Asian Studies Collection
The Asian Studies Center, housed within the Leslie Hardinge Library, is a growing specialized collection dedicated to becoming the premier resource center for Asian Studies. It aims to support scholarly activities at AIIAS, the global church, and other institutions. The center offers research and reading materials that explore the religious, educational, financial, health, cultural, political, and national dimensions of the countries and peoples of Asia.
The Asian Studies Center is located on the 3rd floor of the Leslie Hardinge Library. Its entire collection is accessible through the library’s online catalog.
The library also collaborates with local and international library associations and consortia, maintaining Inter-library Loan agreements with institutions worldwide. These partnerships enable access to hard-to-find resources, further enriching the library’s offerings for its patrons.
