consultation with the
Center for South Asian Studies, the division
of
Asian and Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures, and the Tibetan
program in the
Religious Studies department. He organizes and
conducts reference sessions and provides blibliographic and
electronic instruction. Materials are mainly acquired through the
Library of Congress offices (the old PL 480 program) in Cairo
(Egypt), Islamabad (Pakistan), and Delhi (India) on their approval
plans with the University of Virginia profiles. Over the past 30
years, the University of Virginia has selected, acquired, and built
one of the outstanding
Tibetan collections, along with substantial
South Asia,
and
Middle East research materials.
