Yes, Library and Archival Students and Professionals, and to all those who are fond of manga. There is a plan to have a Manga Library in Japan at Meiji University. The opening is suppose to be early 2015 and will "be available to researchers and fans from Japan and abroad." Of course, as an archival and preservation student, I have a few questions. However, it is too early to ask, more like 6 years too early. I will wait to see what the University will present in regards to their protocols, research, conservation and preservation standards, and all the good stuff related to the world of library and archives. (^_^) Til then, enjoy the articles and their coverage. Thank you Professors for letting me know :)
