V·T·E·

The bibliography task force of WikiProject Japan seeks to develop a comprehensive group of articles describing Japanese bibliographical resources, including reference works, libraries, and research institutions. Many of the resources are in the Japanese language, but we hope that even those who do not read Japanese can learn from the descriptions of the resources.

This project was launched in fall 2005 by members of the "Japanese Bibliography" seminar at Columbia University. We hope that others will join in to help expand and improve the articles that constitute the project.
