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.

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.
