This paper examines two approaches of the NDL and the NAJ toward innovative projects: (1) retrospective digitization of historical publications and documents and (2) treatment of born-digital information. It then proposes a desirable strategy for the NDL and the NAJ, as well as government information service institutions in other countries, to aid them in "innovation beyond institutions." This strategy involves (1) collaboration in the management of information systems and (2) cooperation between government libraries and government archives.
