Concept of Web Representation of information on collections and services of the Oriental Center of the Russian State Library

Essence:

The aim of this project is to facilitate as far as possible the worldwide provision of access to information on Oriental collections available at the Oriental Center of the Russian State Library.

This project will enable us to provide easy, fast and unlimited access to the above mentioned data in a variety of formats and in a number of Asian and African languages. This will turn the library into a digital storage (warehouse) and help us enter the modern information society.

Designation:

The information to be provided is intended primarily for Oriental scholars and those who are interested in Asian and African matters.
