A hidden gem of the UW Libraries system, the Tateuchi East Asia Library is located in Gowen Hall on the south end of the Quad. The main entrance and reading room are located on the third floor and are accessible by stair or elevator. This library has over 850,000 volumes in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tibetan and other languages, databases, and research librarians who support East Asian studies. Drop in, or make an appointment with a research librarian here.
Stop in to browse current newspapers and periodicals from China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, find print and online research materials on East Asian studies, or attend one of the many events and exhibits hosted by the Tateuchi East Asia Library.
The recently renovated reading room, with its woodwork, domed ceiling, and leaded glass windows, is a perfect place to get some quiet studying done between classes. In addition, there are individual study carrels, group study spaces (call the library to reserve: 206-543-4490), computers, and scanners.
In addition to the print collection, the Tateuchi East Asia Library offers many online databases, journals, and e-books on East Asian history, culture, languages, political systems, and more. See the East Asia Studies Research Guide for some of these online resources.
