See CJK in CLIO
NEW YORK, December 9, 2004 At the start of the fall semester 2004, you may have noticed Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) language clusters on CLIO records for our holdings. This is a service Voyager, our new integrated library system, has begun to develop. Here’s a sample CLIO display:
