Synopsis of Research in Shanghai (July 5 - July 26) :

The primary goal of Charlene Chou’s research project is to enhance the discovery of East Asian e-journal collections by loading title-level resource descriptions into the library system Alma. This will make these e-resources more easily accessible in the NYU Shanghai Library catalog, supporting research, teaching, and learning within the NYU community. For instance, the Dacheng Old Journal Full-Text Database contains 1.3 million journal articles from over 7,000 journals. In the current catalog, only the database titles can be found,not individual journal titles. However, with the improvement, students or users will be able to locate articles needed for research in the Dacheng database by finding the catalog record for the specific journal title, as cited in the primary source. While conducting this research project at NYU Shanghai, Chou will be able to communicate and collaborate with her colleagues to review and streamline workflows in Alma, the new library system, which recently migrated and went live on January 4, 2024.
