Today, we presented an internal workshop report on “blogging and public services in the ‘evolving virtual library'” from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Main Library. This was a preview of our upcoming presentation at the annual meeting of the Council on East Asian Libraries in Chicago at the end of March.

We also reported on the Japanese collections information needs assessment that we conducted from late January to mid-Feburary with the generous cooperation of many faculty members.

The following is a copy of the biobliography distributed during the workshop:
