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.
