Here is the URL to the beta site: <a href="http://www.eastasianlib.org/newsite/">http://www.eastasianlib.org/newsite/</a>. It is built in WordPress, one of popular content management systems for contemporary websites. Below are some of the highlights of the beta site:
<br />
<ul>
<li>Clean layout – A drop-down navigation bar is created with top-rated links according to the CEAL website survey we conducted last year.</li>
<li>Responsive and consistent design – The beta site can work well on a variety of devices (desktop, tablet, phone, etc.) and window or screen sizes. All webpages have visual consistency in design.</li>
<li>More visual elements – The homepage includes a wide image slider to feature CEAL news. There are also photos of CEAL members and activities across the website.</li>
<li>One place for annual meeting programs – A centralized section for annual meetings is created for all plenary and committee program schedules and presentation slides.</li>
</ul>
Please note that the beta site only includes important and updated content for CEAL, and annual meeting programs and presentations from 2018 on. All the historical content (2017 and prior years) are still kept on the current website. The current site will be archived with a new URL when the beta site becomes the official CEAL website at the beginning of next year (2019).<br />
<br />
Our website development team (Anlin Yang, Lucy Gan and myself) would like to express our gratitude to the Executive Board for their generous support of this website redesign project. We would love to hear your feedback about the beta site. Please submit your comments using “Contact Us” form on the bottom right of the beta site or email Tang Li (<a href="mailto:tangli@usc.edu">tangli@usc.edu</a>) directly through the end of this year.CEAL Library Techhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03570355893290981188noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658563146941084365.post-51628398211467220502018-06-05T15:00:00.000-07:002018-06-05T15:00:03.649-07:00DH/DS resources for East Asian studies and beyondSome of CEAL colleagues attended the <a href="https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/cbdb/international-conference-cyberinfrastructure-historical-china-studies" target="_blank">International conference on the cyberinfrastructure for historical China studies</a> at Harvard China Center, Shanghai in March and/or the <a href="http://shc.stanford.edu/events/digital-humanities-asia-2018-summit" target="_blank">Digital Humanities Asia 2018 Summit </a>at Stanford in April.

Contrary to my previous understanding, Wi-Fi will be available in the Sheraton Centre Toronto meeting rooms for CEAL 2017. I confirmed this today with the AV provider for the Sheraton. Also the AAS information sheet, <a href="http://www.asian-studies.org/Portals/55/Conference/Know%20before%20You%20Go%20Checklist.pdf?ver=2017-03-10-082319-970" target="_blank">"Know Before You Go"</a> says: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We will provide complimentary Wi-Fi in all meeting rooms and common spaces in the Sheraton. <span style="background-color: yellow;">Use the code AAS2017 to connect</span>. Additionally, all attendees staying at the Sheraton or the Hilton will also receive complimentary internet in hotel rooms.

Once elected members will be expected to take part in NCC Committees and Working Groups and are likely to be asked to co-chair one or more such groups.<br /><br />As is required by its by-laws, the NCC seeks to include among Council members faculty and librarians from diverse regions of the country, from institutions of varying size, and from Japanese and East Asian studies programs with a range of strengths and foci. Selection of candidates will, therefore, take into consideration current representation on those committees in filling these positions. A list of the current Council Members and is contained in the About NCC section of the website at <a href="http://guides.nccjapan.org/content.php?pid=246207&sid=2033554">http://guides.nccjapan.org/content.php?pid=246207&sid=2033554</a>. A brief description of positions follows:<br /><br />NCC Elected Librarian Council Members: The two librarian positions to be filled in 2017 are for librarian members from a range of institutions and regions, and from institutions with collections of all sizes both those broadly covering Japan and East Asia and those that may be more specialized. Past experience as a member of an NCC committee or working group or a CEAL committee, as well as other service to the field is desirable. <br /><br />NCC Elected Social Sciences Faculty Member: Elected faculty members are chosen to represent not only a range of institutions and regions but also to represent a diversity of disciplines, time periods and research methodologies. The social science faculty member may come from any field of social sciences and must have an active engagement with libraries and library-related issues. An interest in digital scholarship and participation in disciplinary and field wide service is also of important consideration. <br /><br />To propose a candidate for one of these positions, please send an email nomination by March 20, 2017 to NCC Chair Setsuko Noguchi <a href="mailto:snoguchi@princeton.edu">snoguchi@princeton.edu</a> and to NCC Executive Director Victoria Bestor at <a href="mailto:vbestor@fas.harvard.edu">vbestor@fas.harvard.edu</a>.

