Changing Face of Access to Government Information in Japan:Issues Concerning Policy, the Electronic Environment,and the Role of Libraries and Archives
(0) Access to government information helps promote community well-being in that this serves as a basis for the rule of law and accountability with regard to both current and future generations. Intermediary institutions such as libraries and archives are supposed to facilitate such access by providing a means to access information that allows the potential contained in government information to be fully exploited to the benefit of the community. In this regard, the role of libraries and archives is increasingly being recognized within the context of an expanding electronic environment and a growing trend toward what is termed the e-government. Such a scenario particularly applies to China where, in 2008, the Regulation of the Peoples Republic of China on the Disclosure of Government Information designated the national archives and public libraries throughout the country as places where government information can be accessed in both print and electronic format.
