(19 November 2013) The Current Awareness Portal (CA Portal), which is run by the National Diet Library, Japan, now offers an English Interface.
Since its launch in 2006, CA Portal has aggregated a wide variety of news on libraries around the world as well as library and information science. The Portal has published these news in Japanese as a quarterly journal (CA), email magazines (CA-E), and blog articles (CA-R). All of these contents, as well as research conducted and published by the NDL on libraries, are available on this portal site as “current awareness service” for librarians and other information professionals.
Some of the articles are now translated into English and are disseminated through a new English interface.
The first group of English content is the translated version of the email magazine (CA-E) titled “Status of Libraries in the Aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake” (through 25 April, 2013). Currently released are 15 articles. These reports help our understanding on the recovery process of affected libraries after the disaster, as was described in NDL report published in March 2012.
