Tony Fang The East Asian Library Form/Genre Project started on 1st September 2010.

Project Scope

Add genre/form headings retrospectively to those bibliographical records that were created for the East Asian Library Film (EASF) collection before the Technical Services Department decided to adopt the Library of Congress practice in June 2008. By adding genre/form headings, the EASF project will enhance users' experience and increase the usability of the library catalog.

We've passed the 5,000 record mark this month. Our cumulative total stands at 5,060. Way to go!

Another milestone: I've given out all of the records in the project list!

Our revised project deadline is the end of December, so if you can devote any more time to the project, that would be great!
