-content providers from Mainland China and Taiwan. As chair of the Committee on Chinese Materials, I was also invited. The goals for the forum as stated in the welcome speech of Jay Jordan, president and CEO of OCLC, were to “help Chinese content providers understand the potential market for their content as well as the needs and challenges in regard to their products outside of China; to enable Chinese content providers to learn about the OCLC cooperative and the e-content platforms and services that OCLC has developed; enable Chinese content providers to present their plans to their primary potential users outside of China as well as to OCLC; to form a Chinese Digital Resources Alliance at the conclusion of the meeting.”
The forum opened with a welcome speech from Jay Jordon, president and CEO of OCLC. In his speech, Mr. Jordon gave the background of the forum; introduced the members of the steering committee; and described the mission and vision of OCLC and its initiatives in global information services, including such recent developments as group catalog services, open WorldCat program, and netLibrary ebooks. He also stated the goals of the forum.
James Cheng of Harvard Yenching Library presented the case statement and the profile of East Asian Libraries. According to his report, the rapid growth of Chinese e-resources has opened new opportunities for scholars as well as libraries in Chinese studies. For large Chinese collections, electronic resources significantly improve services, while for smaller Chinese collections, electronic resources have become essential to collection development and library services. Consortium efforts must be coordinated to address copyright, pricing, access, and archival issues to make such materials more accessible to users outside China. He also pointed out that in addition to commercial electronic databases, there exists a very important and fast growing collection of non-proprietary digital materials developed by government and other research institutions such as the Academia Sinica in Taiwan and the National Library of China. These materials should be made available to users worldwide.
Peter Zhou of the University of California-Berkeley spoke about the issues and challenges of East Asian libraries. He pointed out that the technical and legal infrastructure, limited library budgets, various pricing models, international standards and user expectations, and language and cultural barriers are the major issues facing e-content providers and libraries in North America. In exploring solutions to address these issues, Peter Zhou suggested three models for Chinese e-content providers in relation to the North American market: the Walmart model, the car dealer model, and the super market model. He reiterated that libraries in North America need databases that are rich in content; easy to use at affordable prices; with perpetual access, and sustainable services, reliable infrastructure, and friendly and service-oriented professionals to provide support.
Philis Spies of OCLC spoke about OCLC’s strategic directions. According to Spies, OCLC is building platforms to mobilize the collective resources of libraries by expanding WorldCat to represent library collections around the world; to improve discovery by integrating library resources with user environments; to improve delivery through global registries, directories, and authentication services; to provide data mining tools to libraries; and to be a premier e-content platform for access and archiving. Its new Open WorldCat initiative is a cooperative approach to making library collections and services visible on the open
48 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
Internet. The current partners in Open WorldCat include Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, and Alibris. OCLC will harvest non-proprietary research data from the Internet to include in their Open WorldCat. In the fall of 2005, OCLC plans to provide a platform via Open WorldCat for users to contribute contents using the Wiki model, add Google maps for users to be able to obtain directions and maps to the library, add meta data for article level content, build a global registry, and enhance other services.
Rich Rosy of OCLC netLibrary spoke about OCLC’s e-content platform, partnership, initiatives, and business models. He said that 99% of netLibrary acquisitions are electronic; through netLibrary, OCLC is now also an e-content provider. It is now providing access to Chinese e-journal articles through Dragonsource’s database. The key functionalities include stable and scalable features, continuous upgrading, a proprietary digital rights management system, supporting multi-access models, and site localization with multiple language interfaces.
The rest of the forum consisted of presentations by the eight participating Chinese content-providers regarding their organizations and products. Each provider was given one hour to make a presentation and answer questions. Mr. Zhang Zhenhai of Tsinghua Tongfang Knowledge Network Technology Co, Ltd.; Mr. Longji Dai representing CALIS; Mr. Jason Han representing SuperStar Information Technology Co., Ltd.; Mr. Wei Sun of National Library of China; Mr. Xiaodong Qiao of Wan Fang Data Co., Ltd.; Ms Scarlet He of Beijing Fonder Electronic Co., Ltd.; Mr. Chris Huang of Airiti Incooperation (Taipei); and Mr. Calvin Tang of Drangonsaurce.com, Inc. (Toronto) gave presentations on behalf of their institutions.
At the end of the forum, Dr. Y.C. Wan of Fung Ping Shan Library of the University of Hong Kong summarized the two-day dialog forum. Mr. Wan congratulated all present for a fruitful forum and pointed out that all the goals of the forum that Mr. Jordon had enumerated in his welcoming speech had been achieved except the last goal, which was to form a Chinese Digital Resources Alliance. Since the alliance had not yet been fully addressed, he suggested continued discussion. The issues and concerns related to such an alliance include the relationship between OCLC and the Chinese e-content providers as well as the East Asian libraries outside China. Some librarians believe that the alliance will be a “win-win-win” situation for all parties, i.e., Chinese e-providers will reach its overseas market, OCLC will open its e-services to Chinese language users outside China, and East Asian library users will enjoy rich, affordable, and well-serviced Chinese e-resources. Some librarians, however, also cautioned against any precipitous decisions, suggesting that more dialogue be conducted.
All attendees applauded OCLC for its initiative in seeking solutions to providing quality access and services to Chinese-content materials and agreed that this was an extremely productive forum, which for the first time had brought together the major Chinese e-providers and librarians to focus on this extremely important issue.

REPORT OF THE MEETING OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COORDINATING COUNCIL ON JAPANESE LIBRARY RESOURCES
University of Michigan Hatcher Graduate Library, Room 319 September 16-17, 2005
Unless otherwise noted copies of reports made at the September 2005 NCC Council Meeting may be found on the NCC Website at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~ncc/meetingsandreports.html
Present: Officers: Chair Toshie Marra, UCLA; Executive Committee Members Kenji Niki, University of Michigan; and Michael Smitka, Washington and Lee University; Executive Director Victoria Bestor, NCC/ Harvard University; Council Members: Sharon Domier, University of Massachusetts-Amherst; Laura Hein, Northwestern University; Eiichi Ito, Library of Congress (substitute for Hwa-Wei Lee); Mary Jackson, Association of Research Libraries; Susan Matisoff, University of California Berkeley; Eiko Sakaguchi, University of Maryland; Tomoko Steen, Library of Congress; Syun Tutiya, Chiba University; Keiko Yokota- Carter, University of Washington. Observers: Kristopher Kersey, Japan Foundation New York; Bernard Reilly, Center for Research Libraries, Mari Suzuki, University of Michigan Absent: Samuel Yamashita, Pomona College.
Welcoming Remarks – Meeting host Kenji Niki introduced his colleague Brenda Johnson, Associate University Librarian for Public Services, who welcomed the NCC on behalf of the University of Michigan. NCC Chair Toshie Marra then opened the meeting and welcomed the new members: Laura Hein of Northwestern University, the new Japan Foundation-American Advisory Committee (JF-AAC) representative; Susan Matisoff of UC Berkeley, the new humanities faculty member; Tomoko Steen of the Library of Congress Science and Technology Division, a new librarian member and the new Chair of the Digital Resources Committee; and Keiko Yokota-Carter, the new CEAL representative and the Chair of CEAL’s Committee on Japanese Materials. Toshie also welcomed Mr. Bernard Reilly from the Center for Research Libraries (CRL), a special guest, as the Global Resources Network will be transferred from the Association for Research Libraries to CRL by the end of this year.
Reports from Funding Agencies:
Japan Foundation – Kristopher Kersey, Japan Foundation New York Office, spoke about recent developments at the Japan Foundation. The Foundation’s New York Office has moved to the 17th floor in the same building where their office has been for the last several years. Mr. Shono was overseeing the move and was unable to attend the meeting.
Kris Kersey provided a report on the 2004 JF Library Support Program with comments added by JF-AAC Representative Laura Hein. He also announced that the Japanese Literature in Translation database has become available on the JF web site and noted that information about new translations is being solicited to update the database. Of particular interest to librarians are the future plans for the Japan Studies Information Specialists Training Program (JSIST Program). The original plan for the current round was to only include information specialists from outside the G-8 nations, however that decision has been revised and they now expect to include two to three librarians from those countries during the current three-year phase of the project.
The NCC asked the Japan Foundation provide an update on the status of the Japan Foundation’s libraries at the next meeting.
Because the meeting of the Japan-United States Friendship Commission (JUSFC) coincided with the NCC Meeting, no JUSFC representative was in attendance. Vickey Bestor reviewed the JUSFC reports which had been circulated to members. Vickey also mentioned that the Commission may consider accepting three- year applications from the NCC as of the next round in March 2006. Toshie added that this year’s funding
50 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 from JUSFC to NCC included an increase of $2,250 in the general budget but a reduction of ¥500,000 for the Multi-Volume Sets Project. Vickey reported that Margaret Mihori suggested that the reduction for MVS would most likely be a one time only occurrence.
Reports from NCC Representatives from Collaborating Organizations and Constituencies:
In Hwa-Wei Lee’s absence, Eiichi Ito fielded questions about the Library of Congress (LC) report. That report focused on nine areas including: 1) Digital conservation of very rare Japanese illustrated Nara Ehon now available online; 2) LC collaboration with Nichibunken to digitize 2,331 Japanese prints, mainly Ukiyo- e prints from the Edo-period; 3) The recent cataloging of the series of manuscripts by Dr. Shiho Sakanishi who was the first Japanese specialist at the Library (1930-1942). This collection is a significant primary resource for study of the development of the Japanese collection at the Library and of Japanese studies in North America during that period; 4) The 207 sheets of large-scale Inoh maps now accessible online; 5) Increased usage of Japanese rare books in the LC collection; 6) The National Diet Librarian Takao Kurosawa’s visit to LC; 7) LC’s 2003 exhibition of Ukiyo-e now online; 8) Statistics of the Japanese collection; and 9) Important acquisitions.
