Strengthening Library Holdings in Asian Studies

Over the past several years, Asian Studies has been growing at the University of Florida. New junior faculty in Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (LLC) and History bring teaching and research strengths that expand learning opportunities for students. This grant would provide funding for library acquisition of secondary scholarship in Asian studies in English published in the past decade. These titles represent the newest and most innovative research across conventional regional, temporal, and disciplinary divides. Their acquisition will invigorate our existing holdings of rare materials, graphic novels, and the visual arts, and introduce students from diverse backgrounds to the discipline.
