The Library purchased
part of the library of Prof. Gregory Grossman and part of that of the
late Prof. NONOMURA Kazuo. G. Grossman is a professor emeritus at
UC Berkeley specializing in Soviet and Socialist economies. His
book "Economic systems" (1st ed. 1967, 2nd ed. 1974) was translated
into Japanese in 1969. The late Prof. Nonomura (1913-1998) was a
professor at the Institute of Economic Research, Hitotsubashi
University. He also specialized in the Soviet economy.
Materials from
the library of Prof. Nonomura were acquired from 2000 to 2003 and the
total volume is 1,175. Among them, there were 912 volumes of
Russian books and 37 Japanese books. We have finished cataloging
them and they will soon be incorporated into our Slavic
Collection. From the library of Prof. G. Grossman, we purchased
392 volumes of books chiefly written in English, some monograph series
issues, periodical issues and related files. The acquisition
process and cataloging are ongoing now, and they will also soon be
incorporated into the collection.
