Not all may be referred to here but seven of them may, which I reckon as follows:
1. The problem of its denomination.
2. Its relation to information sciences.
3. Which should it be regarded to be, a natural or a social science? Or is it an applied sociology, or even an interdiciplinary sphere of leaming?
4. What are the basic objects of analysis: materials, information, knowledge, intelligence, resources, user, reader, inhabitants as the possible reader, etc.
5. Historical research needed for the progress of library activities.
6. Relationship between library science and the intellectual freedom.
7. How is the routine work to be scientifically systematized?
