The National Diet Library Monthly Bulletin, the information magazine of the National Diet Library of Japan, will be issued in a new design from April 2008.

• The size is enlarged from A5 to A4; printed in larger type from left to right, with more photographs and illustrations.
• The cover design is completely changed from the old one, which has been used since the first issue was published in 1961. A photograph of a selected library material will appear on the cover every month.
• The contents will make it easier for more readers to become acquainted with the activities and collections of the National Diet Library.

Copies of every issue will be distributed to all the main branches of public libraries in Japan.

Issues in PDF files since April 2004 are available on the NDL website.
