Dear Eastlib-ers:
Are you planning to bring a camera to San Diego? Do you hope to take some snapshots of CEAL events and your colleagues attending them? If so, would you consider sharing your photos? And if you’re not bringing your camera, please consider it!
At least two members of the Technology Committee hope to take some snaps as time allows, but we’d like to have many more sources for great photos.
I plan to create a shared Picasa folder, “CEAL 2013,” so that everyone can share a photo record of CEAL 2013. I will set up the folder after I return from San Diego.
Please consider taking plenty of interesting photos of all CEAL events, and then sharing them. I’ll let you know the details after CEAL.
See you in San Diego!

This Year’s Annual Meeting
CEAL Colleagues,
The 2013 CEAL annual meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 20 and Thursday, March 21 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego. This year’s conference theme is “Open Access and Discovery in the Academic Universe: Next Steps for East Asian Studies Research and Library Development”.
Beginning this year, CEAL annual meeting will have two distinct
components: the first day will be a full-day of plenary sessions all centering around a broad conference theme, with an opening plenary session, a plenary session on collections and a plenary session on services. The second day of the meeting will be a full-day of committee work sessions, each with only 50 minutes of reports, briefings or demonstrations of best practices.
The Wednesday’s opening plenary will feature three nationally-prominent leaders and thinkers—Brewster Kahle, Pamela Samuelson and Clifford Lynch—who will deliver keynote speeches on open access and its implications to research libraries in the U.S. Following the opening plenary, in the afternoon three scholars will explore trends and developments in open access in China, Japan and Korea respectively. The plenary will end with Brian Schottlaender’s keynote speech on the evolution of open access, along with select CEAL members who will share their thoughts on open access services in various member institutions. All these sessions are designed to help CEAL members explore critical issues, ideas, and changing directions impacting our profession today. There will be a CEAL reception at the end of the day.
The program continues on Thursday, with successive committee meetings and additional meetings such as the OCLC User Forum, NCC meeting, and the Chinese Publishing Association’s forum. The program will conclude on Thursday afternoon with a closing plenary to summarize the highlights of this year’s annual meeting and to introduce next year’s conference theme.
This year’s CEAL annual meeting program does not include a fellowship dinner, but a CEAL reception. Since the UC San Diego Library will not be able to accommodate any library tours during the final exam period of the university’s Winter Quarter, we will not have a library visit this year, either.
Below is the web link to a two-page PDF file of “The 2013 CEAL Annual Meeting at a Glance”.

I welcome all of you to participate in an engaging annual meeting with vigorous discussions as we meet in San Diego.

Call for Paper: 8th International Conference on Cooperation and Promotion of Information Resources in Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, 2013
The 8th International Conference on Cooperation and Promotion of Information Resources in Science and Technology (COINFO 2013) is organized by China’s national research agency, the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China (ISTIC), in collaboration with Wuhan University and renowned colleges and universities from around the world.
The COINFO 2013 theme is Sharing of Information Resources in the Era of Big Data. Along with the fast development of Internet and Internet of Things (IOT), Big Data technologies are already operating behind the scene delivering benefit to many organisations through massive power for data analysis. The impacts are still unknown, but the capacity to analyse trends including individual consumer behaviour are both exciting and daunting. It will be critical to identify and manage issues so that we can enjoy the many benefits of Big Data; issues to be explored include:
● The challenge to management in the era of Big Data
● Automated decision-making – is there more or less potential for another global financial melt-down driven by decision-making software
● Social impacts – privacy/security
● How to release results of data analysis that might have impacts on individuals and groups
● How to successfully adopt and how to equip managers to realize the benefits of Big Data
Now in its 8th year COINFO is one of the most influential forums in China and attracts senior officials and industry leaders as well as experts from Germany, UK, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand, South Korea, Canada, Australia, Sweden, USA and China. It has now become a high-end international platform for academic exchanges in information sharing. We invite researchers and management scientists to submit quality research and discussion papers and attend this important and influential event.

Japanese Romanization Table Revision Approved
Dear all,
Chair, CEAL Technical Processing Committee
Setsuko Noguchi
Chair, CEAL Japanese Materials Committee
Please read the LC announcement
below approving the ALA-LC Japanese Romanization Table Revision. The
major difference between this approved version and the September proposal you read
is that Table C, Long Vowels and Diphthongs, was not included.
Japanese Romanization Table Revision Approved
The ALA-LC Romanization tables are developed jointly by the Library of Congress (LC) and the American Library Association (ALA). Romanization schemes enable the cataloging of foreign language materials. Romanized cataloging in turn supports circulation, acquisitions, serials check-in, shelf listing, shelving, and reference, particularly in library catalogs that are unable to display non-roman alphabet information.
The ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Asian and African Materials (CC:AAM) recently received and reviewed a proposal to revise the Japanese romanization table. The table has subsequently been approved.
The revised Japanese romanization table is now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html .Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, Policy and Standards Division (bjoh@loc.gov).
The
CEAL Committee on Technical Process and Committee on Japanese Materials wish to
thank the CTP/CJM
Joint Task Force on the LC Proposal for Japanese Romanization for their
great leadership and intellectual efforts in working closely with CEAL
community and LC to provide significant contribution to this revision.
The Task Force members are:
The Task Force members are:
- Keiko Suzuki, Yale University, Chair
- Rob Britt, University of Washington
- Yoko Kudo, University of California Riverside
- Mieko Mazza, Yale University (now at Stanford University)
- Hikaru Nakano, University of Florida
Thanks also to CEAL members who
have contributed to the revision by providing feedback.
As the work
of the CTP/CJM
Joint Task Force on the LC Proposal for Japanese Romanization is now complete, we are pleased to announce
that it is formally discharged. For more details about the work of the TF, please check its web page at: http://www.eastasianlib.org/ctp/sub_Japaneseromanization.htm
Meanwhile, the revision of the
Japanese Romanization Table will continue. CTP and CJM are working on the formation of a
new working group. We will send out the announcement soon. If you are
interested in joining the working group, please contact me (sdeng@ucsd.edu) or Setsuko (enoguchi@live.com).
Best,
