Abstract：The purpose of this paper is to discuss the feature, importance, and cataloging of Early Japanese books, and effective utilization of image data. In recent years, cataloging rules for Early Japanese books were published successively. These materials which are many different styles of printed books and manuscripts are an important cultural heritage of Japan, and preserved in large quantities. However, a whole picture is not clear. So construction of union catalog for Early Japanese books is a significant project. In order to construct an effective catalog, I propose the exchanging link with image data and bibliographic description. By making image data a part of catalog, the information service to a user will become effective.

Abstract：The Theatre Museum of Waseda University owns the censored theatrical scripts in Kyushu area during the Occupation. These scripts are useful because they demonstrate the local theatrical culture in the postwar period. They were transported to the United States for the purpose of researches and sent back to Japan in the '80s. In this article, we call the scripts "Dizer Collection" after the way in which the scripts were left. We first clarify a historical background of the Dizer Collection compared with the Prange Collection, and trace the process in which the collection was formed. Secondly, I discuss our working of the re-organization for the censored scripts. We collated them with catalog records, and new information was gathered. In addition, we digitalized the scripts. The value of scripts for researches is examined from the viewpoint of group composition by catalog information. We also mention the present status of shelving and utilization of collection.

Abstract：Establishment of a book collection system at Hitotsubashi University is deeply associated with the history of the university. Library's operation procedures ranging from the accession of books to arrangement have been managed not only by the library staff, but also through cooperation of many involved persons including teaching staff and alumni/alumnae. In the initial stages, teachers and scholars who had studied abroad and introduced a discipline called social science into Japan much contributed to the library development. Then, this paper outlines the progress of establishment of the book collection system from the viewpoint of an outsider, while introducing various references including the history of the university and the topics on organizing the faculty.
