In the common pursuit of Asia knowledge and its dissemination, this second installment of roundtable discussions started at the 2016 ASAA Conference aims to bring together the users of Asia-related research material and those who seek to provide them. Whilst undoubtedly the field of study 'Asian Studies' is changing, so is the library world. Questions need to be raised on the implications of these changes. In this roundtable discussion, we invite researchers, scholars, lecturers, teachers, students and librarians to bring to the table issues and challenges on and around the topic of research resources: the gradual decline in library subject specialisations, the changing concept of the 'library' and its consequential impact on Asian Studies, the need for vernacular material or not, current trans-Asia and interdisciplinary research directions that depend less on Asian-language resources, new library initiatives to promote special Asian collections, and equitable access to Asia-related resources.
