図書館学序説の特質─特にシェラの近業について

抄録

　The library science developed with academic libraries in Europe, has various fields of librarianship, while library economy of public libraries in Americe made remarkable progress and there are many articles and monographs on specific topics, but no whole outline.
　Modern library service requiring complehensive informations necessarily makes systems or networks, and now National Comminion on Libraries and Information Science is established. Reflecting such situations, there are several introductions to library science, and I observed, among them, Dr.Gate's and Dr. Shera's. The former selects topics according to public opinions of more than one handred scholars, whose work is popular and balanced. The latter selects unique topics and debates on his own theory and philosophy, whose opinon would encourage young scholars and students.
