As you recall, the CEAL Logo Committee is charged with soliciting proposals for a new design for the CEAL logo. The Committee has decided to distribute a "Request for Proposals" (RFP) to solicit designs. The RFP is now being sent to several university art and design departments. Anyone can submit a design based on the specifications in the RFP. Please feel free to download and forward the RFP pdf file to anyone who might be interested.

ディレクトリ公開のお知らせ
このたび人間文化研究機構 国文学研究資料館では、北米日本古典籍所蔵機関ディレクトリの公開に向けた準備が整いましたので、二〇一一年一二月下旬を目途に当館のウェブサイトから発信することになりました。ご承知のように、本ディレクトリは、北米を中心とする、日本の古典籍やその他の文化資料を所蔵する大学図書館、美術館などの機関について、コレクションの概要やコンタクト方法などの情報を集約したものです。本ディレクトリの公開によって、今後、各所蔵機関の日本資料コレクションが日本及び世界各国の研究者、学生などによって、さらに有効活用されることが期待されます。
現段階では、英語表記が基本で、日本語は不十分ですが、情報のリニューアルとともに、言語表記の面も追々充実を図って行きたいと思います。また、北米以外では、欧州の参加機関が少数参加しているに過ぎませんが、これも徐々に拡大していければと願っています。どうか今後ともご協力のほど、お願い申し上げます。
最後に、本ディレクトリの公開が、もっぱらこれまで長い間、作成に携わって来られた、東アジア図書館協議会（CEAL）の日本資料委員会の元に組織された日本古典籍小委員会の皆様のご尽力と、各所蔵機関のご協力の賜物であること、またシステムについては、当館の事業部が担当させていただきましたことをお断りし、関係各位には、この場を借りて厚く御礼申し上げます。
