As digitization and open access have advanced, university bulletins are made more widely available, a process known as “de-greying”. This paper discusses contemporary issues surrounding the collection and preservation of university bulletins in libraries, drawing on the opinions of frontline librarians. It finds that due to limited storage space and budget constraints, university libraries have lowered the priority of these materials. To ensure that bulletins are passed down to future generations, it is critical to identify clearly the extent of the availability of digitized bulletins so that librarians can smoothly decide whether to stop accepting or discard bulletins from other universities, and to engage in inter-university collaboration based on the comprehensive collection and preservation of each university’s bulletins. These efforts should not be carried out solely by libraries; cooperation with bulletin editors and the universities is also necessary.

This paper discusses the career development required for professionals, including the characteristics of those professionals, the types of training that form the basis for knowledge acquisition, and the challenges associated with implementing training. To utilize professional employees and develop their careers, it is necessary to ensure that training methods, participant selection, and outcome evaluations are as fair and equitable as possible. While career development and training tend to emphasize successful examples that have produced spectacular results, attention should also be paid to the costs behind them and cases where no clear results are produced. Managing the outcomes and costs surrounding career development and training is an issue that organizations and individuals must address together.
