Digital Information Department We also newly established the Digital Information Department in step with the increasingly vital role information system plays in the operation of the library; it will play a pivotal role in our efforts to construct an advanced digital library and to develop the "national knowledge infrastructure" which will include the Digital Archive of the Great East Japan Earthquake. 2 2

4 The NDL updates its services in January 2012 The system we have been using to manage library operation and search is nearly a decade old, and its concept itself has become obsolete. Thus, from the beginning of this year, it was completely replaced. We aim at the following. 1- Further utilization of the digital information 2- Unified use of the various materials and services of the NDL 3- Integrated access to the external information and services 4 4

13 Building a Digital Archive of the Great East Japan Earthquake Now we can see vast amounts of records about the Great East Japan Earthquake in newspapers, magazines, on TV and the Internet. However those records will be lost, unless someone collects and preserves them. It will be necessary to build a digital archive of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The NDL tries to establish a portal to cross-search and retrieve records of the Great East Japan Earthquake in cooperation with Japanese government ministries. We aim at the following: 1- Establishing a Portal 2- Web Archiving Long-term Preservation 13

14 Building a Digital Archive of the Great East Japan Earthquake Integrated access Portal to Digital Archive of the Great East Japan Earthquake Retrieving any records by time, disaster area, disaster type and getting search results graphically Retrieve Digital Archive System NDL digital storage Collaboration Partial collecting Results of Governments tasks based on basic reconstruction plan Cross-search Contents many organizations hold independently Organizations Preservation Adding metadata Partial collecting Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Building an archival infrastructure Coordination of collecting and preserving records of local governments, fire and disaster management agencies, websites and broadcasting NPO Local Gov.

15 Building a Digital Archive of the Great East Japan Earthquake The NDL can harvest and archive a wide array of government websites, including the websites of local governments affected by the disaster in Eastern Japan without permission under the current NDL Law. The NDL preserves records and cultural heritage of the experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake to pass on to future generations. The NDL is also collaborates with Internet Archive, a non-profit organization on digital library, and the Edwin O. Reischauer Institute at Harvard University. We already have a basic collection concerning the Great East Japan Earthquake
