Gosling reports on the work of the Asian Collections section of the National Library of Australia. The section collects 'historical and contemporary writings by Asians' about Australia as well as 'a fascinating range of Australian serious and popular works in Asian language translations.' The latter group includes a range of Australian children's books in addition to adult novels and the work of Asian-Australian authors such as Ouyang Yu.
Gosling also notes projects that the National Library is leading which should enable the Asian Collections to be more accessible to the Library's users, scholars and the public at large.
