Masanori Koizumi, Professor
0 student voices
The Koizumi Lab studies, from the perspectives of management and governance, how libraries operate and provide knowledge, information, technology, and media to citizens. From three levels (national policies and institutions, the management of regions and organizations, and individual information behavior), the lab considers how libraries can solve social issues. Focusing on libraries in the Nordic countries, the United States, and Japan, the lab conducts policy analysis and case analysis. The lab is also interested in collection development and evaluation, which involves assembling library materials and assessing them.
Tetsuya Shirai, Professor
0 student voices
The Shirai Lab specializes in Japanese archival science and studies public records (administrative documents) and historical materials (old documents, or komonjo) managed by local communities. The lab mainly investigates their structure and information, as well as measures for their preservation and use. The lab also conducts research through practical activities, such as preserving documents, records, and materials related to the damage caused by the nuclear power plant accident in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and rescuing public records in Joso City, Ibaraki Prefecture, after the Kanto-Tohoku Heavy Rain flooding.
Kanae Suzuki, Professor
0 student voices
The Suzuki Lab studies how children and adolescents use media and how this affects their development. The subjects are print media such as books, newspapers, and manga, and video and electronic media such as video games, television, and the Internet. The lab examines the effects broadly, from both the academic and the interpersonal and psychological aspects.
Saori Donkai, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Saori Donkai's lab conducts research on "older adults and libraries" and "knowledge and information infrastructure." In the area of older adults and libraries, the lab deals with the Research Group on Super-Aged Society and Libraries, dementia-friendly libraries, and the information-seeking behavior of older adults. In the area of knowledge and information infrastructure, the lab deals with learning commons, learning support, and student assistants.
Maiko Murai, Professor
0 student voices
Professor Maiko Murai's intellectual property law lab studies intellectual property law, centered on copyright law and also including patent law, trademark law, and the Unfair Competition Prevention Act, using the methods of legal scholarship. Because intellectual property law legally prohibits the use of information that would otherwise be free to use, how to strike a balance between protecting and using information is considered important. Through the study of court cases and the interpretation of statutory provisions, the lab examines how the law should be applied to strike that balance, and what a desirable system should look like. The lab has also published papers on copyright law as it relates to the use of copyrighted works in libraries.
Yuko Yoshida, Professor
0 student voices
The Public Library Studies Lab studies the significance of public libraries in local communities, focusing mainly on public libraries in Northern Europe. How American public libraries have developed over the course of history is also one of its research topics. To view libraries from diverse perspectives, the lab also takes into account issues such as cultural diversity, autonomous learning, and reading communities. In the graduate school's faculty list, library history and lifelong learning are also given as research themes.
Atsushi Ikeuchi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Public Library Policy Lab studies, from a variety of perspectives, how many public libraries, which are established and operated with tax money, society should ideally have. The lab also considers methods for evaluating libraries. It also surveys how the volume, structure, and content of the web change over time. The lab also conducts research that measures the value public libraries bring to their communities, using methods such as cost-benefit analysis.
BARYSHEV Eduard, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Eduard Baryshev studies the Russian emigre communities that dispersed around the world after the Russian Revolution, and the fate of the records (archives) they left behind. Its research spans library and information science, humanities and social science informatics, international relations, and history in general. Using the concept of "displaced archives" as a guide, the lab has examined the phenomenon in which records are moved across national borders and scattered. In recent years, the lab has also presented at academic conferences on the organization and activities of the Russian Historical Archive Abroad (RZIA) in Prague, and on the foreign relations of Russia during the Civil War and Japan.
Koji Murata, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Archival Science Lab, led by Associate Professor Koji Murata, studies how document archives in ancient and medieval Europe and West Asia were formed and transmitted. Building on the methods of history and diplomatics, the lab examines, using a wide range of historical sources, the process by which past memories and information were selected and discarded, and what that meant in the society of the time. The lab also considers methods and practices for presenting the memory and information of the past that has come down to the present to future generations in better form. The lab also conducts research on the Byzantine Empire.
Ichiro Ohba, Lecturer
0 student voices
Lecturer Ichiro Ohba's lab studies how library information services (reference services) should work, and what kind of people should provide them. The lab mainly focuses on public libraries, school libraries, and university libraries. For graduation research, students start from their own concerns and areas of interest and study topics such as library services, reading activities, and the training of library staff.
