Haruki Ono, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Ono Lab is a library and information science lab that works with schools to study the learning media and inquiry-based learning that junior high and high school students use in their studies. Inquiry-based learning has become more advanced, and students are expected to learn by making full use of a wide variety of media, but everyone feels anxious at first. Working with schools, the lab identifies the basic data and elemental technologies needed so that students can produce inquiry results with confidence. Undergraduate students are assigned to the lab in December of their third year for a pre-seminar.

Currently the lab is interested in super-aged societies, and analyzes information behavior in light of the cognitive and behavioral characteristics of older adults. It also works on identifying latent needs toward public libraries and on practicing and evaluating services for older adults.

The lab of Assistant Professor Atsuyuki Hara studies libraries in modern and contemporary Britain and Germany. It investigates how public libraries came into being in 19th-century Britain, where publishing flourished and the number of readers grew after the Industrial Revolution.
