Many faculty members who teach established Asian studies courses, as well as courses on special topics related to Asian studies, will find the Bibliography of Asian Studies resource a necessary addition to Loyola’s collection.
From 1941 to 1991 the Bibliography of Asian Studies was widely recognized as the standard bibliographical tool in the field of Asian studies. However, the process of compiling and printing these increasingly bulky volumes led to delays in appearance of the annual editions. The Board of Directors of the Association for Asian Studies took the innovative steps to convert the BAS to an electronic database, incorporating all entries from the print volumes for the years 1971 to 1991 and entering all fresh citations from 1991 forward in electronic form.
