Professor Coats wrote a history of the Scripps College’s collection of over 3000 Japanese prints for the North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources (NCC), entitled NCC Japanese Studies Spotlight–The Scripps Collection of Japanese Prints and published online in October 2021.
NCC is collaborating with institutions and scholars to release a monthly series on its blog that showcase exciting online collections available to researchers and students in Japanese Studies, introducing the archive or project, describing their contents, and demonstrating how they can be usefully engaged in research or in the classroom.
