As a major part of its mission from the beginning, NCC regularly offers Professional Development for librarians, faculty, and scholars. NCC has offered many types of workshops to meet a variety of needs, from multi-day seminars for new Japanese Studies librarians, to part-day workshops for faculty, and more. NCC is always ready to help users gain knowledge and skills to access Japanese resources. Encouraging librarian-faculty partnerships is another important focus. NCC also partners with other organizations to offer a broader range of workshops.
