Benedicte Héraud
Introduction to the Sinological Serials in European Libraries Project

Since the first of January 1996, the EACS project of creating an European sinological serials catalogue in the shape of an up-dateable on-line database has officialy begun. It is called Sinologist Serials in European Libraries Project (SSELP).

For three months now, Graduate of The Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales in Paris and of The Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Sciences de l’Information et des Bibliothèques-Lyon 3, I am in charge of co-ordinating and representing this project in Europe. I have already taken part in the publication of the Catalogue des ouvrages de l’Institut Franco- chinois de Lyon sponsored by the Chiang-Ching Kuo fundation . I feel very enthusiastic for this project and I participate actively to make a success of it.

As a sinologist and as a documentalist I am aware of the importance of the information contained in the serials for Sinological research on both. premodern and modern China. The informations and ressources contained in these serials can become useful only once they are localized and accessible. While serails holdings in many individual libraries are often fragmentary so that scholars tend to feel that they have to go to the US and East Asia to collect the secondary literature they need, the European holdings collectively are quite good with many rare issues hidden in unexpected places. SSELP wants to offer a solution to the very simple question: where can the serial or the article about China I need be found in Europe?

Supported by the Chiang-Ching Kuo Fundation we will develop an on- line bibliographical database of Sinological serials with indications of local holdings, available via Internet and/or WWW. The cooperating libraries will update this holdings so that it becomes a “dynamic” database.

The first step in the elaboration of this database is to collect and integrate the already digitalised catalogues of such Serials. I have to specify that this does not only the Serials in Chinese but also the periodicals in every oriental and occidental language concerning China and the Chinese world.

These data will be first converted, if necessary, into the UNIMARC format wich had to be choosen because of its primary purpose: to facilitate the international exchange of bibliographic data in machine-readable form. The bibliographical file manager ALLEGRO has been choosen because of its capacity to accept import data and it will be completed with the UNICODE multilingual software.

By the end of March 1996 the SSELP already has recieved digitalized data The Institut des Hautes-Etudes Chinoises in Paris, The Bodleian Library in Oxford and the Sinologisches Seminar in Heidelberg and the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (State Library) Berlin. Institutional support is provided from the Heidelberg Institute where I cooperate with the EACS general secretary, Rudolf Wagner, and the librarian of the institute, Thomas Hahn, who has been instrumental in securing the support of the European Association of Sinological Librarians for the project. I have to thank sincerely all the people who make that possible and I have to insist on the fact that this project is on the mercy of each director, each professor, each librarian or documentalist, each students etc.

As soon as possible this database has to be available on the Net trough the UNIX operating system. Institutions will be able to use the database in three functions:

• To locate Sinological periodicals in Europe.
• To access their own holdings through the local holdings file.
• To quickly and effectively catalogue new items in the mask already established in the file.

SSELP wants to be a project for all the people working in the Oriental research environment and due to its low budget it cannot work without the co-operation between Institutions nor without the help of the scholarly community.

EACS Conference
BARCELONA PANEL PROPOSAL

GOING TO BARCELONA for the EACS conference?
CONCERNED ABOUT FIELDWORK in China?

READ ON…..

Studies looking at Chinese society from a bottom-up perspective have developed along with the improved possibilities of staying in both Chinese urban and rural areas for longer periods of time. But how far have we come? How much do local studies actually tell us about Chinese society? One way of clarifying these issues is to sum up the experiences of European research in this field, and maybe also to coordinate future field research in China. We think that the Barcelona conference offers a good opportunity to convene people engaged in such studies. We suggest two ways.

• Setting up a panel on field work. As opposed to the generalist approach to Chinese culture and society, this panel will focus on local area studies in order to trace ideological and structural changes in contemporary Chinese society. The panel invites anthropologists, historians, sociologists, economists, demographers and others conducting field work in urban and rural areas to contribute papers in fields such as ideological and political change, labour relations, privatization, leadership, elite formation, migration, education and training, religious revival and other issues relevant to the transformation of local areas. Thus the panel will focus on specific changes in the structure and composition of local areas, including the changing outlook and strategies of their inhabitants as well as on methodological issues involved in the local area approach.
• Getting together one evening during the conference for Spanish wine and an exchange of ideas on how to promote European studies of Chinese local areas. One point could be to examine the possibilities for funding of joint European research network activities.

If these ideas appeal to you, please respond immediately to Stig Thørgersen. You may either present a paper in the panel outlined above or you may just join the evening meeting. Or maybe you just want some more information on our plans and projects? Contact:

Révue bibliographique de sinologie

1995 / XIII, issn: 0080-2484, FF250, editors Michel Cartier, Danielle Elisseeff, Jacqueline Nivard.
The RBS aims to illustrate the most recent trends in the various fields of history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, religions and the history of sciences with the double purpose of helping scholars to keep in touch with fields less familiar to them and providing research students with a broad view of current academic trends.

The editors’ main concern is to introduce the latest works published in Chinese as well as in the major languages of the scientific community either in book form or as articles. In the present issue 380 new books are analyzed as well as 300 articles selected from 121 periodicals.

A significant part of each issue is now devoted to a number of bibliographic surveys exploring new topics and introducing books and articles which were formerly omitted. A selection of these include:

• `The republication of traditional school books in the PRC: revival of confucianist morality or political trick?’ by Christine Nguyen Tri
• `The kiba minzuku come back’ by Michel Cartier
• `Chinese in Peru, 1877-1994′ by Isabelle Lausent-Herrera
• `Jewish refugees from central Europe in Shanghai, 1939-1949′ by Françoise Kreissler
• `The tenth anniversary of the Shaanxi Numismatic Society’ by François Thierry
