Celebrating 10 years of system development at the Digital Information Department of the National Diet Library, Japan

Abstract

The Digital Information Department (DID) of the National Diet Library (NDL), Japan, was established in October 2011 to handle operations related to information systems smoothly and efficiently. Since that time, the DID has undertaken a number of major projects, including a revamping of the mission-critical NDL Business Infrastructure System. On this the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the DID, we look back at the efforts of the DID to improve information systems at the NDL, reflect on the results of these efforts, and consider the future direction of future system development.
