'At a time when East Asian libraries are facing great uncertainty and budgetary crisis, the issues and perspectives raised in this book will lead to a rethinking of East Asian libraries and their role in global interactivity with East Asia systematically. The theoretical model of Glocalism serves as an inspirator and hopefully stimulates further research and discussion.'Susan Xue, Journal of East Asian Libraries, Vol 176
