Japanese Reference Materials for Japanese Cinema

[Aaron Gerow]

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to let you know that, with the wonderful cooperation of the  
Yale East Asian Library, the research guide for Japanese film studies  
I prepared called "Japanese Reference Materials for Japanese Cinema"  
has been uploaded to the Library website.

http://guides.library.yale.edu/JapanFilm

It does not substitute for the book I co-authored with Mark Nornes,  
Research Guide to Japanese Film Studies, but it does offer a concise  
introduction to the print and online reference materials in Japanese  
available at Yale that are essential for studying cinema. If you or  
any of your colleagues or students need to find out something about a  
film or director, this guide will help you know where to look. I  
believe the guide is the first of its kind on the net.

If your library or website is able to do this, feel free to set up  
links to this guide.

Since it is on the net, it is a fluid text and thus open to comments  
and additions. Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions.
