Japanese bibliographic information—its control and standardisation
Abstract
The importance of bibliographic information as a societal tool in the future is stressed. A definition of and the necessity for bibliographic utilities are presented. After illustrating some operating bibliographic utilities in North America, the history and present situation of bibliographic control in Japan are introduced. Bibliographic activities and library automation at the National Diet Library (NDL) and other libraries in Japan are described. Finally, a developing plan for the establishment of Japanese bibliographic utilities is proposed.
