On Thursday, June 8th, UBC Asian Library was thrilled to host presentations highlighting how our users engage with Asian Library’s collections and services for their research. Each presenter discussed their topic of interest and how Asian Library’s resources were relevant to the topic, with time for shared Q&A afterwards. Justin Chun-Yin Cheng presented a summary of his MA in History thesis, “Excavating the Aftermath: The 1906 Hong Kong Typhoon and Its Sources.” Michiko Suzuki presented the Tadoku Program on behalf of the Japanese Language Program’s Tadoku Reading Club committee.

A videorecording of the event was made and please check it out!

This event was held online, with 21 audience members. Saeyong Kim was moderator; Tomoko Kitayama Yen, Phoebe Chow, and Taran Dhillon were planning committee and live support. Shirin Eshghi Furuzawa opened the event and made land acknowledgments.
