In this presentation, we would like to introduce the present status of the collection of conference proceedings (proceedings) in the JAEA Library and the improvement of access to the full text of proceedings. Conference Proceedings have been published mainly in conventional book form from. But, in recent years, their publication form has been changing. Nowadays, they have been publishing in the form of a CD-ROM, or Internet. They become typical gray literature, because many of them are not commercially available. Accessibility to the full text of conference proceedings on the Internet seems improved. But, conference proceedings on the Internet have a specific problem of information on the Internet. For example, there is a possibility that access URL is changed. As a good practice for the improvement of accessibility to the full text of proceedings, we would like to introduce the case of the JAEA library. So, we would like to examine the problems of the availability of proceedings as a whole.
