Theme: The Path Forward: the New Post-Pandemic Normal
Program description:
During the period of 2020-2021, institutions in higher education, including academic and research libraries have gone through tremendous transitions and have continually adjusted library services to cope with the COVID-19 global pandemic. Academic and research libraries have created a range of new ways (resources, services, programming, etc.) to fulfill their mission of supporting the teaching, research and learning of faculty and students. While area studies libraries, including East Asian Studies libraries, have experienced many difficulties in collection development, access, and equity during the pandemic, many initiatives have been generated by East Asian libraries and their community. What legacies of the COVID-19 pandemic will we want to continue with as we shape the post-pandemic library? What lessons have we learned through the pandemic that can be retained to better serve the East Asian Studies community? What is the new “normal” going forward for us? What challenges have become even more evident as a result of the pandemic that will need to be continually addressed? What new possibilities/pragmatic approaches are there for East Asian libraries? This session will allow the CEAL community to explore and foster new ways of working among libraries and their professional associations, organizations, and institutions.
This session will include four keynote speakers’ presentations and a panel discussion moderated by the CEAL President, Hana Kim.

Theme: Zoom and Beyond: Socializing with Emerging Applications and Platforms
Library Technology Committee
8:00 am-9:00 am, March 22, 2022
Program Description:
Virtual meetings, programs, and events have become our new social norm due to the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing, and travel restrictions. Zoom is now one of the most popular meeting tools for social interactions and activities. Many of us have also started experimenting with other applications and platforms, such as SpatialChat, Kahoot, MURAL, Google Jamboard, just to name a few. The forum includes three presentations from the CEAL community to share innovative Zoom use cases and experiences with new tools for communicating and interacting with colleagues and users. We intend to investigate and examine the new post-pandemic social normal of embracing emerging technologies and platforms.
Presenters:
Using Google Jamboard as an Interactive Group-work Platform
Kana Jenkins (East Asian Studies Librarian and Curator of the Gordon W. Prange Collection, University of Maryland)

Theme: The Path Forward for the CJM Community
Program Description
The COVID-19 Pandemic has exposed some long-standing issues in our field that we can no longer ignore. There is a large gap between institutions that can be described as the “haves” and “have-nots” when it comes to Japanese e-resources. This presents a challenge for us working individually and/or collectively as well as finding partners to work with. The CJM program presents three talks to enliven discussions among ourselves on these issues. We have selected a diverse group of speakers: one junior and one middle-level Japanese Studies librarians to present on a public outreach program they were involved in as part of an ad hoc
consortium, the Plains to Pacific Alliance (PPA); a senior Japanese Studies librarian who will reflect on her career and offer advice for the field; and a representative from the vendor HathiTrust who is familiar with the Japanese language and can speak to specific issues on Japanese e-resources and metadata.

Theme: DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging) and Cataloging / Metadata
Program Description
In the wake of a series of racist incidents during the pandemic, there has been a lot of discussion regarding DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging) issues in libraries. It is well known that library catalog records and metadata contain terms and subject headings that are offensive to marginalized people. Also, some scholars have pointed out that the LC classification scheme is biased. We would like to hear what our colleagues have been doing to improve the situation and what challenges they have encountered.

Theme: New Publishing Trends and the Impacts on Collection Development and Library Services
Program Description
The Covid-19 pandemic and the government policy changes significantly impacted scholarly publishing, which in turn impacted library collection development and user service. Given that CEAL librarians have not been able to meet with Chinese studies publishers and providers in person for nearly three years, this pre-conference program is intended to provide insightful updates and analysis on new publishing realities and trends in the Greater China Area and on collaborative digitization and publishing across the Pacific. The speakers as experts on publishing from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and the U.S. will respectively address new trends in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and trans-Pacific publishing collaboration.

Theme: Print vs. Digital: Towards Balanced Inclusive Collections.
Program Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to developing and serving print vs. electronic collections. CEAL colleagues, however, have been making enormous individual and collective efforts to address the print vs. digital dilemma. This program is intended for both faculty and librarians to share their unusual experiences and ideas in overcoming adversities in a creative and collaborative approach, and celebrate the achievements of advancing scholarship and rebalancing collection development and user services. The session will feature three speakers (one faculty member, one library director and one librarian) of East Asian / Chinese studies.
