Resources

Art
The University owns collections of Chinese and Japanese art and decorative arts (and minerals and shells from this region as well), and we also plan and present exhibitions of art from this region.

Library
Adequate professional journals in the Library, certain films in Chinese and Japanese. We have a reasonably good collection of books and journals within our general library holdings that focus on this area of the world, particularly in history. It is not area that the university has offered coursework in until fairly recently, so our collection would focus on newly published materials, rather than older materials.