Association of Research Libraries representative Mary Jackson and Center for Research Libraries (CRL) President Bernard Reilly together discussed the transfer of the AAU/ARL Global Resources Network (GRN) from ARL to CRL. Mary Jackson provided additional background on expectations for ARL’s new Strategic Priorities. The transition of the GRN to CRL will take effect January 1, 2006. Mr. Reilly expressed his view that there is much natural synergy among the programs of the GRN and other GRN projects might learn a great deal if the Japan Project were to share the broader experience of NCC projects with them. Future plans for the GRN and the role of the Japan Project within it were discussed by the Council quite extensively. The membership requirement to play a part in the GRN would be one of the major concerns for NCC as no NCC projects so far required any membership charges from participating institutions. Discussions concluded with an agreement that future review would take place at later NCC meetings as the transition is effected over the next year.
Mr. Reilly also spoke about the need for creating guidelines for the cooperative digitization of new content. He will send links to new plans as they are being developed for circulation to the NCC. Further discussion was also had with regard to the differing missions of ARL and CRL. On behalf of his Japanese colleagues, Syun Tutiya encouraged the NCC to continue to examine the question of future involvement with the GRN under CRL.
Committee on Japanese Materials (CJM) Chair Keiko Yokota-Carter presented the CJM report and discussed other issues related to the Council on East Asian Libraries (CEAL). She reported that the new members of CJM are (in addition to herself): Tokiko Y. Bazzell, University of Hawaii; Antony Boussemart, Ecole Francaise d’Extreme Orient (France); Eiichi, Ito, Library of Congress; Tomoko Goto, University of British Columbia (Canada); Haruko Nakamura, Yale University; Ikuo Sasakawa, University of Tokyo (Japan); and Kenneth Kazuo Tanaka, University of Maryland, College Park. The members of the Subcommittee on Japanese Rare books are Toshie Marra, University of California, Los Angeles; Hideyuki Morimoto, Columbia University; and Tomoko Goto, University of British Columbia. The new CEAL homepage is at: http://wason.library.cornell.edu/CEAL/. She also mentioned plans for sessions at IFLA in Seoul in August 2006.
The NCC’s new Japan Foundation AAC representative Laura Hein spoke about the January meeting of the AAC with comments from Kristopher Kersey of JFNY. She noted that the overriding issue is that there is less money available for funding. Library support will continue and conferences are very important. She expressed the AAC’s enthusiasm for projects like the NCC’s E-Resources initiatives and LC’s Takemitsu project.
As the Japan Foundation anticipates continued tight budgets they are thinking that less of their money should be spent on maintenance costs for organizations. However she emphasized the value of comments given by the Japan Foundation Library Support Program Advisory Committee which the NCC coordinates.
51 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
She also talked about the changing role of the Japan Foundation in the post Hojinka era. She said that there has been some decline in the Foundation’s clout because of reduced funding but simultaneously very strong pressure from the Japanese government for the JF to perform more public relations functions. She noted that there is the expectation that more programs will move away from the G-8 nations. The US- based programs that help spread knowledge about Japan elsewhere, such as the NCC, are the most likely to attract continued support.
The Council discussed ways to document the impact of programs in the US more broadly and suggested that ways be explored to pull more data from the Japan Foundation survey currently being conducted by Pat Steinhoff.
No report was available from the Northeast Asia Council of the AAS. Representative Samuel Yamashita was unable to attend and NEAC Chair Sally Hastings had hoped to send a substitute but in the end no other member was able to attend.
Japan Liaison Syun Tutiya then discussed his report. First he provided further follow-up on changes in library activities resulting from the incorporation of national universities. His report detailed changes in personnel administration that will impact both initial employment and promotion policies among librarians. At the senior level in university libraries he noted that almost half of directors/associate librarians in major universities have been replaced. Among them is the Director of the Contents Division, which is in charge of NACSIS-CAT/ILL and other library cooperation efforts. He also provided an update on the three MEXT working groups on computer networks, university libraries, and scholarly communication. Their work will continue through this fiscal year and final reports from the working groups are expected in March 2006.
The Director General of the National Institute of Informatics (NII), changed from Dr. Suematsu to Dr. Sakauchi, and the Director for library cooperation and computer networks also changed from Professor Tokura to Professor Adachi, who has been at NII from the start of the institution and has contributed to almost all NACSIS/NII projects (with the exception of CAT which is Professor Miyazawa’s specific project). It is hoped that NII will play a key role in the coordination of library activities in the new era as well as maintaining NACSIS-CAT/ILL and other activities to support libraries and librarians.
News from National Diet Library (NDL) includes plans to implement the systems and operations for legal deposit of networked resources, which has encountered difficulties related to author’s rights over the reproduction of materials by libraries.
On broader copyright issues, the major point discussed in the regular meeting with libraries and copyright holders focused on permission for borrowing libraries to make reproductions of borrowed materials/books and the removal of the practice of masking the rest of the copyrighted material beyond the part permitted for reproduction.
Toshie added that back in April, Prof. Tutiya asked NCC to write a memo to describe the current Japanese information needs of overseas researchers, and she, in consultation with several Council and committee members, prepared a four-page document discussing such areas as commercial electronic resources, ILL/DD, preservation and digitization of rare and fragile materials, statistical data sets, and free internet resources. Prof. Tutiya will provide an update on the memo at a later NCC meeting.
NCC Committee and Task Force Reports:
A range of reports and updates were given on the E-Resources Training Initiatives by Victoria Bestor and Toshie Marra. Vickey provided a summary of the final report on the first year (T-3) and passed out a schedule on the plans for E-Resources Workshops during FY 2005-06. Toshie and Vickey discussed plans for development of the E-Resources Website being coordinated by Tokiko Bazzell. And together they reported on discussions to date on plans for Year 3 of the E-Resources Training Initiative for application to the Japan
52 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
Foundation. The Council discussed possible components for the Year 3 project, including electronic resource workshops for specialized subjects and the creation of online tutorials.
New Council Member and Chair of the Digital Resources Committee, Tomoko Steen, gave her report on the activities of the committee during the last 6 months beginning with the first meeting of the committee prior to the NCC’s Open Meeting and their presentation at that meeting. She also outlined committee goals which complement and inter-relate with other NCC efforts: educating Japanese studies librarians about contracting/licensing issues; working with librarians and library organizations in Japan to effect change; and approaching vendors as necessary to effect changes desired by our community. The DRC has prepared a set of "Basic Guidelines and Requirements for Vendors of Japanese Digital Resources In the North American Library and the Scholarly Community." Kuniko Yamada McVey of Harvard took this memo to the Asahi headquarters in June and served as DRC's point person with Asahi. The memo was also used by librarians at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Washington and UCLA, when the Asahi representatives visited their institutions. The memo has proved to be very useful thus far and our Japanese colleagues are also very interested in it. A Japanese version is now being translated and is expected to become a model for other Japanese vendors.
Committee co-chair Robert Britt has been updating the DRC website with the help of Brigid Laffey, the NCC’s webmaster. Currently the page includes a new DRC Committee member list with contact information, committee goals, committee history, and recent activities. Tomoko Goto has been very helpful suggesting items for a “List of Incompatibilities in Japanese Database Contracts” or “Possible Improvements in Japanese Database Contracts to Apply to North American Institutions” that DRC is preparing. The DRC will study a sample contract prepared by Yale. The DRC website currently has a link to Yale’s Liblicense site.
The need to create a small discussion group led by DRC was raised. Vickey explained the difficulty she encountered in trying to set up a list for this purpose with Harvard’s Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. NCC Webmaster Brigid Laffey has been investigating an alternative plan. Sharon Domier added that the ILL/DD Committee has begun using a Google Group for their needs to communicate among librarians from participating Institutions in the Global ILL Framework (GIF).
New Multi Volume Sets (MVS) Co-Chair Susan Matisoff reported on the MVS Committee meeting in February and on 2006 MVS grants based on reports provided by outgoing MVS Co-Chair Reiko Yoshimura. Several issues had been referred to the Council for discussion; principal among these was the question of the eligibility of second-hand publications for possible MVS funding. The committee expressed no intellectual objections to the policy, however it saw a number of possible obstacles (the need for vendors to hold books for a long time without guarantee of funding and the need to assure that materials are in a condition to circulate through ILL). The Council felt that second-hand titles should be considered only if there is a firm guarantee that vendors will hold them pending the MVS decision and that their quality warranted inclusion in the MVS collection. However, since the ad is already in the works for the AAS Newsletter, any chance to notify the field of the change must wait until the next grant year, 2006-07.
The committee also suggested that institutions applying for print-on-demand sets need to provide special justification for those requests as they must for recently published materials. Problems encountered by Duke University with a print-on-demand set were discussed and the Council emphasized that all extra expenses other than the materials associated with MVS grants must be borne by the institution receiving the grant even if unexpected expenses occur.
For the first time the question has been raised with regard to the ongoing requirement that all MVS titles must be lent free of charge through ILL. The MVS Committee suggested that further data is needed to determine whether or not free ILL has become a major factor inhibiting MVS applications. Mary Jackson pointed out that when MVS was set up in 1992 charging for ILL was the exception, while now free ILL is quite exceptional among research libraries. Mary encouraged the ILL/DD Committee chair to undertake research on current practices for ILL charges. Subsequent discussion and possible decision will take place
53 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 at the January 2006 meeting when representatives from the Japan US Friendship Commission, the funders of MVS, will be present.
Regarding the suggestion in the previous Council meeting to inform LC of the titles not funded by the MVS Project for their consideration to acquire, Eiichi Ito who is now serving on the MVS Committee mentioned that he would be happy to receive the list of titles but it would be difficult for LC to purchase materials that were published over five years ago.
