Specialised Information Service Asia (FID Asia) – Chinese language and culture region, Japan, Korea, Central Asia (Mongolia and Central Asian regions in the People's Republic of China), Southeast Asia

该项目旨在--与研究界和其他提供信息和研究支持的机构密切协商--扩大信息服务范围，并使其可靠运作，满足德国亚洲研究界的具体需要。它将加强亚洲(中国语言和文化地区、日本、韩国、蒙古和中国中亚地区、东南亚)的跨学科信息基础设施，从而超越共同的面向区域的信息供应。所有服务都通过CrosAsia(https://crossasia.org)，)提供，这是由柏林国家图书馆运营的亚洲专业信息服务(FID Asia)的门户网站。FID Asia认为自己是一个涵盖人文科学、文化研究和社会科学所有分学科的服务结构，并承认跨区域研究的需要，向大学和其他科学机构的研究人员和与研究有关的教学提供服务。FID的目标群体是所有学科的学者，他们在该地区的人文、文化研究、社会科学和其他领域工作。所有服务的基础是明确的馆藏发展政策，该政策考虑到当前的研究主题，重点是开放获取出版物。用户友好的搜索和检索系统的维护和进一步开发保证了对材料的快速和直接检索(无论出版形式如何)。该项目的一个主要部分将是巩固FID亚洲作为德国亚洲研究社区的服务基础设施。这一基础设施在信息和文献供应领域特别明显，在卫星项目方面也是如此，在研究数据和开放获取出版物领域也是如此。基础设施也将为数字人文提供更好、更有针对性的支持。作为FID南亚的服务合作伙伴，FID Asia将通过Cross Asia平台提供和运营中央服务。此外，柏林国际机场还在FID项目之间建立了一个协调小组，提供与亚洲有关的服务，并将继续以积极和支持的方式发展FID-Network Asia。

The project aims – in close consultation with the research community and other institutions that provide information and research support – at the expansion and reliable operation of an information service catering the specific needs of the German Asian Studies community. It will strengthen the interdisciplinary information infrastructure on Asia (Chinese language and culture region, Japan, Korea, Mongolia and Central Asian regions of China, Southeast Asia) and thereby reach beyond a common region-oriented supply of information. All services are offered through CrossAsia (https://crossasia.org), the portal of the Specialised Information Service Asia (FID Asia) that is operated by Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (SBB). The services of the FID Asia, which perceives itself as a service structure covering all sub-disciplines of the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences and which also acknowledges the needs of trans-regional studies, are available to researchers and research-related teaching at universities and other scientific institutions. The FID’s target group are scholars of all disciplines who work on the region in the field of humanities, cultural studies, social sciences and beyond. The basis of all services is a clear-cut collection development policy that takes into account current research topics with a focus on open access publications. The maintenance and further development of user-friendly search and access systems guarantees fast and direct access to the materials (regardless of the publication form). A major part of the project will be the consolidation of the FID Asia as a service infrastructure for the German Asian Studies community. This infrastructure becomes particularly apparent in the area of information and literature supply, in the context of satellite projects, but also in the areas of research data and open access publications. The infrastructure will also provide a better and more focused support for the digital humanities. As a service partner to, among others, the FID South Asia the FID Asia will provide and operate central services via the CrossAsia platform. Furthermore, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin has initiated a coordinating group amongst the FID projects that also offer services relating to Asia and it will continue to develop the FID-Network Asia actively and in a supportive manner.