<hr />
Dear CEAL Members, <br />
Encouraged by the number of applications, strong support of our library community, and the successful completion of the internship program in recent years, the Committee on Technical Processing and the Library of Congress will again coordinate and carry out the Library of Congress-CEAL Cataloging Internship Program in 2017. CEAL developed this Internship Program partnership with the Library of Congress in order to provide training opportunities to those who may not have access to adequate cataloging training support in their own institutions, or to those who have been assigned to catalog materials in a language with which they are not entirely conversant.
<br />
<br />
Experienced catalogers who wish to develop expertise in cataloging material in a certain subject or subjects (i.e. law material or manga), or in a specialized format, are also encouraged to apply.
<br />
<br />
The interns selected will receive substantial training at the Library of Congress from the Library's catalogers.<br /><br />
<h3>
Logistics of the Program</h3>
<ul style="margin-left: 5px;">
<li>The Committee on Technical Processing will screen the 2017 applications, and will forward one or two qualified applicants to the Library of Congress. </li>
<li>Later in 2016, the Library of Congress will select up to two qualified applicants for an internship of between one and three months in duration. The person selected will directly negotiate the length of the internship, its timing and general content with the Library of Congress.</li>
<li>The Library of Congress will supply training materials, workspace, training and review by experience catalogers in one or more aspects of cataloging East Asian language materials. All other expenses (travel, lodging, meals, and incidentals) are the responsibility of the intern and/or his/her employer.</li>
<li>CEAL will reimburse each intern up to $1,000 for expenses incurred. Upon successful completion of the program, the intern may submit receipts for expenses to the Committee for reimbursement. An intern whose institution has provided no money for expenses will receive the full amount.</li>
<li>Upon completion of her/his internship at the Library of Congress, the intern will be required to submit an evaluative written report.</li>
</ul>
<h3>
Procedures</h3>
The application process will be overseen by the members of the Subcommittee on Library of Congress-CEAL Cataloging Internship Program: Philip Melzer (Chair), Keiko Suzuki, and Erminia Chao.

The winners of the 2016 competition are:<br />
<ul>
<h3>
University of California Irvine Libraries
</h3>
Project Lead: Ying Zhang, Research Librarian for Asian Studies
<br />
<br />Collaborators: Susan Xue (UC Berkeley), Zhaohui Xue (Duke), and Xiaohe Ma (Harvard)
<br /><br />Award: $53,810
<br />
<br />
Project: From Curation of Collection to Creation of Knowledge: Building a Bilingual Dictionary of Ming Government Official Titles through Crowdsourcing
<br /><br />Description: This project aims to fill a critical lacuna in Chinese reference collection development by creating – through an open source platform to “crowd-source” content – an online dictionary of Ming dynasty official titles. This work will build on the standard source for translations of official titles by Charles O. Hucker (A Dictionary of Official Titles in Imperial China) by adding over 600 translations for the Ming dynasty. This will fill a major gap for scholars of the Ming and those who need standardized English translations of imperial government titles for digital humanities and other projects. The new dictionary will be publicly accessible through the UC-Irvine digital repository.
<br />
<h3>
Stanford University Libraries</h3>
Project Lead: Jidong Yang, Head, East Asia Library
<br />
<br />Collaborators at Stanford: Zhaohui Xue, Nicholas Taylor, and Gary Geisler; under the general oversight PI Michael A. Keller
<br />
<br />Award: $39,650
<br /><br />
Project: Recording the Emerging Chinese Civil Society: Archiving Websites and Social Media of Chinese NGOs and Making Them Accessible
<br /><br />
Description: This project will enhance and extend an effort to collect born digital materials (websites and social media) published by Chinese NGOs active in the sectors of environmental protection, HIV/AIDS, labor and migrant workers, legal aid, social enterprise, women and gender issues, and ethnic minorities. The grant will be used to double the coverage of an initial project begun by the Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, enhance the metadata to improve accessibility, and develop an existing open-source platform for online exhibits to feature the archived content.</ul>
The two projects impressed the review panel with both the importance of the collection development focus and the plans for technology development. Congratulations to both universities and the project leads and their collaborators!<br />
<br />
CEAL is grateful to The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the funding for the Innovation Grant Program and to the entire grant review panel.
