CEAL Website Back Online

As noted in my recent post, the CEAL Website was hacked last week. I took steps to secure our server, and have now restored the site (click to view the CEAL website).


CEAL Server Folder administrators: 

For now access to the CEAL server is limited to me, as I am testing our site to make sure there is no further problem. No FTP access to your folders on the server is available. I am currently developing a new system to allow you to administer your folders with less risk to the CEAL server.

About one or two weeks from now (as soon as possible), I will contact you with new information about how to update your CEAL server folder. Thanks for your patience.

Let me know if you have questions or concerns.

Yours truly,
Rob Britt

CEAL Website Down

The CEAL website has been hit with the second malware attack in the last two weeks. I am working to restore the website, but it may take some time (it's difficult to be more specific at this point). I will carefully (and slowly) make sure the problem is resolved before restoring the website. As it is the holiday, it may take longer than otherwise. In the meantime, the two CEAL blogs, CEAL News and CEAL Jobs (both hosted by Google blogger) are working. The Eastlib listserv is also still working.  I am happy to do posts for you on the blogs, just let me know what you'd like to post.

Thanks for your patience.

For those who manage folders on the CEAL website:

I have changed all the passwords, again. This means that you will have no FTP access to your CEAL folder. After the website is restored, you may email me for further information and instructions. At that point, I will re-issue your password. In the meantime, please do a complete malware scan of your computers, especially your CEAL web folder backup.

Have a great holiday season.
Regards,
Rob

Grant Funding Available for Library Acquisitions of Japanese Studies Material

Dear Japanese Studies Researchers and Librarians,

The North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Materials (NCC), through the generous support of the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission (JUSFC) and the Japan Publications Trading Co. (JPT), annually makes available substantial funding for library acquisition of multi-volume sets (including microforms, sets of back issues of journals etc.) of Japanese studies materials, published two or more years ago, with limited holdings in academic institutions in the USA.
  • 75% of the purchase price is available for such sets not held in full and circulated through interlibrary loan by any US academic institution
  • 50% of the purchase price is available for such sets held in full and circulated through ILL by no more than one US academic institution
Applicants need merely cover the remaining costs (including shipping), catalog materials in a timely fashion, and offer them for interlibrary loan to other North American users.

In addition, smaller institutions (with acquisitions budgets of less than $10,000 annually for Japanese materials) are eligible to apply for up to 80% support for any multi-volume set costing 100,000 yen or more, regardless of the number of US holdings.

For more information, please visit the MVS Grant pages on the NCC website:
http://guides.nccjapan.org/content.php?pid=358716&sid=2933705

We are fast-approaching the pre-screening deadline of November 1, and based on the current number of applicants, should be able to fund many more proposals. The pre-screening application is extremely simple, requiring nothing more than basic identifying information regarding the applicant and the resource(s) for which you wish to apply. Multiple applications from a single institution are welcome. The final application will not be due until January 9, 2015.

The pre-screening application is available as a downloadable link from this page:
http://guides.nccjapan.org/content.php?pid=358716&sid=2933708#15174553

For larger institutions (annual Japanese studies collecting budgets of $10,000 or more), you may wish to consult the following list for samples of applicable materials (not all, but many of these titles are still eligible for grant application; check USA holdings through Worldcat.org):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiwQBJpMwFwPdGNxUzZ1R0FhMWROOExiR3l3eVo1WkE#gid=0

In addition, NCC’s Cooperative Collection Development Working Group is urging librarians to consider acquiring back files (monthly/annual reprints or discs) of select local Japanese newspapers not held in the USA. Some of these are eligible for MVS Grant applications and the MVS Grant Committee supports applications for them. Please see the list of some eligible titles below.

Have questions? Need help? I am at your service. As the recipient of four previous NCC MVS grants, I can testify: this is too great an opportunity for you to ignore!

Yours,
Dan McKee

New Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies at East Asia Library of UW Libraries

A Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies (TRCCS) has been established at the East Asia Library of University of Washington Libraries through collaboration between UW Libraries and the National Central Library, Taiwan.

On October 2nd, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the University of Washington (UW) Libraries and the National Central Library (NCL) of Taiwan was signed in establishment of the Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies at the East Asia Library of UW Libraries. This new center is the second established in the United States, and the eighth worldwide. At the UW signing ceremony, NCL Director-general Tseng Shu-hsien presented also the University of Washington with a gift of the reproduction of a Taiwanese national treasure—the Annotated Poems of Su Dongpo – dating from the twelfth century.

Following the signing ceremony, guest speaker, Professor Shih-hui Chen from the Shepherd School of Music of Rice University, spoke on “Messages from Taiwan: Recreating Tradition through Musical Composition”. A scholar and composer, Dr. Chen is world renowned in her field. A third component of the dedication on OCT 2nd was the official opening of an exhibition entitled “Traditional and Modern Music of Taiwan,” on display in the UW East Asia Library through December 12. Included in the exhibit are 79 volumes and 92 audiovisual files of modern, traditional, pop, aboriginal, and Hakka musical selections and musicians.

