The event was held on December 4, 2012. Around 120 people participated.

Due to promotions, developments, and widespread recognition of Open Access (OA), the operations and the roles of libraries/librarians should be changed today. Looking back on the activities and considering the future of OA, we would like to look for the options and appropriate responses. From various aspects, we will consider the conceivable changes and influences on their operations such as journal contracts, institutional repositories, reference services, ILL and so on. This seminar will include the basic information of OA, so it is easy to understand for everyone. We welcome contributions from all the participants. Interpreter services will be provided.

From July 2008 to 2011, he was involved in reference services at Hitotsubashi University Library, and since April 2012, he deals with subscription of periodicals and e-resources.

Driven by the spiraling costs of journal subscriptions and the requirement to maximize the dissemination of research, Open Access is now well established as a viable model for the publication of research results. This talk will chart the progress of Open Access over the past decade and discuss what life may be like by 2020 if, as seems increasingly likely, OA has replaced subscriptions as the model of choice for the publication of journals.

According to the dissemination of E-journals and improvement of the Internet access environment, I will report on what part libraries have played. In addition, I wish to consider how OA and the development of electronic information in academic field let them change, their organization, roles, social responsibility and so on.
