Chinese reference materials available for campus use
UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS
A gift of more than 3,000 reference materials comprise a new resource center at the Confucius Institute at UNL.
The books were donated to UNL by the Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban) in Beijing, China, when the UNL Confucius Institute was inaugurated on Oct. 30. The UNL site is the 20th Confucius Institute in the United States.
The donated materials include books, atlases and audiovisual materials on Chinese history, culture, geography, traditional medicine, language and literature.
UNL Libraries staff have helped the institute catalog and organize the materials.
"We want to thank the staff for their hard work over the past three months in getting these materials cataloged and put on library shelves," said Rachel Zeng, associate director of the Confucius Institute. "Special thanks also go to the Library Dean Joan Giesecke for her full support in prioritizing this cataloging project."
Library faculty and staff members involved with this project are professor Suping Lu, Ted E. Naylor, Erik Putens, Michael Straatmann and others. Donna Koch, supervisor of the Engineering Library, arranged for students to shelve the items at the Confucius Institute Library in W205 Nebraska Hall.
Some 204 items were placed in Love Library as a donation from the Confucius Institute for short-term loan use, Zeng said.
