AsianDOC Electronic Newsletter Vol.1 No.1

Date of Publication: March 18, 1998.

Thanks to all the contributors who made this inaugural issue such a great success!

The first two experimental issues of the AsianDOC Electronic Newsletter test the use of a web e-newsletter to support scholars, librarians, and researchers world-wide who are developing text and image databases in the various fields of Asian/EurAsian Studies or who are incorporating materials in Asian languages into larger databases, and to promote better communication among them. A discussion of AsianDOC will be on the agenda of the Work Group for Electronic Resource Development at the Association for Asian Studies annual meeting in Washington, DC on March 28, 7:00-9:00 pm. It will also be discussed at the International Convention of Asia Scholars in late June.

This information system is an official Asian Studies WWW Virtual Library Associate site.

AsianDOC is published at The Ohio State University Libraries and resides on the East Asian Libraries Cooperative WWW computer, which was acquired in 1995 with funding from the U. S. Department of Education under Title II-A.
