The purpose of the Asian Languages Collection is to support the teaching and research programmes of the School of Asian Studies at the University of Auckland .
See Collection Development Policy.
The collection focuses on the literature, history, language, philosophy and religions of China, Japan and Korea, in the languages of these countries. It includes reference books, periodicals, newspapers, electronic databases, videos and CDs. Material on linguistics, sociology, politics and economics is being added to support new areas of interest in the School of Asian Studies programme.
Rare books and valuable items for research purposes are stored in closed access on Level 3 and in Special Collections on Level G. English language material relevant to Asian Studies is held throughout the Library, particularly in the Arts collections in the General Library.
