Regan Murphy Kao
Director, East Asia Library, East Asia Library
Current Role at StanfordAs the Director of the East Asia Library, I oversee all aspects of the library, including access services, collection development and technical services for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English-language materials on East Asia. As the Head of the Special Collections at the East Asia Library, I facilitate collection building, preservation, and use of the rare and unique materials in Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. As Japanese Studies Librarian, I manage Japanese language materials and provide specialized research assistance for all aspects of Japanese studies. As a liaison to East Asian Studies faculty, students and community members, I consult with and respond to their teaching and research needs. I serve as co-chair of the Comprehensive Digitization and Discoverability task force, which aims to bring to light and make more accessible cutting edge technologies for Japanese studies. Before coming to Stanford, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at U.C. Berkeley and received a PhD from Harvard with research focused on debates over the intersection of language, history and ritual in 18th century Japan. My love of libraries began during a formative year working at Starr East Asia Library in New York City soon after graduating from Columbia with a B.A. in East Asian Studies.
