...Appointed to lead the University Library in 1984 by then-President Derek C. Bok, he is the longest-serving chief librarian in Harvard’s history. During his tenure, the library created the online HOLLIS catalog, constructed the Harvard Depository to contain the overflowing collection, established a preservation program, and embarked on several major electronic projects...

So why are ordinary Japanese consumers like Maki Nobata behaving as if the country were still deep in recession? "I'm trying to cut back on spending," says the 36-year-old Tokyo accountant, who received a meager raise of less than $75 a month nearly two years ago and hasn't had another one since. Adding to her worries, Nobata doubts the pension system will be in place by the time she retires...