Japan Project Advisory Committee (JPAC) Co-Chair Eiko Sakaguchi reported that there were no new developments in the JPAC except that some members of the Committee, namely Tokiko Bazzell and Eiko Sakaguchi, and Toshie Marra had an informal meeting during the AAS meeting with Professor Jun Aiba of Nichibunken and Mr. Yuki Ishimatsu of UC Berkeley to discuss digital projects in the US and Japan. Professor Aiba particularly expressed his interest in learning what digital materials US scholars need for their research in Japanese studies.
The committee will closely watch the transition of the AAU/ARL Global Resources Network from ARL to CRL.
Sharon Domier gave the AskEASL Advisory Committee report. The committee consists of herself and Setsuko Noguchi as coordinators, Sally Hastings and Rob Britt.
AskEASL was down for much of the summer, because a computer hacker penetrated the host computers and caused a lot of damage. Fortunately, AskEASL was spared any damage, other than lack of access. The Virtual Reference Desk computer support people brought AskEASL back up at the end of August. They have also scheduled AskEASL for a free upgrade to the newest version of the incubator software this fall.
While the committee members have debated how much time and energy to put into AskEASL, it was reassuring to know that a number of people continue to count on the service because it received a number of email inquiries from registered users when they were unable to access the site.
Now that the site is back up and functioning, the committee will begin to post Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). FAQs allow the committee to model questions and answer sets by taking real questions from people, removing any personal information, and then creating a polished answer. They can also use them to create question/answer pairs for questions that users should be asking. Sharon also noted that the former T-3 Trainees have been especially helpful in volunteering for AskEASL. As co-chair of the NCC’s ILL/DD Committee, Sharon Domier gave the first report for that committee. Members of the NCC’s ILL/DD Committee include: Carol Jones, Head, Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery, Yale University; Lynne Kutsukake, Japanese Studies Librarian, University of Toronto; Perrin Joel Lumbert, Interlibrary Loan Librarian, Bates College; Kathryn Ridenour (co-chair), Head, Interlibrary Loan & Document Delivery, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; Chiaki Sakai, Japanese Studies Librarian, University of Iowa; and Osamu Inoue (Japan ILL/DD Liaison), Head of Public Services, Tokyo Institute of Technology. Committee members were selected to represent institutions large and small, and include both Japanese studies specialists and interlibrary loan managers. The main charge to the committee is to facilitate use of GIF by creating user guides, doing promotion, and solving problems.
The committee has not had an opportunity to meet in person and the question was raised as to whether a meeting of the committee might be planned to take place in the Boston area. Sharon expressed the view that ideally the committee should meet once a year. The issue of communication is particularly important, because using GIF has been impossible for the entire summer since OCLC changed it software platform. NII continues to monitor the problem and to report on progress through its listserv.
Once the problems encountered with the conversion of the OCLC platform have been solved, the major goal of the committee is to improve service on both sides. Training and user-support are major strategies that will be employed. Lynne Kutsukake has drafted a guide for faculty and students at her campus on how
54 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 to use GIF successfully. This will serve as a template for other libraries to enable them to provide similarly localized information. In the coming year this guide will be posted on the NCC website. Another initiative comes from Hitoshi Kamada at the University of Arizona. He and his programmers have come up with a small program that will take the long list of holding libraries from a NACSIS Webcat record and match it against the list of GIF participants to speed up the selection process. This program has great potential to eliminate some of the mistakes and speed up the process of verifying holdings. The committee also needs to draft a short and clear document on how to read holdings statements to post that on the NCC website as well.
The following action items are planned by the ILL/DD Committee before the next NCC Meeting: Get a listserv up and running to keep North American GIF members updated on OCLC/NII interchange status (are GIF requests being sent/received); post the template guide for local use aimed at faculty and students; post public relations/advertising document that librarians can use to introduce GIF to their institutions; and post the University of Arizona software that simplifies holdings information verification. Vickey also suggested that it would be good to develop a simple GIF brochure before the next AAS Meetings in April 2006.
A report on the Japan Art Catalog (JAC) Project was given jointly by Toshie Marra and Victoria Bestor. They reported on administrative changes in Japan, on activities at the JAC Asian Collection at the Freer Gallery of Art, and provided an update on the University of Pittsburgh’s decision to give up the Western Art Depository, which must now find a new home. Columbia University’s Avery Art Library may take the collection with assistance in cataloging given by the C.V. Starr East Asian Library. Sharon Domier also expressed the possible interest of Amherst College in taking the collection if Columbia does not.
With the plan for the JAC Project collection in Tokyo to be included in the new National Art Center being built in Roppongi, the Council discussed the resumption of the JAC II project which has been inactive since 1997. With the new facilities there will now be space for US catalogs and staff to provide cataloging and reference services with extended hours for users. Having heard of the Japan side’s interest in resuming JAC II, Vickey has found a graduate student in museum studies who can work on rebuilding the contact lists at the US institutions that hold exhibitions of Japanese art. She estimated that the annual shipping costs for JAC II books (one shipment per year, sent sea mail) would likely be in the range of $200 which can be covered by NCC funds. With the Council’s encouragement she will have the graduate student begin contacting museums with the goal of having the first resumed JAC II shipment to Japan in time for the opening of the National Art Center in 2007.
The report from the NCC Executive Committee (EC) was given by Michael Smitka who noted that the major activities of the new committee have been coordinating the search for appropriate candidates for NCC Chair-elect and proposing revisions to the NCC By-Laws.
For the nomination of the chair-elect the Executive Committee chose to set up a special committee because Chair Toshie Marra preferred not to serve as chair and rather asked to be an observer to the process. She suggested past Chair, Sachie Noguchi, in her stead and the EC unanimously agreed to that suggestion. Sachie proposed that in addition her predecessor as Chair, Kristina Troost be asked to join the committee. Together they worked over the summer to post notices and seek suggestions from throughout the field.
A question raised at the EC was whether or not institutional overlap should be permissible in the case of the chair-elect when other elected Council members serve from the same institution. The Council agreed to approve such overlap considering the limited pool of candidates for chair-elect.
A nomination of a highly qualified candidate from Japan had been made and the Council discussed whether or not it is essential that the NCC’s chair be from the US. The Council agreed that given the need for the chair to be completely current on the US Japanese studies scene and to relate with US based funders, the NCC chair should be from an institution in the US.
55 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
An extensive discussion followed on the key qualities needed in a new chair. The relative strengths of candidates were discussed, giving Council members time to reflect on the qualifications of the candidates before the final vote, which took place later.
It was also announced that the EC had recommended Eiichi Ito of the Library of Congress as the new librarian member of MVS. Since Eiichi was present, serving as a substitute for LC representative Hwa-Wei Lee, he was formally thanked by the Council for accepting the assignment.
NCC Administrative Reports:
Executive Director Victoria Bestor presented a number of reports including a review of activities during the previous fiscal year, a summary of FY 2004-05 project expenses, and a report on the NCC-related visits she made during her three-week trip to Japan during July 2005. She reported on her extensive discussions with people at the Japan Foundation and elsewhere about the future of the Japan Studies Information Specialist Training Program. Chair Toshie Marra reported on the completion of the JSIST Program and discussed future librarian training needs. She also expressed thanks to the Japan Foundation which has just announced that they have reversed their original plan to limit participation to librarians from outside G-8 nations and now two to three candidates will be admitted from G-8 countries. The NCC will again coordinate the application process for US candidates.
Vickey also mentioned the Japan Foundation’s interest in the NCC trying to mentor librarian groups in other countries to create NCC-like organizations. JF specifically mentioned Korea and also possibly Latin American countries as places that would benefit from having NCC-like organizations.
Vickey also provided an update on NCC publications and public information efforts, including a review of new components of the NCC website, a proposal for changes to the NCC Newsletter, and a discussion of the first full draft of the NCC Council Handbook. Because the NCC website is now its major public information vehicle, augmented by the growing range of brochures, the Council agreed that the newsletter should be converted to an annual publication largely distributed electronically, with a limited number of copies produced in print format. It was also suggested that briefer summaries of meeting reports should more regularly be published in the AAS Newsletter along with JEAL where they regularly are published.
The reports of the NCC’s 2005 Open Meeting and the Publishers and Vendors Roundtable were discussed and the timing and venue for the 2006 meeting was debated. It was agreed that the 2006 NCC Open Meeting should take place on Friday evening April 7th from 7 pm in the AAS Conference hotel. The Council also discussed whether or not NCC would like to have a booth at the Exhibition during the next AAS with sponsorship from Japanese publishers and vendors to offer a training opportunity for Japanese electronic resources. It was agreed that NCC would not accept the offer to join with publishers in a booth at least for the 2006 AAS Meetings.
New Business:
The Council completed their discussion of nominations and elected Tokiko Yamamoto Bazzell, University of Hawaii, as NCC Chair-Elect. Her term as Chair-Elect is calendar year 2006 followed by three calendar years as NCC Chair. The Council formally thanked the Executive Committee for their role as nominators and especially thanked Sachie Noguchi who served as Chair and Kristina Troost who served as the other outside member.
On behalf of colleagues in Japan Syun Tutiya again raised their concerns about the problems encountered by the Global ILL Framework during the summer after OCLC’s platform change disrupted the flow of requests among GIF members. He also noted that Japanese colleagues at NII had been extremely proactive in devising solutions to the problems but that OCLC had been very slow to respond in any way. He noted that it was in early July that OCLC informed NII that service would be temporarily interrupted for maintenance. On August 2nd they announced that the system was reopening, but the new format did not work for GIF participants and other international projects as well. NII immediately began working on
56 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 solutions to the problem and offered to assist OCLC, which continued to be un-responsive. Finally on September 16th, after weeks of frustration, a letter was sent from NII to OCLC via Mr. Kino asking for details on how and when the system would be resumed and asking OCLC for an apology for the delay and for their lack of response to NII’s offers of assistance.
Following an extensive discussion of these problems, the Council also noted the connection between GIF and the Japan Project of the AAU/ARL Global Resources Network. As was noted earlier, the Council and especially the Japan Project Advisory Committee will monitor the transfer of GRN from ARL to CRL over the next year and make a recommendation about the future need for the Japan Project in its current configuration.
