Library Facilities - East Asian Collection
Since 1960 the Main Library has routinely acquired most American titles in Asian studies and selected overseas scholarly publications in English and other Western languages. The library's Asian collection includes approximately 80,000 volumes in Asian languages and about 140,000 Western-language volumes on Asian subjects. Since 1975, the University has been a member of the Library of Congresss Foreign Currency Exchange Program for Indian books and periodicals. The library's nonprint media collection includes a growing number of Asian feature films. A Chinese-Japanese-Korean computer terminal gives students and faculty access to the growing Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) database in Asian languages.
