----------------------------Original message---------------------------- From: NCC (National Coordinating Committee on Japanese Library Resources) JAC Project Depository Library This is a follow-up to NCC's last announcement inviting applications for the depository library. In response to our invitation, we received four applications: one from a research library and three from museum libraries. Each application was evaluated strictly on the basis of the seven criteria announced in the invitation. As a result, we are pleased to announce that the Freer Gallery has been selected to become the JAC Project depository library. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the three other institutions for their well-documented applications which made this selection very competitive. We will keep you informed about further developments on the project. Yasuko Matsudo, chair JAC Project Asia Library University of Michigan Library ([log in to unmask])