Planning for the January 2006 Meeting at Library of Congress (January 13th and 14th, 2006) was discussed and it was agreed that the subsequent meeting, in September 2006 will be held at the University of Maryland. Susan Matisoff also expressed the desire to hold the January 2008 meeting at Berkeley to coincide with the opening of Berkeley’s new East Asian Library.
Unless otherwise noted copies of reports made at the September 2005 NCC Council Meeting may be found on the NCC Website at http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~ncc/meetingsandreports.html
57 Summary of New Features CEAL Statistics Database 2005
1) Statistics ranking function was added. - Only members who have a valid account can access ranking function. - Ranking function is available for the following tables: Electronic Resources, Fiscal Support, Total Volume Holding, Serial Subscriptions & Non-purchased Serials. The default view includes all library types and regions. - The ranking filters are “type of library” (Canadian University, Private U.S. University, Public U.S. University, U.S. Non-University, and Canadian Non-University) and “region” (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain, Pacific, and Canada).
2) Graph view was added to traditional table view. - The data shown in the graph version is the same as the table version. - The Y-axis is re-scalable for a better view of “Total Holdings and Unprocessed Backlog. Materials,” “Fiscal Support,” and “Total Volume Holdings” tables.
3) Print friendly function was added. - Available in every table view as well as in View Ranking tables. - Microsoft Excel is required to view the print friendly version. - Ctrl+p to print in Print Friendly Version.
4) One sample account was created for potential members to allow them to view online survey forms content. - Library Name: ztest - Password: viewform - This ID and password allows users to “view” and “print” online forms only.
5) New fields have been added in the Electronic Resource table. - A total of 11 new data fields were added: CD Title data fields for C, J, K, non-CJK, with grand and subtotal fields; CD Count data fields for C, J, K, and non-CJK, with grand and subtotal fields; and a Memo field.
6) The system now retrieves old data from previous years in the Total Volume Holding Form. - Previous year’s data in the current year forms is retrieved automatically. - If there is no data for the immediate past year (ex. the member didn't input last year, or a new member has just joined for the current year) the previous year data can be input manually.

COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES
COMMITTEE ON TECHNICAL PROCESSING
Minutes Annual Meeting Council of East Asian Libraries Committee on Technical Processing Wednesday, March 30, 2005 Columbus Hall KL, Hyatt Regency Chicago Chicago, Illinois
The 2005 annual meeting of the Council of East Asian Libraries (CEAL) Committee on Technical Processing (CTP) was called to order at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 in Columbus Hall KL, Hyatt Regency Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. Mr. Hideyuki Morimoto (Columbia University), the Chair of the CTP, welcomed participants to the meeting and introduced the current CTP members. Mr. Morimoto announced the outline of the session program. In addition to committee reports and general remarks by the Chair, the program consisted of four presentations: (1) Virtual International Authority File (VIAF); (2) Hong Kong Chinese Authority Name; (3) Cataloging Questions Received and Answered; and (4) LC Cataloging Updates 2005.
The first presentation, “Virtual International Authority File (VIAF)” by Dr. Edward T. O’Neill, Consulting Research Scientist, OCLC, was a progress report on a project to test the VIAF concept jointly undertaken by die Deutsche Bibliothek (DDB), the Library of Congress, and OCLC.
The project demonstrates the feasibility of VIAF by linking personal name authority records between DDB’s Personennormdatei (PND) and the Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF). VIAF is characterized as metadata linking users from records in one agency’s personal name authority file to corresponding records in other authority files. It is designed to permit the linking of any number of authority files. In order to harvest metadata from the agencies’ authority files, Open Archive Initiative (OAI) protocols will be used. Through a specially-designed user interface, web access will be provided. VIAF will support multi- lingual and multi-script capability.
The Project consists of five phases: 1. To create enhanced authority records for both PND and LC personal names 2. To match PND and LC enhanced authority records to create the initial version of VIAF 3. To build the OAI Server 4. To harvest metadata using OAI protocols 5. To develop an end user interface with Unicode displays
As authority records generally include few, if any, details about the person and/or his/her publishing history, additional information is necessary to determine if different authority records represent the same person. In order to match authority records unambiguously, information from bibliographic records is used to enhance the authority records in Phase I: Creating the Enhanced Authority Records. There are four situations and some problems identified in Phase I in the LCNAF and PND authority files:
1. A person may have the same established form in both authority files. 2. Different people may be assigned the same established form: Adams, Mike. 3. Different forms of the name may be established for the same person: Morel, Pierre (LCNAF) = Morellus, Petrus (PND). 4. A particular person may not be established in both files.
LC authority records are brief:

From the bibliographic records, we gain significant additional information about Jack Larson: (1) he is a lyricist; (2) his primary subject area is music; (3) he was published in the 80s and 90s by G. Schirmer and Belwin Mills in New York; (4) he worked with Virgil Thomson and Gerhard Samuel; (5) Jack Larson is the only name he has used on his publications, etc.
Dr. O’Neil illustrated how information from mining bibliographic records is used to create derived authority records using ocm10025532, a record for Virgil Thomson’s musical score, The cat. The record is also found in the Library of Congress online catalog (LC Control Number 84758340):

Extracted information from ocm10025532/LCN 84758340 is added to LCNA 84044261 to create a derived authority record containing variable fields 9XX with all text being normalized, i.e., in lower case only, as follows: LCN in 903; title in 910; publisher in 921; place of publication in 922, added personal entry extracted from 700 1 in 930; language in 940; broad subject area in 942; publication date decade in 943; materials type in 944. Information extracted from 100 1 in the mined bibliographic record is given in 950 1. The enhanced record for “Larson, Jack” given below will incorporate the frequency count for 9XX fields identified by subfield ‘9’.

The details of usable authorities at the end of Phase I are given below:
LC DDB Number of established names: 3,834,162 2,498,071
Number of names used in 2,159,315 2,255,187 bibliographic records (Enhanced authority records)
Phase 2 of the project focused on matching the enhanced LCNAF and PND authorities using matching algorithms. To be considered for a match by algorithms, two names must be consistent. For example, names “Smith, J. William” and “Smith, John” are consistent, while “Smith, J. William” and “Smith, John Q.” are inconsistent. For similarity measures, records from both files with consistent names are compared and a numeric similarity measure is computed for each pair of records. The pair of records with the highest similarity is considered to be the best match. If the similarity is greater than some critical level, the pair of authority records is considered to be a match. As of March 29, 2005, the Project focused on the similarity measures. Dr. O’Neil shared the first VIAF record with the participants:

88 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
In this record, subfields ‘2’ and ‘0’ in 7XX are defined for source and control numbers for authority files. Source codes ‘loc’ and ‘pnd’ represent LCNAF and PND respectively.
The Project intends to build OAI Server (Phase 3), maintain ongoing metadata harvesting using OAI protocols (Phase 4), and finally to build an end user interface with Unicode display, building on the local system’s authority structure. If the proof-of-concept is successful, VIAF may be expanded to other authority records for personal names and include other types of authority records for corporate and geographic names.
At the end of the presentation Dr. O’Neill extended invitation to the participants to visit the following site for a progress report of the project: http://www.oclc.org/research/projects/viaf
The second presentation, “Hong Kong Chinese Authority Name” by Ms. Maria Lai-che Lau (Chinese University of Hong Kong), Mr. Patrick Lo, and Mr. Owen M.L. Tam (both at Lingnan University) informed the participants of the latest development in the HKCAN Project.
Initiated in 1999 by six academic libraries, members of the HKCAN Project built a Chinese name authority file with CJK scripts that meets the needs of the bilingual community while improving and streamlining authority control operations. HKCAN members are: Chinese University of Hong Kong Library, Hong Kong Baptist University Library, Hong Kong Institute of Education Library, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Library, Lingnan University Library (Hong Kong), University of Hong Kong Libraries, and City University of Hong Kong Library. The project is hosted by Chinese University of Hong Kong Library.
As of January 2005, HKCAN records include over 51,000 records from the Library of Congress and over 76,000 records created originally by HKCAN members. The breakdown of 127,000 HKCAN records follows: personal names: 88,000 (69%) corporate names: 15,000 (12%) conference names: 1,100 (1%) uniform titles: 23,000 (18%)
Between August 2004 and January 2005, HKCAN members contributed over 7,900 records.
The new XML version 2003 was developed in order to facilitate searching in simplified or traditional Chinese characters or in pinyin form. This version supports Unicode; supports export in text or MARC format; supports CJK indexing and phrase searching for simplified or traditional characters; supports Z39.50 protocol; and enables interactive transfer to the INNOPAC system. The next enhancement will include ability to export in XML format and will be OAI-PMH compliant. The presenters illustrated the search interface with examples of personal, corporate, and conference names as well as titles, introducing the system support for searching for authors using Chinese characters, the workflow for HKCAN data processing, and the special features of HKCAN XML software.
HKCAN XML software uses Unicode UTF-8 to store Chinese characters and EACC code to store MARC format records, following MARC XML structure. Chinese characters are exported for subsequent storage in EACC or Unicode UTF-8. Records can be exported in MARC format. Records can be uploaded to INNOPAC individually or in large batches. Records can be displayed in MARC or text format. User authentication can be controlled by user name and password or via IP address. Records can be updated under management mode before downloading. Statistical data collection is facilitated. Modeled after the concepts of the Virtual Authority File, HKCAN offers one-stop concurrent searching in multiple authority files. In the future HKCAN plans to enhance the effectiveness of Chinese authority work among Chinese libraries worldwide and to promote sharing of existing resources among Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China libraries.
The presentation was concluded with the invitation to visit the project site:

The third presentation dealt with Cataloging Questions received by the Committee. On behalf of the Committee, Chair Mr. Morimoto presented detailed answers to the seven questions directed to the Committee by CEAL members.
Question 1. What does SACO stand for?
