Recent acquisitions by the ASU Library system:
Arizona State University houses a number of research collections of Asian cultural artifacts, objects of art and library library materials.

Asia Mediated is a transdisciplinary project that investigates the multiple ways that new digital media is restructuring different aspects of society and ultimately shaping the way in which knowledge is constructed and produced. This reshaping of knowledge production is significantly transforming our world, and more than half the users of the internet and social media sites such as Facebook are in Asia. The project specifically studies those new media technologies operating in Asia and uses them to disseminate knowledge about the use of these technologies.
The monographs listed below are available for purchase through Zubal Books on Amazon.com. Each title is linked to the webpage on Amazon for the publication. If you have any further questions, please contact us.
