Digital collection strategies at the National Diet Library

---

Abstract:
The National Diet Library (NDL) has so far formulated “National Diet Library Electronic Library Concept” (1) and “National Diet Library Digital Library Medium Term Plan for 2004” (2), and constructed digital collections by such means as digitization of its holdings and web archiving. The NDL started to provide the digital contents converted from its holdings with the “Digital Exhibition” (3) in 1998. Copyright-cleared books published in and after the Meiji era (1868-1912) have been provided on the “Digital Library from the Meiji Era” (4) since 2002. Digitization in the NDL has been promoted, mainly owing to two factors: first, the Copyright Act was revised in 2009 to enable the NDL to digitize even holdings within copyright protection
period for the purpose of preservation and to provide them in digital form within the NDL facilities; and second, a large budget was allocated for digitization in the supplementary budget of FY 2009. Now, more than two million items of digitized contents (5) are available. In November 2002, the NDL started archiving Internet information resources based on permission from each site owner. In July 2009, the National Diet Library Act was amended to enable the NDL to collect and archive without permission the Internet information resources provided to the general public by public institutions. So far, the NDL has collected (6) and
provided more than 50,000 websites in the Web Archiving Project (WARP). The NDL has also been working on the construction of the NDL Great East Japan Earthquake Archive, aiming to actively collect and preserve records on the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011; the disaster-afflicted areas as they were before the earthquake, and their recovery process; and earthquakes, tsunamis and accidents of atomic power plants in the past. On June 15, 2012, the Act for Partial Revision of the National Diet Library Act was enacted (7),
enabling the NDL to collect online materials (digital books and journals provided on the Internet etc.) In accordance with the amendment, the NDL will start collecting online materials provided free of charge and not protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) from July 2013 as the first step.
To ensure solid operation of the above-mentioned projects, the NDL drew up “Mission and Objectives 2012-2016” (8) and “Strategic Objectives” in FY2012. I would like to introduce several items related to strategies for digital collections from those macro strategic documents.
