The Resource Center for the History of Entrepreneurship is involved with the North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources, sitting on the Image Use Protocol Task Force, hosting the 2008 Tokyo Conference and compiling a record of the conference, producing the Image Use Guide, and presenting at workshops throughout Europe and North America.
The North American Coordinating Council on Japanese Library Resources (NCC) was established in 1991 as an independent nonprofit educational organization with the goal of supporting Japanese studies in North America.
The NCC works to ensure smooth communication and increase mutual understanding between those who produce and provide information and materials, and individuals and organizations who use the information and materials. This is done not only for current users, but also future users, to ensure comprehensive access to research materials on Japan in all academic fields with an emphasis on the humanities and social sciences.
To that end, the NCC is involved in a number of initiatives, including: 1) encouraging cooperative use of research materials on Japan; 2) procuring and applying funds for cooperative collections development; 3) organizing specialized training sessions for librarians and scholars; and 4) building a close collaborative relationship between libraries/information providers, academics, and aid organizations in Japan and the United States. Within the NCC there are a number of committees that actively work in areas such as access improvement, cooperative collections development, and education/training.
 The Image Use Protocol Task Force (IUP Task Force) is one of the NCC’s committees for access improvement. The Task Force has compiled a guide on how to obtain permission for educational or scholarly use of Japanese images. Detailed information on activities can be found on the Task Force’s website.
