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.

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

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.
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.
Akie Kobaru, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Akie Kobaru's lab takes a sociological approach to studying how educational knowledge in high schools is created. Until now, the lab has analyzed curriculum policy and textbooks for the high school civics subject "Contemporary Society" and studied how curricula have changed to place more emphasis on developing thinking skills. Currently, the lab conducts observational studies of inquiry-based learning in high schools and interviews with teachers to study how curriculum policy is put into practice.
Koya Takara, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Koya Takara's lab studies information law and information criminal law, focusing on information protection and cybercrime countermeasures. As information and communication technology advances, new problems are emerging: information is being used in more varied ways, the need to protect information is growing, and crime is becoming global. The lab aims both to propose solutions to these social problems based on legal theory and to build legal theory that underpins the social implementation of new technologies.
Masaki Takeda, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Assistant Professor Masaki Takeda aims to create a universal information environment that anyone can use, and studies how the way information is presented affects people's choice of information sources. The lab analyzes human cognition, psychology, and behavior quantitatively, and models and evaluates them. 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.
