The library of Kagawa Nutrition University specializes in nutrition and medicine. The main academic fields of nutrition include applied nutrition, health science and lifestyle-related diseases, food chemistry, cooking, food culture, etc. This paper describes the reference tools commonly used in this library and introduces new and valid information resources for coping with high-speed information transmission.On-line materials are valuable reference tools, both in their quality and quantity. However, the large amount of information that is available requires that image databases be constructed so information can be easily accessed. Furthermore, the number of useful databases, like Ichu-si web and PubMed, has increased, requiring a higher tier of database organization.Until now, database collection has largely depended on the efforts of library staff members. However, The National Diet Library (NDL) recently began to construct a database of databases, which librarians have longed for. To date, the NDL has collected the names of about 5, 000 databases. Librarians will be able to use the results of this project to expand their searching abilities and help library users to a greater degree.
