The study was designed to assess faculty and staff satisfaction with library-wide services and resources. The purpose of this study is to obtain objective, quantifiable information from the faculty and staff at the University of Iowa regarding library services and resources. The objectives of the Faculty and Staff Study were: to ascertain and understand how faculty and staff access library resources and services; to ascertain what library services, resources, collections and facilities faculty and staff use for study, teaching and research; to ascertain faculty and staff perceptions of library resources and services; to ascertain how satisfied faculty and staff are with library resources and services; to identify unmet needs and areas for improvement.
The most recent and comprehensive introduction of the East Asian Collections in North America is ... more The most recent and comprehensive introduction of the East Asian Collections in North America is the work of: A Guide to East Asian Collections in North America, compiled by Thomas H. Lee and published in 1992 2 . After fifteen years, reviewing Lee's work reminds me of the revolutionary changes that have taken place in the field of East Asian Collection development in North America since that time. For example, in Lee's work, there is no mention of digital resources among the 55 major North American East Asian collections. However, today, East Asian digital materials have become the major collection development focus for most of the major North American East Asian collections. In 2006, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the accessible internet-based Chinese digital titles (purchased or subscribed commercial products only), including monographs, serials, newspapers, dissertations, and conference proceedings, have reached a total more than one million titles, which has surpassed the entire title total of our East Asian Collection in print and other formats. Another change is in audio/visual materials (also unmentioned in Lee's work). These have now become another hot item for collection development among major East Asian libraries in North America. It follows the trend of popular curricula and increased teaching and research interests in East Asian films, visual arts, and music studies. From every perspective, an updated, more detailed introduction to major North American East Asian collections seems more urgent than ever for users as well as for East Asian librarians. To this, I tip my hat to the organizers of the conference: Over a Hundred Years of Collecting: The History of East Asian Collections in North America, (Berkeley, Oct. 20-21, 2007), and the idea of publishing the papers of the conference, as, themselves, the purveyors of the new, most up-to-date introduction to major East Asian collections in North America. My paper for this conference will focus on the historical background, collection development goals and foci, current situation, special strengths, and future plan of a specific case: the East Asian Collection development at UCSD. I hope the paper will make its own contribution to the greater effort of this event.