Answer: SACO stands for the Subject Authority Cooperative Program. It was established to provide a means for libraries to submit proposals for subject headings and classification numbers to LC via the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC). For more information, please consult: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/saco.html
Question 2. In recent LC bibliographic records for Chinese-language resources, initial articles are retained in field 246 with parallel titles or cover titles. From those records, can it be assumed that initial articles should now be recorded in bibliographic field 246s?
Answer: Descriptive cataloging of East Asian material : CJK examples of AACR2 and Library of Congress rule interpretations ... the Library [of Congress] strongly discourages cataloging by example ...
LCRI, 21.30J ... the 246 field: ... c) do not record an initial article unless the intent is to file on it

Question 3. When updating NARs and SARs, pre-existing Wade-Giles data in field 670s should be retained. When we have to undifferentiate a pre-existing name headings with field 670 data in Wade-Giles, should newly-added paired 670 field 670 be in Wade-Giles or in pinyin? E.g., existing differentiated NAR:
008/32: a 100 1 a Li, Lizhong 400 1 w nne a Li, Li-chung 670 a Nan k ai hua ch¨u y¨un tung shih liao, 1909-1922, 1984: b t.p. (Li Li-chung) needing to be undifferentiated ( vs. )
Answer : No information in field 670s was converted from Wade-Giles to pinyin through the pinyin conversion process. When LC needs to change a differentiated name to an undifferentiated name, it simply copies the Wade-Giles title in the existing field 670 and pastes it inside the brackets in the new field 670 right above.
LC does not manually convert Wade-Giles data appearing in field 670s; and, consequently, the field 670 pairs stay in Wade-Giles. But, of course, current information will appear in pinyin in a pair of new field 670s, following the current standard.
008/32: b 670 a [Co-editor of Nan k`ai hua ch¨u y¨un tung shih liao, 1909-1922] 670 a Nan k`ai hua ch¨u y¨un tung shih liao, 1909-1922, 1984: b t.p. (Li Li-chung) 670 a [Co-author of Han shu ren wu gu shi] 670 a Han shu ren wu gu shi, 2004: b t.p. (Li Lizhong)
Question 4. In a statement of responsibility in field 245, does "et al." need to be enclosed in its own set of square brackets when the entire text string is already in square brackets? E.g., 245 ... / c [Raymond Wolfinger ... [et al.]]. OR 245 ... / c [Raymond Wolfinger ... et al.].
Answer: AACR2 treats the mark of omission (...) followed by a set of brackets enclosing "et al." in rule 1.1F5 as prescribed punctuation. This prescribed punctuation is applicable even when the statement of resopnsibility is enclosed in its own set of brackets (1.1F1). Therefore, 245 ... / ╪c [Raymond Wolfinger ... [et al.]].
91 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
"LC 'House Rules' For Cataloging Korean Publications" distributed for 1998 LC Asian Materials Cataloging Seminar were reported to be revised in this regard. Originally: RIGHT: [ch˘oja Pak Ch˘ong-h˘ui ; p’y˘onjip Ch˘on Tu-hwan ... et al.] WRONG: [ch˘oja Pak Ch˘ong-h˘ui] ; [p’y˘onjip Ch˘on Tu-hwan ... [et al.]]
It should instead read: 245 ... / c [ch˘oja Pak Ch˘ong-h˘ui ; p’y˘onjip Ch˘on Tu-hwan ... [et al.]].
Question 5. For calligraphy, LCC numbers NK3600-3640, instead of ND1454-1457, are now assigned. Do NK numbers encompass calligraphy as paintings? Where can one find further information on LCC schedules ND and NK in this regard?
Answer: The current LCC schedule is unequivocal. In the ND1454-1457 section, it is stated: Calligraphy as painting: The Library of Congress discontinued the classification of calligraphy in subclass ND in June 2003. For works on calligraphy see NK3600-3640
All numbers in this section are now placed in parentheses.
(ND1454) Periodicals. Societies. Congresses (ND1454.5.A-Z) Exhibitions. Collections. Museums. By country and collector or place of exhibition, A-Z (ND1455) General works (ND1456) General special (ND1457.A-Z) Special, A-Z

Question 6. The practice of using 2nd indicator value "4" in MARC 21 bibliographic fields 600/610/611/630/651 seems to be primarily an RLIN[21] convention that originated from LC's decision. However, some libraries decided, as local practice, not to use the 2nd indicator "4" in the CJK 6xx fields. Many records in WorldCat still have "0" in that position. Is there any national consensus on this issue?
Answer: SCM:SH H 182 instructs us that, for monographic titles cataloged in RLIN[21], as long as the established name (including jurisdictional geographic names, such as Beijing) is a systematic romanization from CJK originals used in MARC 21 bibliographic fields 600/610/611/630/651 subfields a, b, or e (with the exclusion of cataloger-supplied qualifiers), but not subfield z, CJK script counterpart may be entered as pairs, with "4" as the 2nd indicator.
E.g., 651 #0 a Buzen-shi (Japan) x Antiquities. 651 #4 a (Japan) x Antiquities. 650 #0 a Buddhist antiquities z Japan z Buzen-shi. NOT: 650 #4 a Buddhist antiquities z Japan z .

92 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
As of June 2000, newly-entered WorldCat records should also follow SCM:SH H 182 instructions, within the parameters (monographic titles; systematic romanization; 600/610/611/630/651 subfields a/ b/ e (with the exclusion of cataloger-supplied qualifiers)), as per OCLC memoranda 6/7/2000 and 6/15/2000, with the 2nd indicator in CJK 600/610/611/630/651 set to "4" rather than "0." If an OCLC member library's local system requires matching indicators in linked fields, such adjustments may be performed through local editing of WorldCat master records.
As of Feb. 28, 2005, OCLC had not changed its position in this regard, and it is also planned to be in effect in OCLC Connexion Client 1.30. OCLC has not performed or will not make any systematic changes to the 2nd indicator in 600/610/611/630/651 in existing WorldCat records.
CONSER records CEG, Appendix O, Specific Guidelines 8.a For headings in 600-630 and 651, LC applies SCM:SH H182:6 to monographs only. For serials, CONSER follows the practice of using the same indicator in the non-Roman (vernacular [sic]) field as in the romanized field. [emphases added]
Question 7. In authority record field 670s for Japanese personal names, notation "r" is often used. What does it mean? Is it different from the notation "[in rom.]"?
Answer: "Citation of Japanese personal names" in NACO supplement (Apr. 23, 1997), which does not appear in wide distribution but which was provided to participants in the Library of Congress Asian Materials Cataloging Seminar of March 1998 instructs catalogers:
We [=Japanese catalogers at LC] use "r" for "reading" (a phonetic spelling written using one of the Japanese syllabaries (katakana or hirakana), given adjacent to the kanji characters for personal name) on NARs for personal names, if the reading appears anywhere on the item being cataloged. We cite "r" when the work being cataloged or any other reference source in subsequent 670 fields provides a kana (katakana or hirakana) reading of a person being established. … If there is no reading but there is a romanized copyright statement in the colophon, use the abbreviation "copr." followed by the name, then the term "in rom." in brackets ...
DCM, Z1, Name and Series Authority Records, Variable Data Fields, 670, Transcription of names and titles Data must be given in romanized form. Normally it is understood that the cataloger has provided the romanization; therefore, when transcribing romanization found in the source, add after it the bracketed phrase [in rom.].
E.g.,
010 nr 96038738 100 1 Koyama, Noboru, d ... 670 Kokusai kekkon daiichig¯o, 1995: b t.p. (Koyama Noboru) colophon (r) jkt. ... . E.g., 010 n 84106305 100 1 Yamata, Kikou, d 1897-1975 670 Yajima, M. Ra japonezu, 1983: b t.p. (in subtitle: Kiku Yamata) p. 270, etc. (Kikou Yamata [in rom.]; 1897-1975; femme de lettres; Japanese- French)
The fourth presentation of the session by Mr. Kio Kanda, “LC Cataloging Update 2005,” covered latest developments for CJK-related cataloging at the Library of Congress.
93 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
(1) The latest version is being tested for Unicode implementation at LC. LC’s new OPAC with JACKPHY is expected within this year. The new OPAC offers JACKPHY searching and connection to Authority files [Contact: Barbara Tillet ([email protected]) and Ann Della Porta ([email protected])].
(2) Unicode in LC Classification Minaret is expected within a couple of months. The sacred book section of BQ schedule may be the first to have original scripts. This may be accomplished using several web sites for sacred books such as: www.cbeta.org (Chinese Buddhist Electronic Text Association) www.sutra.re.kr (Tripitaka Koreana) http://www.l.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~sat/ (Machine-readable text-database of the Taisho Tripitaka (the Taisho Shinsu Daizokyo) [Contact: Kio Kanda ([email protected])]
(3) Chinese Law Classification Project, Law Library of Congress. There are over 10,000 titles in 54,000 volumes with “050 LAW” that need to be reclassed to KNP, KNQ, and KNR. There are 2,000 titles with “050 LAW’ in RLIN database. Until the beginning of the 1990’s, there was no law classification schedule for China, Japan and Korea. There may be as many as 18,000 Chinese titles requiring reclassification. The project is carried out by the Law library with contractors and 2 full time and 2 part time Chinese native speakers. Chinese catalogers of the Korean/Chinese Team members, headed by Phil Melzer, provided a great deal of assistance. Bill McCloy (University of Washington Law Library) also assisted the coordinator with his expertise.
The project began in December 2004 and will continue in the Law Library until completed. Next target languages are Arabic and Japanese. [Contact: Marie Whited, Cataloging Law Liaison, Law Library of Congress ([email protected])]
(4) Korean Cataloging projects include the following:
-Revision of Korean language word division and Romanization guidelines (the first draft will be sent to CEAL later this spring); -Cataloging of a collection of Korean gray literature about the democratic movements in South Korea in the late 1980’s. The 234-piece collection is being described in 120 bibliographic records. Each bibliographic record will bear the name of the collection in a 710 field: Minjuhwa Undong Collection (Library of Congress); -Korean/Chinese Team members Sook Hee Weidman and Sarah Byun have begun to work with Library staff and CEAL members to draft guidelines for the cataloging of Korean rare materials.
