从1988年9月至11月，3名调查员和3名助理访问了西德国、比利时、荷兰、联合王国、意大利和法国的大学、学术研究和成人教育机构以及处理妇女问题的政府部门，以便交流有关妇女研究的信息。在这次访问中，我们通过捐赠和购买，收集了大约1500种书籍和资料。这些材料涵盖了妇女的工作、母性、妇女教育、女权主义理论、女权主义艺术、妇女政策和妇女历史等领域。这些材料将保存在妇女研究所、御茶水大学（IWSO）和全国妇女教育中心（NWEC）的图书馆，供公众使用。在我们访问之前，我们向西德国、联合王国、比利时和法国从事妇女研究和有关领域的各种机构邮寄了调查表，要求提供关于它们的活动和结构的资料。我们发出了282份问题单，收到了62份答复，积累了大量关于妇女研究的发展和现状的信息，特别是在德国和联合王国。我们还在日本和西欧国家之间建立了机构和面向研究人员的网络，我们的研究结果将在1989年国际水资源统计组织和西北能源委员会的公报以及其他杂志和书籍上发表。

From September through November of 1988, 3 investigators and 3 assistants visited universities, institutions for academic research and adult education, and government ministerial sections that deal with women in West Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, and France in order to exchage information on women's studies. During this visit we collected, through donation and purchase, books and materials extending to about 1500 titles. These materials cover such areas as Women,s Work, Motherhood, Women's Education, Feminist Theory, Feminist Art, Policy for Women, and Women's History. These materials will be maintained in the libraries of the Institute for Women's Studies, Ochanomizu University (IWSO) and the National Women's Education Centre (NWEC), and they will be available for public use. Prior to our visit, we mailed questionaires to various institutions in West Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium and France which are engaged in Women's Studies and related fields, requesting information on their activities and structures. We sent out 282 questionairos and received 62 responses.We have accumulated a significant body of information concerning the development and current conditions of Women's Studies, especially in Germany and the United Kingdom. We have also established institutional and researcher-oriented networks between Japan and West European countries.The results of our research will be published in the bulletins of the IWSO and the NWEC in 1989 and in other journals and books.
