    In Japan we use so many kanji variants to describe the names of people and the names of places. Since proper nouns are out of the scope of Joyo-Kanji (daily use kanji characters in Japan), the kanji glyphs used in Jinmei-yo-Kanji (kanji for children’s names in Japan) are different from the kanji glyphs used in the names of places. Unicode is less powerful to express such kanji variants since Unicode was built under the concept of “CJKV Han Unification”. In this paper we study about Adobe-Japan1-6, a character code which was developed by Adobe Systems, Inc. for Japanese market, especially for handling kanji variants in Japan.

Next, to seek, gather and register contents continuously in place of the faculties. Finally, to utilize the IR as the rich stock behind the “show window” of the university's outcomes. In this report, such practical strategies for IR operation are described based on experiences from Chiba University’s IR project (CURATOR).

    There are two approaches towards archiving electronic journals: centralized and distributed. This article examines them from the viewpoint of access to the archived content. In the centralized approach, access has been limited so far. However, it is possible to imagine providing content in the archive for the terminated subscribers or the institutions in developing countries. Projects such as NESLi2 and HINARI (The Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative) give hint on them. On the other hand, the distributed approach by LOCKSS arranges two kinds of access: audit between LOCKSS appliances and access from readers in the event of unavailability of publisher’s website. To judge the appropriateness of LOCKSS model, it is necessary to analyze its cost as a whole.

However, the possibility exists for unintended negative effects to occur if improper connections are made, including virus infections, distribution of private data, and lost files.
