Presenting groundbreaking research on the East Asian library, this book provides theoretical exploration on the subject through a passive model of glocalism. It details various aspects of the field and comprehensively covers the progress and conflicts in practice. The issues and perspectives raised here will lead to a rethinking of the field and its role in global interactivity with East Asia.The book will also provide library guidance to the scholars in East Asian studies and related disciplines, offering support to East Asian resources and services that significantly affect scholarly activities.
