Welcome to Japanese Cataloger's Forum!

This blog is a forum for discussion, news posting, and information on cataloging Japanese materials in North America. Everyone who works with Japanese materials are welcome to join.

The idea of creating a forum among Japanese catalogers started from conversations about issues on Japanese records at the OCLC CJK User Group. We have our own issues for cataloging; importing vendor records, enhancing records, Romanizations. In addition to theses issues, our environment has been changing rapidly. RDA will be up sometime soon. Metadata will be key in near future. To keep quality

We hope this will be an inforamative place to exchange information and your thoughts.
