The
KU
Online Catalog ("OCAT" for short) contains approximately
85% of East Asian collection. East Asian materials
not in the online catalog (some Dewey collection and brief list collection)
have been under retrospective conversion process and will be made available
online by the end of 2008. KU OCAT has been displaying CJK characters since 2000.

The above
information by the Library of Congres is useful for our users
since the LOC and KU both use the same library system (Voyager).