(5) Japanese mathematics books (Wasansho) listed in Shojo Honda’s bibliography have been cataloged. Pre- Meiji works (5,200 titles) have been cataloged, leaving 400 titles listed in Honda’s bibliography on Japanese literature, performing arts, and reference books. The search term ‘cw: JARB’ in RLIN will retrieve Japanese rare books. Descriptive cataloging guidelines for pre-Meiji Japanese books has been in a holding pattern, partly because the LC’s Cataloging of rare books has been in a revising process. [Contact: Isamu Tsuchitani ([email protected])]
(6) The arrearage reduction of law materials in Japanese and Korean and the retroactive classification of Japanese law serials are being handled at Serials Record Division, with Gary Bush as Team leader.
(7) LCSH includes the following changes: from “Bonpo (Sect)” to “Bon (Tibetan religion)”, modifier “Bonpo” to “Bon”; from “Orientalists” to “Asianists” and “Middle East specialists”; from “Oriental languages”/”Oriental literature” to “Asian languages”/”Asian literature”. LC Authority records changed for individual art/religious objects: “Emaki” ‘painted scrolls’ in 130 fields. Data in bibliographic records have not been updated yet. (8) There are 32.5 CJK catalogers at LC, distributed in four divisions: Regional and Cooperative Cataloging Division (RCCD), Serials Division (SRD), Geography and Map (G&M), and Special Materials Cataloging Division

COMMITTEE ON CHINESE MATERIALS
Minutes Annual Meeting March 31, 2005, 10:40 am – 12:30 pm Hyatt Regency Chicago
Karen Wei, Chair of the Committee on Chinese Materials (CCM), opened the meeting and welcomed all meeting participants, guests and speakers. She briefed the audience on the agenda, introduced the committee members and explained the rules for the meeting to ensure smooth progress and also to avoid unnecessary distractions. Karen also gave brief biographical introductions of all the speakers preceding each presentation.
The seven presenters were invited to give their presentations according to the order of the agenda.
I. Reinventing Libraries in Taiwan Sung Chien-cheng (宋建成), Deputy Director, National Central Library, Taiwan
Taiwan libraries have transformed substantially in recent years, and are now poised with a strengthened infrastructure to deal with the information challenges of the future. This progressive change and successful renewal in both operations and services have only been made possible by a combination of the following actions and influences: (a) laws and regulations that were passed by the government, (b) government investment, (c) library digitization, (d) library assistance received by the library, (e) national reading promotion, and (f) international cooperation and exchange activities.
This presentation described in-depth these concurrent external actions and influences, and also those internal forward-moving developments in the libraries.
(a) Laws and regulations The Library Law, promulgated in 2001, called for progressive changes for libraries, and the provision of complete library services. In 2002, the Ministry of Education published operational and technical standards covering all types of libraries, including university, college, public, and schools, setting down minimum standards for library establishment, personnel, collection, facilities, public services, technical, bibliographic and digital services. NCL was designated as the depository library for all domestic publications.
(b) Government investment The Government budgeted NT$1.55 billion for a Public Library Improvement Plan towards improving facilities and operation, automation and network, network content and public databases, an online procurement system and collection enhancement. In 2000, the Ministry of Education also commissioned the NCL to draft a “Three-year Library Development Plan” to strengthen interlibrary cooperation and to provide information to the public nationwide. The NCL utilized NT$300 million to pursue the objectives of this plan from 2002-2004. NT$57.8 million was also used to help reconstruct eight public township libraries that were affected by a major earthquake in 1999. Another significant investment was made toward building and renovating library facilities. Some completed projects include the National Cheng Kung University and the National Kaohsiung University. The Taiwan branch of the NCL also reopened in a new NT$2.9 billion facility in 2004. Other building projects are still under construction.
(c) Library digitization This initiative aimed to establish several components: first, an index and full-text database to provide for document delivery services. Some examples of the content of this component are the National catalogue, government publications, theses, full text rare books, Taiwan documents, Chinese periodicals and newspapers, and other publications and database systems. Secondly, it includes online
96 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
resources on Taiwan, such as Taiwan Memory, Information and Window on Taiwan. There is also the Chinese Knowledge Portal which made possible integrated browsing and searching of Chinese resources globally. Thirty-two databases are also freely available to the public at Taiwan libraries across the country.
(d) Library assistance visits Official scholar and expert teams visited libraries across Taiwan to provide guidance and assistance and to understand better the operational status and challenges of public libraries. So far, about a third of the libraries have received such assistance. Public libraries are also assessed on the basis of operational plans, facilities, personnel, collections, technical services, user services and interlibrary cooperation. The Operational Excellence Award is given to outstanding performers. Regional seminars designed to meet county library needs and courses on library subjects are offered. These are well attended by personnel of city cultural bureaus and employees of libraries. A special program established special assistance teams, which work to connect resources from libraries and Library and Information Science departments and also frequently provide professional input and guidance to libraries to help them resolve problems and upgrade service quality.
(e) Reading promotion The Ministry of Education budgeted NT$440 million to implement a National Children’s Reading Program for 2001-03. This was followed by a five year program launched in 2004 that aims to cultivate reading interest among children. This was done through donating good books to schools, recruiting people to promote reading, and training trainer instructors. Each year, 100 schools received these benefits. The plan also had the objectives of raising awareness of the local communities and increasing reading activities at the public libraries. These included cultural events and activities such as painting contests, lectures, songs, readings, and tours to local historical sites that were arranged in cooperation with cultural and historical organizations. Public libraries were also encouraged to participate in national book exchanges to foster interest in reading. In 2004, 261 libraries were part of a donation drive to collect books and distribute them to remote parts of central Taiwan. Another four- year Children’s Reading Program launched in 2004 has also helped to promote reading activities in primary schools, thus enhancing educational vitality in the city.
(f) International cooperation and exchange o Cooperation with the Library of Congress An agreement was signed between NCL and LC to jointly convert Chinese rare materials to digital format. o Cooperation with the Genealogical Society of Utah NCL also signed an agreement to make it possible for the Genealogical Society of Utah to obtain fiche copies of genealogical materials collected by the Taiwan society between 1970 and 1980. o Cooperative exchanges with universities in mainland China In 1996, NCL started a series of cooperative seminars held jointly with mainland China universities on rare books. o Participation in international library activities These include sending delegates to attend meetings of ALA, IFLA, AAS, arranging material exchanges with organizations globally, and receiving international visitors.
To conclude, libraries in Taiwan are currently undergoing many changes. With the help of the international library community, the libraries will definitely make significant progress as they move ahead into a new era.
II. Report on the Luce Summer Institute for East Asian Librarianship: China Focus Hong Xu, Executive Director, Luce Summer Institute; Head, East Asian Library, University of Pittsburgh
The Luce Summer Institute, a three-week Summer program to further the professional development of mid- career librarians with a China focus, was held from July 26 to August 13, 2004. The Institute was co- sponsored by the Luce Foundation and the University of Pittsburgh and was made possible through the
97 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 efforts of the former head of the East Asian Library at Pittsburgh University, Zhijia Shen. There was one week of web-based distance learning and two weeks of classes at the University of Pittsburgh. Twelve faculty members from diverse institutions in the U.S and China were invited to be the faculty instructors for the Program:
o Abraham Yu, President of CEAL and Head of East Asian Library, University of California at Irvine o Amy Knapp: Assistant University Librarian, University of Pittsburgh o Calvin Hsu, Coordinator at Public and Information Services, East Asian Library, University of Michigan o Diane Perushek, University Librarian, University of Hawaii o Ge Wu, Head, Rare Books Collection, Fudan University Library o Haihui Zhang, Bibliographer, East Asian Library, University of Pittsburgh o Hong Xu, Head, East Asian Library, University of Pittsburgh o Huanwen Cheng, Director, Zhongshan University Library o Hwa-wei Lee, Chief, Asian Division, Library of Congress o Peter Zhou, Assistant University Librarian and Director, East Asian library, University of California at Berkeley o Soren Edgren, Editorial Director, Chinese Rare Books Project, Research Libraries Group o Tai-Loi Ma, Director, Gest Oriental Library, Princeton University
Twenty-eight librarians from 26 universities attended the Summer Program. Three faculty members worked to create the syllabus. The curriculum was designed to enhance the skills of the trainee librarians and broaden the vision of their daily work in relating to the larger Library context.
Training and classes covered all major aspects of East Asian librarianship with a China focus. Instruction was given on research and publication, Chinese reference works and bibliography, Chinese rare books, history of Chinese books and printing, collection and development, digital technology and Chinese language resources, preservation and cataloguing, public service and library instruction, leadership, management and fund raising.
Most class sessions were 3 hours long. Each participant was asked to design a project that reflected his or her interest that was related to the Program. With this final project, every trainee librarian was able to gain hands on experience using the resources at the Pittsburgh Library.
Three keynote speakers gave speeches at the Opening and Closing ceremonies: Jose-Marie Griffiths (Doreen E. Boyce Chair & Professor of School of Information Studies at the University of Pittsburgh), Rush Miller (Hillman University Librarian, University of Pittsburgh), and Evelyn Rawski, (University Professor of Chinese History at the University of Pittsburgh). Evelyn Rawski spoke on the “Research trends of East Asian studies and their challenges to East Asian librarians” and Jose-Marie Griffiths talked about “Librarian training in the 21st Century.”
Outside of class the participants had time to network, relax and enjoy a cruise. From October 17-23, the participants took a trip to China to visit vendors of Chinese materials and toured libraries in Shanghai and Beijing. Many pictures were taken at various social events at Pittsburgh and visits to China.
