Because it is a multidisciplinary area of study, East Asian Studies books are not all shelved together in the library. Books are categorized by broad topic area, such as history, literature, politics, and science; thus, books regarding Asia may be found in many places throughout the library. Once you find a useful book, scan the shelves immediately before and after it for related materials.
