Siku Quanshu (四庫全書, SKQS) Available Now Through the Internet Archive
The Chinese book project Siku Quanshu (The Complete Library of Four Treasures, 四庫全書) has been deemed as an essential resource for Chinese humanity studies. Initiated by Emperor Qianlong in the late 18th century, the project aimed to collect the most comprehensive information representing the major categories of traditional Chinese knowledge.
The East Asian Library has acquired the ebook database of the Wenyuan Ge copy of Siku Quanshu (文淵閣四庫全書).
In the mean time, we also want to call users' attention to an alternative source for the same set of Wenyuan Ge Siku Quanshu through the Internet Archive (IA), a free and openly accessible digital library project. For the SKQS ebook list in IA, please check the links below:
While SKQS is available through the Internet Archive, it cannot replace the UofT SKQS database because the IA version has NOT acquired the fulltext keyword search functionality, which is available in the UofT database. But for non-UofT users, the SKQS collection in the Internet Archive will be of great value.
For more information about the IA SKQS or the UofT SKQS database, please contact Stephen Qiao (stephen.qiao@utoronto.ca) or Lucy Gan (lucy.gan@utoronto.ca).

Directory of Open Access Repositories
The East Asian Library wants to call your attention to the Directory of Open Access Repositories, or OpenDOAR, an authoritative online directory of academic open access repositories.
An institutional digital repository helps to capture, manage, preserve and disseminate the intellectual output created by community members of the host institution. The T-Space, for example, is the multidisciplinary digital repository of the University of Toronto, which "showcases and preserves the scholarly work of U of T faculty". In recent years, as universities and research institutions worldwide invest great efforts in pulling their scholarly works into digital repositories, insititutional/university repositories are quickly arising as an important new model of scholarly communication.
OpenDOAR is a portal of "an authoritative directory of academic open access repositories". It has browse and search functions that allow users to quickly identify specific repositories.
In addition, its 'Search Repository Contents' option makes available a federated search tool by which users can conduct keyword searches at the document level across different repositories.

Asianadian: an Asian Canadian Magazine
Asianadian began publication in the late 1970s and was the first magazine of its time to deal with the social, racial, and cultural issues of Asian Canadians.
According to the magazine blog, publication of the magazine is currently "financially unstable". Contents of some of its back issues are accessible through an Asianadian website affiliated with the University of Washington.

Open Access Publication
Prof. Leslie Chan (UofT Scarborough), supervisor for the New Media Studies program at the University of Toronto at Scarborough, publishes an article 'Open Access: Promises and Challenges of Scholarship in the Digital Age' in the latest issue of Academic Matters.
In this article, Leslie discusses the background of OA, its implications for universities, academics and libraries, and what actions to take to strengthen OA initiatives. The article also contains practical suggestions for scholars such as the following:
"The Directory of Open Access Repositories lists over 1,300 repositories worldwide, including 44 in Canada, and the number grows at the rate of about 1 new repository a day.[16] Self-archiving is possible because over 60 per cent of traditional publishers already allow authors to post copies of the peer-reviewed final version of their papers to institutional repositories or on their personal web sites[17] If the self-archiving right is not explicit, authors can request permission to do so. However, it is better to know your rights before you submit your paper. The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recently published an advisory[18] as well as an author addendum[19] that can be used as part of an agreement with publishers to ensure the right to self-archive. "
For scholars who are interested in pursuing OA, Leslie suggested the 'Green Road' (author self-archiving) and the 'Golden Road' (articles published in OA journals).
UofT has set up the T-Space to be used as a self-archiving repository that "showcases and preserves the scholarly work of UofT faculty".
If you need more information about OA resources, use the two online directories to get more inforamtion: the Directory of Open Access Journals, and the Directory of Open Access Repositories. Besides, the Unversity of Cambridge Library compiles an online inforamtion guide for Open Access publishing, which contains discussion of related issues and other useful resources.
