| University Librarian
to Study Libraries Throughout Asia
July 21, 2005 :: No. 7
To better understand the research needs of
international students, as well as equip Cal State Fullerton
students studying abroad, librarian John Hickok is embarking
on a yearlong sabbatical to visit universities throughout
Asia to assess their libraries. His agenda includes a review
of conditions, services and holdings.
The Northridge resident departs July 28 for
Indonesia, where he will spend the month of August. The remainder
of his itinerary is as follows: Philippines in September;
Singapore and Malaysia, October; Thailand, November; Myanmar
and Laos, December; Cambodia, January; Vietnam, February;
China, March; Mongolia, April; Korea, May; Japan, June; and
Taiwan, July.
Among Hickok’s projects when he returns
will be: a booklet that would provide students planning to
study abroad with photos and such information as what kind
of services to expect and whether they’re free; specialized
workshops for exchange students on the features and expectations
of American libraries; and a comparative analysis of U.S.
and Asian libraries.