The participants gave very positive comments about the Program. The conclusion was that everyone learned and benefited tremendously from this Summer Program. They particularly appreciated time outside of class to socialize and interact with other colleagues. Participants also wished to have more opportunities for training in the future either sponsored by the CEAL Committee on Chinese Materials or other organizations.

III. China-Related Digital Projects at Harvard: A Status Report James Cheng, Librarian, Harvard-Yenching Library.
This report was taken from a conference paper that James delivered at a Digital Conference in Taiwan in December 2004. James gave a 3-part report on the digital projects at Harvard according to their completion status:
A. Digital Projects That Have Been Completed
Seven years ago, the Harvard Corporation allocated US$15 million to the Harvard University Library to encourage the development of digital resources from extensive collections at the Harvard libraries. The goal was to build infrastructure among the 98 libraries by using common metadata, procedures and standards. Three infrastructural systems were established as a result of this Library Digital Initiative (LDI): the Visual Information Access Catalogue (VIA), the Online Archival Search Information System for contents of large archival resources (OASIS), and the Geospatial library. The Harvard-Yenching Library has 60,000 old photographs on China. Through LDI Phase I, the Yenching Library received two grants close to half million dollars, and has since completed five projects intended to catalog, preserve and digitize 2 collections of old and unique photographs that are now available free globally through Harvard’s HOLLIS Catalogue (http://lib.harvard.edu). The five digital projects are:
(1) The Hedda Morrison Photographs of China Hedda Morrison (1908-1991) was a German photographer living in Beijing in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s who took many photographs of ordinary people. Before she died, she gave her collections to the Harvard- Yenching Library. Close to 5,000 photographs were digitized for this project. They depict street scenes, architecture, clothing, social customs, folk crafts and other things that have already mostly disappeared from modern China. The Morrison collection is now accessible widely through the VIA catalogue. (http://hcl.harvard.edu/harvard-yenching/morrison/)
(2) The Pickens Collection on China’s Muslims (http://via.harvrd.edu) Claude L. Pickens (1901-1985) was an American missionary to China who worked to convert Muslims in Qinghai, Xinjiang and Tibet. Before he died, he bequeathed his collection of photographs to the Yenching Library. This project digitized about 1,000 rare photographs on Chinese Muslims in the Northwest. These are now accessible through the VIA catalogue and a recently prepared finding aid. The Pickens collection also includes books in Chinese, Arabic and western languages, journals, newspapers, broadsides, correspondence, notebooks and photographs that were catalogued using OASIS.
Projects in other libraries that also cover China:
(a) Asian Art Images (http://via.harvard.edu) was a collaborative project between the Harvard University Art Museum and the Fine Arts Library. 3,600 Asian art images were catalogued and digitized from direct digital photography of the original artwork from the Art Museum. Digital images were converted from transparencies, glass plates and film negatives of the Fines Arts Library. These images are also available globally through VIA.
(b) South Central China and Tibet: Hotspot of Diversity (http://arboretum. Harvard.edu/library/Tibet/expeditions.html). This is a digital project of Harvard’s historic and contemporary ethnographic and natural history collection. The materials for the project came from the Arnold Arboretum, the Harvard Map collection, the Botany Libraries, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, the Harvard-Yenching Institute and the Harvard University Herbaria. This collection is a record of the expedition of the Arnold Arboretum to Northwest China and Northeastern Tibet led by Joseph F. Rock, which began in 1924. Rock’s expeditions were funded by Harvard University and the Harvard Institute. The digital images include plant and bird specimens, photographs of landscapes, architecture and people. Contemporary biological specimens of the region are also being collected by the Harvard University Herbaria for comparative studies. All images are also available through VIA.
99 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
(c) The Nature of Eastern Asia: Botanical and Cultural Images from Arnold Arboretum Archives (http://via.harvard.edu). This digital project created finding aids to nine collections in the photographic archives of four renowned explorers to China: Frank Meyer, Wilson Purdom, Ernest Wilson and Joseph Rock. This project facilitates the use of historical records previously unknown and inaccessible to humanist scholars. The photographs depict the social and cultural history, art and architecture, and natural and population resources in Eastern Asia.
B. Other on-going digital projects covering China at Harvard.
(1) The Ming-Qing Women’s Writings Digitization Project funded by foundations in Hong Kong and Canada, and the Harvard-Yenching Institute. This is a cooperative project between Harvard-Yenching Library and McGill University Library. The plan is to digitize works of women writers of the Ming and Qing periods in the Rare books and Chinese collections of the Yenching Library. Harvard-Yenching Library will provide the materials while McGill will provide staff to develop full text searchable databases and manage the technical support. All the digitization has been done. So far, more than 4,000 authors and 26,000 pages of original texts have been done. A trial database has been developed. At the moment, only project staff at Harvard and McGill can access the database. A conference at Harvard is being planned for its opening next year. This is just the beginning of the project. Professor Grace Fong of McGill University is the coordinator. She would like to expand the project’s coverage to other collections in the U.S., Taiwan, China and Europe.
(2) The China Historical Geographic Information System (CHGIS) This project began in 2001. It is a collaborative project by scholars at Harvard, Fudan University’s Center for Historical Geography, and the Taiwan Academia Sinica, Institute of History and philology. Funding for this project came originally from the Henry Luce Foundation. It is now supported jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Harvard-Yenching Institute. A database of administrative units for different historical periods in China, with a GIS platform for spatial analysis, temporal statistical modelling and digital maps representation of selected historical units was developed with this project. Version 2 of this database has been released, and the entire content can be downloaded for use at the different institutions.
(3) Project to digitize fine art rubbings This two-year project has been made possible by a gift from a Harvard graduate residing in California. 2,000 Chinese rubbings from the Fine Arts Library are being catalogued, preserved and digitized. In addition, 1,000 more Chinese rubbings from the Yenching Library, donated by Dr. Yoshihiro Horikoshi in 1946 (a scholar who lived in Tianjin at the time) will also be digitized. A visiting scholar from Beijing, Professor Yau, is currently assisting the Yenching Library to process and catalogue the pieces of rubbings. When that is done, the rubbings will be digitized, and the two collections of 3,000 pieces will be put together.
C. Future Projects
(1) Harvard-Yenching Library has close to 5,000 titles of rare books which include editions in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing periods. In the last few years, much effort has been put into cataloguing these rare books. Annotations for 1,500 titles have been completed, and annotated catalogues of the Song, Yuan and Ming periods have been published. The Harvard-Yenching Rare Book cataloguer is in the process of writing annotations for another 3,000 titles of rare books published in the early Qing period before 1795. The plan is to digitize the entire collection of Chinese rare books (between 960 and 1795), and develop a full-text searchable database. In the meantime, there are two challenges for the Library: finding financial support and developing metadata in order to plan for the project.
(2) The Yenching Library, along with 5 other partners (including Yale, Princeton, Chicago, Michigan and Stanford), is applying for a grant from the US Department of Education to develop a CJK Portal for East Asian Studies. The Yenching Library also plans to build connections ultimately between the Library
100 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
resources and specific courses, classes and academic research portals to facilitate teaching and research.
(3) The Yenching Library has 3,500 glass slides donated by John Fairbank. This is another collection of resources that the Library has plans to digitize.
(4) China local gazetteers. There are 6,000 local gazetteers in the Harvard-Yenching Library that were published before 1949. The Library is still exploring ideas as to what can be done about the collection.

IV. Superstar: A Dedicated Academic Library Service Provider
Zhu Ping (朱平), co-founder and Vice Chairman, Superstar Digital Library (SDL), Beijing, China The presentation was delivered in Chinese and consists of 5 sections: facts, products, services, introduction of Duxiu, and copyright.
Superstar Digital Library was founded in 1993 with initial involvement in the document conversion business. Our expertise evolved and developed over the years with a series of events. We helped the National Library of China in their establishment of the first e-library and introduced the first independent reading platform SSReader. Superstar was nominated as the pilot digital library model of China in the project 863 and won the prize of “Website of Excellence” the following year.
Superstar Digital Library is the first web-based e-library in China with a collection of over a million Chinese books to date. We supply over 65% of Chinese university libraries and are regarded as setting the standard for our industry in China. To complement the need for diverse subjects and to meet various research objectives we concentrate our efforts on providing a variety of available publications. Our collection follows classifications for Chinese libraries covering the entire 22 main categories with strength in the areas of social sciences, history and archives, medical repository and special collection. Our collection has corresponding CN MARCs for easy data retrieval and filing. We are now in the process of converting CN
101 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006
MARCs into US MARCs for the purpose of meeting increasing demand from North America and have completed conversion of 80% of the records into US MARC.
Our experience with the Library of Congress has led us to develop the IE based reading media so that as long as the Internet is ready so is our database. To enhance reading quality we have started Project T20 this year aiming at processing 20,000 books in PDF format within 2 years.
We focus on serving the scholarly research and academic community. We understand that merely offering information to our readers is not enough; we need to ensure that our SSReader permits this information to be organized. Apart from its traditional reading applications SSReader can also be used for collecting, supplying, managing, manipulating, publishing and communicating. SSReader can perform virtually any function associated with reading a book such as annotation, bookmark, circle, highlights and cut and paste. SSReader supports full text search and OCR identification, making reading and data sorting an easy task. Our IP recognition offers readers and data administrators the flexibility to obtain access anywhere anytime. Our database is updated on a regular basis with an average of 3,000 books a month. We have a technical maintenance team standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our technical support is only a phone call away.
With every book we sell, we pay royalties. Superstar respects copyrights and intellectual property by way of signing rights agreement with individual authors. To date, we have collectively gained exclusive authorization from more than 200,000 authors nationwide. Superstar has also established a corporate relationship with China Central Rights Protection Committee and authorized the committee to pay authors on behalf of Superstar for their works. Superstar partially financed the founding of the “China Literature Works Management Assembly.” We continue to seek solutions to Chinese right protection. Superstar’s individual authorization strategy is unique and has proven to be successful in dealing with the Chinese copyright issue. Superstar signs a rights guarantee with every book sold. Superstar receives many inquiries from North America. We feel the need is there and the timing is right.
