In order to relieve the congestion of the collections in the EAL
mezzanine stacks, a project to shift the Chinese and Japanese LC
collections within the mezzanine will begin on July 9, 2009 and is
expected to last for one month. During this time, all access to the
collections and circulation will be as normal, but patrons may be
inconvenienced if the particular materials they are searching for are
being moved at that time. In case of problems accessing materials,
please contact EAL staff for assistance.

*** UPDATE : May 1, 2009 ***

The move of the NDC and unprocessed Korean materials mentioned below was completed on April 17.
NDC materials are located on the first floor of SAL2 next to EAL’s Harvard-Yenching Collection. As mentioned below, these materials are accessible directly at SAL or can be paged to the EAL. Please contact EAL circulation at (650) 725-3434 or eastasialibrary@stanford.edu for questions regarding our collections in SAL.

*****

Beginning April 7, 2009 East Asia Library books and serials arranged by the Nippon Decimal Classification located in our mezzanine stacks will be moved to the Stanford Auxiliary Library (SAL) located on Pampas Lane across from the University Credit Union. Books in the NDC collection are Japanese language materials identified with 000-999 call numbers. Unprocessed Korean materials are also to be moved to SAL.

NDC material can be accessed and circulated directly to patrons at SAL (please see http://library.stanford.edu/depts/sal/about/access_circulation.html for more information), or requested from the East Asia Library circulation desk.

For more information or help with locating NDC or unprocessed Korean material, please contact EAL circulation at (650) 725-3434 or eastasialibrary@stanford.edu
