JAEA Library focuses on collecting conference proceedings and technical reports which are very important and referred materials for our users in the field of nuclear science and technology. There are an increasing number of cases that they are published in electronic media such as CD-ROM and flash memories. There are problems as to manage such electronic media in a library. Largest problems for electronic media would be the long-term preservation and permanent access. Lifetime of electronic media are much shorter compared with paper and/or microfilm. In this regard, the JAEA library is struggling to preserve electronic media including related PCs and software for a long-term. One of the effective countermeasure should be preserving PCs and software to browse, emulation and migration to another media. However, our countermeasure is not good enough for users and preservation. The authors would like to present JAEA Library's current activities on long term preservation and use of electronic media, and it comes to the conclusion the fact that even published electronic media are becoming grey literature in certain environment.

Sharing information of scientific research results on the Internet have developed in the global advancement of the open science today, such as archiving and disseminating scientific papers on institutional repositories, facilitating access to and use of research data etc. Accessibility to those contents in large volumes of information on the Internet is very important issue. Those contents might be grey literature without solving this accessibility issue. This presentation introduces the case study of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) Library as an example of efforts to improve circulation of research results in terms of grey literature. JAEA has disseminate information of our research results through the JAEA Originated Papers Searching System (JOPSS) on the Internet over decade, but we have three main issues to solve aiming at improving the accessibility of grey literature in the open science era; (1) to ensure accessibility of our Internet contents, (2) to consider how our target users find our contents, (3) to improve user interface of contents. We continue to disseminate research results by paying attention to the global trend of open science.

In March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Accident occurred in Japan. After the accident, parts of information on the accident has been distributed as grey literature and they cause some issues in terms of permanent accessibility to the information. This paper introduces the activity of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency Library as an example of efforts to improve access of Internet information using the DSpace. Consequently, we contributed to the improvement of the dissemination of grey literature at the following three points; (1)to ensure permanent access to Internet information by cooperating with the National Diet Library's Web archiving project, (2) to develop standardized metadata schema and classification system, (3)to develop prototype system using DSpace and compile about 36,000 metadata.

Conference Proceedings are "grey literature" due to the fact that they are not made commercially available frequently. While many Proceedings are published on the Internet, there are specific issues that can affect access, such as changes in the URLs. This paper introduces the case of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) library as an example of efforts to improve access of Proceedings using the Internet.