Superstar can be summarized as the largest collection on Chinese publications with 80% MARC and strong in Social Sciences, History and Chinese Medicine. SSReader (the reading media) demonstrates ease of use, comprehensive functionalities, and e-resource platform and offers individual title selection via a personal library and proposed North America Mirror Site. Duxiu is a new and powerful product that helps users reach research objectives. Superstar Digital Library has worked for years to reach equitable solutions to copyright issues that address both authors’ rights and Chinese Copyright law.

VI. Resources and Services from Wanfang Data Danny Dingfei Liu (劉定飛), Director, Overseas Development, Wanfang Data Corporation, Beijing, China
Wanfang Data makes a broad range of information content available to support serious teaching and research in Arts and Humanities, Law, Business, Social Sciences, Medicine and Science. These resources are indispensable for Asian studies, business opportunities, medical research, and general scientific research.
Wanfang Data provides unique content, including Law (法律法规; e-text & print), Companies & Products (中 国公司及产品; in both Chinese & English; e-text); Standards (国家标准; e-text & print); Patents (中国专利; e-text & print); Scientific Institutions (中国科研机构; in both Chinese & English; e-text); Who’s Who in China (中国名人录; e-text & print); Scientific Citation Indexing & Statistics (科技论文引文与统计; e-text); English-Chinese/Chinese English Science Dictionary (英汉汉英科技词典; exclusive; e-text & print), English Journals (英文期刊; e-text & print) and English Conference Proceedings (英文会议论文集; e-text & print). Wanfang Data, as an affiliate to the Ministry of Science and Technology, will be able to acquire and produce other important China information resources, such as databases of national resources (国家资源), statistical data (统计数据), geographical information (地理信息), and national archives (国家档案) in meeting the needs of our valued users.
Compared to other vendors from China, China Online Journals (COJ) (中国在线期刊) from Wanfang uniquely presents real online journals, making it possible for our users to be able to browse/read and subscribe to separate, individual journal titles. Unlike other vendors, each journal title in COJ contains full Table of Contents, paging information, and all illustrations, tables and graphics. With a focus on Core Journals and other important journals, COJ has been growing to include refined journal titles and a larger collection of University Journals. COJ contains, at present, a small portion of non-academic journals. However, we have plans to increase this portion up to a point to meet the needs of the Asian community and Asian library for non-academic journals. In the academic journals, great attention has been paid to include "lun wen ji" and "te kan" (No statistics are available on how comprehensive the coverage is.)
COJ offers a very competitive price and complimentary back issues (US$10/journal title if subscription is over 200 journal titles; limited special offer). Apart from subscription by journal titles, nine prepackaged sub-files (sub-databases), including those of English Online Journals (英文期刊) (98 journal titles), Arts/ Humanities (人文) (370 journal titles), Social Sciences (社科) (617 journal titles), Business/Economics (商业 经济) (452 journal titles), Law/Politics (法律政治) (347 journal titles), Medicine/Health (医药健康) (1004 journal titles), Science/ Technology (科技) (1573 journal titles), Agriculture (农业) (334 journal titles), and Fundamental Sciences (基础科学) (617 journal titles), are made available for subscription for libraries. In addition, libraries are offered the option of access to back files if cancellation is made later.
Wanfang prides itself on its most comprehensive Dissertations of China (DOC) (中国学位论文) (with 25% in Humanities/Social Sciences), which is about four times as large as its closest counterpart from other vendors. DOC covers dissertations and theses from key universities in China from 1986 onwards with a comprehensive range of contents. DOC is accessed online but an option is available for libraries to keep CD-ROMS or hard drives for local download. For the Abstract version of DOC, the price is US$6,000 (532,610 dissertation abstracts). For the full-text version of DOC, the price is US$40,000. Libraries are offered the option to subscribe to only Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences full-text version at US$12,000.
Wanfang’s Academic Conferences in China (ACIC) (中国学术会议论文集) has double the size of the second biggest product of the same nature (US$2,800, promotion special offer).
Similar to DOC, ACIC is accessed online and an option is available for libraries to keep CD-ROMS or hard drives for local download. As is the same for other databases, once libraries get the special offer for ACIC
104 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 at their initial subscription, the special price would remain later on even after new, substantial data updates, which will be the case as Wanfang is paying great attention to resource development. Wanfang makes multiple web sites, including a planned mirror site in North America, available for access from overseas. Wanfang Data provides flexible service modes, i.e. Internet Access, Local mirror site (local server) installation, and a combination of Internet Access and (local-copy) archiving. Archiving Wanfang contents is made convenient due to our full PDF and HTML format and upcoming implementation of Open URL.
As mentioned above, Wanfang provides CD-ROMS or hard drives for local download for libraries for archiving purpose. Open URL is being taken seriously at Wanfang Data. We are working on prestigious titles first before moving to all the 4,600 plus titles later this year. This will, we hope, make a librarian’s cataloging work much easier. Wanfang views this actually not as a value added service. Rather, it is regarded as a service that should be an integral part of online journals databases.
In order to offer better customer support while maintaining competitive prices, Wanfang Data deals with customers directly. We are also planning a local office in North America, which will play a critical role in providing customers full support. Wanfang Data is committed to sharing China information resources with our valued overseas users, taking copyright issues seriously and making licensing agreement internationally acceptable. Wanfang signs copyright transfer agreements with publishers. The standard licensing agreement is in English and is downloadable from web site www.wanfangdata.com.
VII. The Application of Chinese Databases in Taiwan: Newspapers, Periodicals, and Ancient Literature Debby Kuo (郭秀姿), Marketing Department, TudorTech System, Taiwan
TTC (TudorTech System) has been dedicated to research and development of systems and the establishment of databases for many years. I am honored to introduce the most commonly utilized database products by Taiwan academia today: a) Taiwan major newspaper indexes and clipped images of full text b) TOC of Chinese periodical literature c) Gujin Tushu Ji Cheng 古今圖書集成 d) Taiwan Databases
Newspapers: Taiwan Major Newspapers Index and Clipped Images of Full Text. Legally authorized by the newspaper publishers, TTC has succeeded in establishing integrated news databases that contain more than 13,000,000 clips for Taiwan highly circulated newspapers. The databases also provide users with the flexibility and convenience of searching political, economic, and related art information at one time. The authorized newspapers are United Daily News, Economic Daily, Min Sheng Daily, United Evening News, China Times, The Commercial Times, The Liberty Times, Central Daily news, Apple Daily, Star News, and World Daily. The databases apply the interfaces developed by our company, enforcing the functions of search efficiency, user-friendliness and accuracy. The operational stability is also greatly recommended by Taiwan local customers.
Periodicals: TOC of Chinese Periodical Literature. The academic periodicals are based on the ordering, exchanging, and gifts with the libraries of National Central University, National Yang Ming University, and National Chengchi University. Each periodical is completely filed, enabling users to search content information more easily and effectively. The databases now contain more than 1,200,000 pieces of content with an average of 3,000 to 5,000 content updates each week.
Ancient Literature: Gujin Tushu Ji Cheng (古今图书集成). Known as the greatest collection of Chinese ancient literature in China, Gujin Tushu Ji Cheng contains history from ancient times to Ming and Qing dynasties. The information covers various areas from astronomy, politics, geography, economy, military affairs, law, philosophy, ethics, education, and science. Authorized by Ting Wen Bookstore, TTC has
105 Journal of East Asian Libraries, No. 138, February 2006 completed a digital encyclopedia that covers 800 volumes, 10,000 archives, over 500,000 pages and 170,000,000 words and can be accessed online with images of full text.
Taiwan Databases: The Taiwan Literature Series, Taiwan JIHO,台灣日日新版(forthcoming). The three databases are based on literature that is most used and quoted by Taiwan researchers. The databases of Taiwan Literature Series and 台灣時報 are abstract and full-image correspondent, or full-text and full- image correspondent.
The four databases described above are all Web-interfaced. Users can access the databases through the Internet. Institutional members can establish their IP addresses and provide unlimited inquiries. The core search engine is applied with TTS systems designed by our company that have been re-tested, re-developed, and re-approved in the market. Customers can reach us for any problems via e-mail, phone call, or direct contact with our sales representative in the Western American district. Since all information is web-based, we will respond to any inquiries as soon as possible. As to the added value service, our company has offered the use of Romanization in searching, since foreign researchers have a tendency to use this. Hence, we believe that researchers will find no difficulty typing and searching information. In the future, we will continue to improve our systems with the aim of providing the best and most professional service to the academic world both at home and abroad.
Q & A (incomplete):
Q: Yuan Zhou (U of Chicago) My question is for Beida Fangzheng (Founders Electronics Corp.): what is going on with your projects such as Siku (xuxiu, weishou) series and Shanben Xiju Congkan? Are they still in PDF files only? or are they full text searchable such as Hong Kong Digital Heritage’s full text searchable Siku Quanshu database?
A: Scarlet He (Founder Electronics Corp.) At the current stage due to the huge base data, these databases are not full text searchable. In the future, this full text will be available, but this is a long ways away. DRM (Digital Resource Management) Technology will be used for Ancient image based databases. In our current plan, Siku series are image only databases.
Suggestion: Hong Cheng (UCLA) 1,500 Chinese master theses and PhD dissertations are created annually in China; I hope Wanfang Data’s DOC database will be updated accordingly.
Comments/suggestions: James Cheng (Harvard): It is good for the CCM to invite the vendors to attend the session; the question is how to balance our budgets, not all focusing on ancient/classical materials. I have one suggestion for digitizing the materials during the Republican period: E-books from 1912-1949 and E-journals from 1912-1949. To our vendors, I hope you will include the materials of the Republican period. We are ready to work with you.
