Abstract
In 1998, the staff of the Center for Scholarly Technology (CST) in the Information Services Division (ISD) at the University of Southern California (USC) was approached for assistance with a database/digital library project. Generally, the role of the Center is to assist with curricular technology projects. Although the project described below is somewhat outside the normal scope for the Center, the scholarly nature of the project was taken into account in granting assistance to it. The impetus for the project came from Jeanette Paulson Hereniko, Director of the Asia Pacific Media Center at the Annenberg Center for Communication and Founding Director of the Hawaii International Film Festival. Ms. Paulson organized a conference in Los Angeles in May of 1998 attended by members of NETPAC, the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema, a pan-Asian cultural organization involving critics, filmmakers, festival organizers and curators, distributors and exhibitors, and film educators. At the conference, a plan for the creation of a scholarly, multilingual digital library about film in Asia was first presented.
