Send A Message to Librarians in Japan

Dear all,

The group “Savelibrary” in Japan has been set up to share information among librarians in Japan concerning the recent disaster.  The wiki is titled "世界からのメッセージ－私たちは一人ではない" [We are not alone – messages from the World], and can be found here:
Savelibrary Wiki
http://www45.atwiki.jp/savelibrary/pages/41.html

Note that contributions to the Savelibrary Wiki are not accepted from outside Japan. However, If you would like to send a message to our colleagues in Japan, please email your message to arg.editor@gmail.com.  There are volunteers to translate your English message, so please do not worry about that.

Thank you very much,
Hiro

Libguide on Earthquake and Tsunami

I created a libguide on Saturday as I was trying to watch the NHK news and keep up with email inquiries about how to get information. This isn’t a beautiful guide or one that was finely crafted over weeks, but if it is helpful to you and/or your students please feel free to link to it.

Condolences to Colleagues in Japan

Dear Japanese colleagues,

It is heartbreaking and devastating to see the disaster scenes from Japan. On behalf of CEAL members, I convey our collective condolences to the colleagues in Japan and those in the US. Many of you have relatives in Japan who may have been affected. We wish you all safety and speedy recovery.

Our condolences, best warm wishes, and prayers go to the library community in Japan, including CEAL members and vendors. Please advise us if there is anything CEAL can do to help.
