Principle of Universality
Regional universality: material from and about all countries and regions of the world, in the relevant languages for research purposes
Subject universality: publications from all subjects areas
Temporal universality: sources from all periods and times
Universality of media and form: material in all the important forms such as manuscripts, printed works, microfilms, electronic and online publications
Research library and cultural archive for future generations

CrossAsia - Access E-Resources
Matthias Kaun | The Berlin State Library | East Asia Department
Idea:
Better and user friendly access to CJK e-resources
Working platform / space for registered individual users and national and international research groups
Communication platform for research groups
Need:
New IT model for providing access to e-resources (software streaming)
New authentication system (based on Shibboleth)
Space management (WebDAV)
CrossAsia Campus – Virtual Research Environment
Matthias Kaun | The Berlin State Library | East Asia Department
CrossAsia Campus – Virtual Research Environment
Integration of classic services into the virtual platform(like ILL-services)
Access to content (also to content which subject to license and access to own and other digitised collections)
Communication (Central Space Area and communication between researchers, and research groups, set up of the CrossAsia Forum)
Information Management (Technical backbone and infrastructure incl. Authentication and access control)
