The East Asian Collection at Oberlin College Library is one of the finest collections of East Asian materials among small to mid-sized East Asian collections and liberal arts college libraries in the U.S.

It contains over 53,000 volumes of books and bound periodicals on East Asian subjects in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English languages.  In addition to print materials, it also provides access to several Chinese and Japanese language databases.  The Collection actively supports the teaching and research needs of East Asian Studies and the interdisciplinary programs on campus and among OhioLINK institutions.

East Asian literature monographs are shelved on the 3rd floor of Mudd in East Asian Literature Room (map). Books on other subjects are shelved with the main collection.
