The East Asian collection is comprised of over 5,000 titles, and over 15,000 volumes, and is housed in the basement of Lockood Library. Japanese-language material is the most current, Chinese materials are greatest in number, and Korean materials are recent. The collection is particularly strong in history (330 titles), literature (630 titles), Buddhism (140 titles), and bibliographic and reference materials (120 titles). The collection has been built through traditional acquisitions, gifts from interested faculty and other individuals, and a grant from the Japan Foundation. All materials may be used onsite and most may be borrowed.

Japanese-Language Collection
A list of materials in the collection.

Encyclopedias and Dictionaries
The East Asian Collection holds several valuable specialized and topical encyclopedias and dictionaries on Japan. Among these resources is the twenty-volume Nihon Kokugo Daijiten , Japan's most comprehensive language dictionary and Kokushi Daijiten Japan's most comprehensive historical dictionary (15 volumes).

The fifty-one volume Koji Ruien covers all phases of life in premodern Japan and is a crucial collection of primary source materials selected from books published before 1868. Basic descriptions of pre-modern, modern, and contemporary Japan are covered by the twenty-one volume Dai Nihon Hyakka Jit en. Several practical dictionaries for Japanese linguistics cover grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. They are widely used in Japan by Japanese language teachers as well as students, from beginners to advanced learners.

Literature
The collection contains a good basic collection to support literary research. It's coverage spans classical literature, such as Kokin Wakashu (8th century) to contemporary literature such as works by Yukio. Shin Nihon Koten Bungaku Taikei , 52 volumes, is heavily used by the Japanese academic libraries. This collection covers important Japanese classical literature written from the 8th century to 1868. Each work is well annotated and translated into modern Japanese by prominent scholars. It contains useful indexes. As for modern literature (1868 to 1926), the 54 volume Nihon Kindai Bungaku Taikei is a valuable collection including non-fiction, drama, essays and criticism. Each included work is complemented by detailed notes, a list of reference works, and a concise biography of the author. Literature from 1926 to 1989 is covered by the 35 volume Showa Bungaku Zenshu . Each included work and its author is introduced and described by a well-known contemporary scholar. A concise autobiography of each authors is included.
A complete set of Genji Monogatari (The Tale of Genji), translated by Osamu Hashimoto, is held. Information on recent literature is available in Nihon no Shosetsu Zen Joho.

Arts
Of special note is the three volume art catalog of the famous 18th century painter Hokusai Katsushika.

Linguistics
Especially noteworthy is the collection on Japanese linguistics, grammar, and its history, as well as study and teaching and comparative grammar. The collection includes a complete 8 volume set of works by the famous Japanese linguist Shinkichi Hashimoto (1882-1945). The 12 volume Koza Nihongo Gaku is a valuable source for learning and teaching Japanese language. Two important scholarly journals are available: Kokugogaku and Kokugo Kokubun.

History
Materials on Japanese history mainly cover the late 19th and 20th centuries. The 3 volume Nihonshi Kenkyu Nyumon offers an important study guide for beginners. It includes an outline of Japanese historical studies and historical methodology. The 4 volume Okubo Toshimichi Kankei bunsh o is a valuable collection of correspondences related to Okubo Toshimichi, prominent politician in the Meiji era. Important scholarly journals such as Nihon Rekishi and Shigaku Zasshi are also available.

Religion
There is a substantial collection of materials on Japanese religion, especially Buddhism. Among works held are doctrinal and sacred texts such as Dizo kyo 85 volumes, and Kokuyaku Issaikyo each part of which is comprised of 225 volumes and 101 volumes respectively. Some materials held are rare even in Japan. Kanchu gokyosho is available only at Harvard and Buffalo in the US. Samonhozo sen Daijo kishinron giki, the 1885 edition, is held only at Buffalo in the US. The 30 volume Kando Abidatsuma kusharon also appears to be sparsely held.

Korean-Language Collection
List of materials in the collection.

This small collection focuses on literature and religion.

Formulaic searches in the online catalog will quickly identify material by country, topic, or language.

• Keyword search: china.su. will identify material that has something to do with China.
• Keyword search: chin?.su. will identify material that has something to do with China or things Chinese. "?" truncates chin, retrieving words with any number of letters following the"n."
• Subject search: china will tap into the Library of Congress subject headings structure. An example of this structure is provided below.
• Especially useful terms --bibliography, biography, civilization, criticism and interpretation, description and travel, dictionaries, economic conditions, encyclopedias, foreign relations, history, maps, sources, statistics (there are many others)-- are always available to be added to any subject heading search or keyword search. Qualify a keyword search by using them as appropriate, for instance, if searching for a bibliography on Chinese history, try the keyword search china.su. and history.su. and bibliography.su.

In keyword mode, a subject search, or an author or title word search can be qualified by language, for instance, the search china.su. and kor.la. will generate a list of materials that are written in Korean and have something to do with China.

• To find maps of China perform the keyword search: china.su. and p.fmt.
• To find newspapers, periodicals, and serials on China perform the keyword search: china.su. and s.fmt.
• To find sound recordings (voice or music) about China perform the keyword search: china.su. and s.gmd.
• To find video recordings, videodiscs, motion pictures, or slides about China perform the keyword search: china.su. and f.fmt.
• To find a book on china published by Harvard University Press perform the keyword search: china.su. and harvard.260.
• To find a book on China written in Chinese perform the keyword search: china.su. and chi.la.

A subject search using China as the first term will bring up the list of Library of Congress subject headings dealing with China. The list is very long and the list provided below is offered, of course, only as an illustration.

Searching for Material in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean

Searching in Asian characters, at present, is not possible in the catalog of the University Libraries. You must search using transliterations.

Searching in Transliterated Chinese:	When searching for Chinese-language material use the Pinyin transliteration system first, if this does not work try Wade-Giles. For a conversion table for Wade-Giles to Zhuyin to Pinyin see the Library of Coingress' http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/eastasian/ctable2.htm
Searching in Transliterated Japanes e:	Use modified Hepburn style as found in the standard dictionary Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary. There are rules for how to divide Japanese into "words. However, these are so many inconsistencies in actual practice that it is often best to try different combinations.
Searching in Transliterated Korean :	The North American standard for library catalogs is the McCune-Reischauer System (as modified by the U.S. Library of Congress). The original publication setting forth this scheme is the Romanization of the Korean Language by G.M. McCune, E.O. Reischauer.(Seoul, Korea: Printed by Y.M.C.A. Press, 1939). The Library of Congress' interpretation of this system, including word division rules, is found in: ALA-LC Romanization Tables: Transliteration Schemes for Non-Roman Scripts, Approved by the Library of Congress and the American Library Association (Washington: Cataloging Distribution Service, Library of Congress, 1997). Web sites that will assist with the transliteration of Korean script are found at: http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/eastasian/krntable.htm .

To determine the availability of a particular periodical or journal use BISON, to determine the electronic availability of a particular title a convenient solution is Electronic Journals Holdings.

Encoding and Decoding Asian Texts	Without the right software Asian characters will be unreadable on your computer. A company called UnionWay ( http://www.unionway.com/servlet/Node?Node=1 ) offers kits for Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK). They offer free 30-day trial software on their Web site. TwinBridge ( http://www.twinbridge.com/ ) is another popular CJK software company.
Machine Translation: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean	While machine translation is not yet perfected, you may find the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean capabilities of Babelfish, freely available at http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr useful.
Searching the Asian Internet	To search the Internet sites from Asian nations you will be best served by Web directories and search engines designed specifically for this task. Relevant search engines and directories are aggregated in geographically organized lists of links at Global Direkt.com: Far East ( http://www.globaltelecom.org/fareast.htm ). Search Engines: Asian Databases http://ciolek.com/SearchEngines.html#asia is part of the Asian Studies Virtual Library. Chaotic but worth a look.
Finding Web Sites on East Asian Studies	Beyond searching the Web using a search engine, there are extensive collections of Web resources through which to search, some are focused on countries and regions, while others have a disciplinary and then a regional grouping. Foremost among guides to Asian materials are those of the World Wide Web Virtual Library, which appear below as appropriate. For a discussion of the Virtual Library project visit http://vlib.org/AboutVL.html.
