Locating books
Reference works in all languages are kept in the Reference Room. All Harvard-Yenching books are intershelved together regardless of language; and the same holds true for LC works. Please do not hesitate to ask the librarians if you cannot find a work. Due to space problems, only the most important reference works are kept in this room: others might be in the stacks. For yearbooks, mostly only the most current copy is shelved in the reference room. There is a small one-day circulating reference section, second copies only, in the Special Collections Room.
All the other East Asian Library western-language works are located on the third floor in Jones Hall. These include a small collection of uncataloged proceedings of conferences etc., Richardson and LC monographs, and Richardson and Western LC periodicals.
Many current unbound issues of the more important journals are found in the Periodicals Reading Room.
The Western-language Wilhelm collection is located in the Special Collections Room. You can use these works only within the library; they do not circulate.
Currently, East Asian Library Western microforms are stored in the microfilm section in Firestone. The catalog records for such items, however, are only available at the East Asian Library. The few Western rare books are in Mudd Library.
To check out a book, go to the desk assistant, who will tell you what to do.
Periodicals
Non-reference CJK monographs can be found on the fourth floor, but part of the periodical section is on the third floor in Jones. The Chinese Harvard-Yenching bound periodicals are located to the left when you enter Jones, the Japanese Harvard-Yenching bound periodicals are located to the right.
Current unbound issues of many of the more important journals are in the Periodicals Reading Room, along with some newspapers. Other Chinese, Japanese or Korean unbound periodicals are kept in the Periodicals Work Room, where Mr. Hsing-feng Liu and Ms. Sumiko Maeda can help you. Bound LC periodicals are intershelved with the regular LC books, in the stacks on the fourth floor. All bound Korean Harvard-Yenching periodicals are in the Annex.
Monographs
The main Chinese, Japanese and Korean monograph collections are on the fourth floor. LC works in Chinese, Japanese and Korean are intershelved and take up most of the space; oversize books are shelved separately against the wall.
Others
The few Chinese siku books still located in the East Asian Library are located against the wall in Room 408. All others are in the Annexes.
The rare books are in Mudd Library. To peruse them, ask the Chinese bibliographer for instructions and a permission slip to access them. East Asian Library microforms are stored in the microfilm section in Firestone. The catalog records for all such items, however, are only available at the East Asian Library; consult the East Asian Library catalogs before going to Mudd or Firestone.
The non-circulating so-called hishi collection (copies of rare Chinese works, mainly Ming, held in Japan) are located in the Harvard-Yenching Room. You can use these works only within the library; they do not circulate.
Recently cataloged books are on display on the third floor. You can reserve a book from this collection to check out after the display period is over. To check out a book, go to the desk assistant, who will tell you what to do.
The Main Catalog will tell you whether a book has been checked out. If you still cannot locate a book, please ask the desk assistant: (s)he will show you the right location or refer you to other library staff.
If someone else has borrowed the book, you can ask for a recall on the book, using the orange forms at the circulation desk, or the electronic form on the Library Web Catalog. If the book seems to be misplaced, please fill out a trace request: library assistants will do everything possible to locate the book, and you will be notified. If found, the book will be held for you for ten days on the hold shelf.
