of Sinological Librarians - European Sinological Libraries - |
|
For more European sinological libraries please refer also to Libraries
This is the point of starting to gather information on European Sinological
Libraries. In recent editions of BEASL
bigger European libraries with East Asian holdings were introduced. In
BEASL No. 9 Michael Leibold started to collect Material of German Institutes
libraries and libraries of other German speaking countries which are now
also published in this way.
Not all sinological libraries in German speaking countries are represented.
The catalogue is thus far from complete.
But the idea is to collect information on other European Sinological
Libraries and not only those libraries which are joining the EASL -
group.
The information should be published in this way but if you have got
suggestions, ideas or remarks to this form or questions please contact
me.
In order to register your information please use this site!
This an initial overview that hopefully will be followed up by further information on EASL Homepage. It is up to you
