Abstract
The successful development of computer technology for automating Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CIK) vernacular scripts and the completion of the RLIN CJK system in 1983 marked the beginning of online operations of East Asian libraries in North America and helped keep them in the mainstream of library automation. The RLIN CIK system and the subsequently developed OCLC CJK system are building CJK bibliographic databases which have made East Asian cooperative cataloging and resources sharing a true reality. The emergence, features, current conditions, and future plans of the two CJK systems are discussed. So are the automated programs of national libraries in East Asia in terms of their building national databases for vernacular materials and designing and producing national MARCs for exchange of bibliographic information among libraries. The outlook of cooperation between the CJK systems and international exchange of CJK bibliographic information is also examined.