At the signing ceremony, Vice-Provost and Dean of UW Libraries Betsy Wilson said, “The center is another milestone in the long tradition and friendship between UW Libraries and National Central Library and other Libraries in Taiwan.” Through the center, this collaboration brings to the University of Washington valuable scholarly publications of Chinese and Taiwanese studies and an annual series of lectures about Taiwan. The establishment of the center will further expand scholarly resources in Taiwan Chinese studies at the UW, enlarge the scope of exchange between the University of Washington and Taiwan, and promote cultural understanding.

CEAL Website: Library List Updated

I've just updated the East Asian Library List on the CEAL website. I believe the links are now all working. However, please check the link to your collection, to make sure I have linked to the desired page. Many of the pages have change in recent years, and nearly half of the sites I checked needed an update, which I did using my best judgement.

Also, please let me know if your library is not included in the list, and you would like me to add a link. Please reply to me at: rrbritt@uw.edu.

Survey on Japanese Romanization

Japanese Romanization Table Survey | Task Force Final Report

Dear colleagues,
The CTP/CJM Joint Working Group on Japanese Romanization Table would like to invite your participation in a survey on the ALA-LC Romanization Table: Japanese (updated in 2012).

The WG has been working to resolve the issues that were identified by the Task Force on the LC Proposal for Japanese Romanization (for full details, please see the TF's final report). With this survey, we would like to hear from the CEAL community about how you currently deal with those issues, as well as what other issues or questions you have experienced since the Romanization Table was revised. The results of the survey will be used to prioritize the issues, and determine how they should be addressed to improve the Romanization Table.

Please take a moment to answer the Japanese Romanization Table Survey, by Thursday, June 19th. It should only take about 5 minutes of your time.

The WG appreciates your cooperation.

Sincerely,
CJM/CTP Joint Working Group on Japanese Romanization Table

Journal of East Asian Libraries: Vote on Change of Publishing Format

Task Force Final Report (PDF) | Gail King's Presentation

To All CEAL Members:

The CEAL Executive Board has been involved in discussions about the format of the Journal of East Asian Libraries since last year. As Past-President Peter Zhou announced during the Business Plenary at the CEAL meeting in Philadelphia, the Executive Board made a decision to ask CEAL members their opinion on this issue. Below is a summary explaining the actions of the Executive Board to date.

April, 2013

Task Force on JEAL chaired by Gail King created to examine the issue of whether JEAL should continue being published in print with an open-access electronic archive (the status quo) or move to entirely online publishing.

November, 2013

The Task Force completed its work and submitted its final report to the Executive Board

February, 2014

Following sustained discussion, the Executive Board voted to in favor of moving to online-only publishing for JEAL. It was also decided that the Executive Board would not proceed unless the membership indicated support for this option.

Next Steps


April, 2014

The Task Force on JEAL Final Report is to be circulated to all CEAL members.

May, 2014

Voting by the membership is to take place between May 1 and May 15, with an announcement of the results on May 20.

Linked above is a copy of the final report of the task force. Pages one and two of the report present the issues and the pros and cons of each approach. Please take the time to review this report and if you have any questions, send them to Gail King (gail_king@byu.edu) or Ellen Hammond (ellen.hammond@yale.edu). For further information, please also consult Gail King’s PowerPoint presentation at the CEAL meeting, also linked above.

The announcement to open the voting will take place on May 1 and the process will be similar to that for CEAL elections (that is, online voting).

I want to thank Gail King and Peter Zhou for their leadership on this issue and also recognize the contributions of the other Task Force Members: Hee-Sook Shin, Vickie Doll, Chengzhi Wang, and Joy Kim. The Task Force members did an exemplary job investigating the issues.

Best regards,

New: CEAL Technical Services Expertise List

Expertise List | Expertise Survey | CTP

Dear Colleagues,
At the 2013 CEAL Annual Meeting, the idea was raised that the Committee on Technical Processing (CTP) should gather cataloging expertise information from CEAL members, so that it would be easier for CEAL members to find colleagues with special skills for consultation or collaboration. As a result, the Committee on Technical Processing worked with the Membership Committee to gather information on the technical services expertise of CEAL members.

We are pleased to announce that the survey results are available from the link below. We would like to thank Rob Britt (Library Technology Committee) for providing the technical support.
CEAL Technical Services Expertise List
The survey results will also be linked on the CTP webpage.

We hope this list will be a valuable resource for colleagues seeking technical services expertise among the CEAL membership.

We will keep the survey open so anyone who wants to be included or wants to update information can do so by clicking here. Please note that we will continue to maintain this list.

Please send any questions or correction requests to Mieko Mazza and Keiko Suzuki.
