大学図書館における図書館利用案内の実態

─1989年度調査に基づく分析と評価

抄録

Most of Japanese libraries publish library guides as one of user services. There are several articles on the library guide, but analytical studies are very few. So, the authors attempted to survey the current trends of library guides of Japanese university libraries in two methods; a study using questionnaire to 205 university libraries (fifty seven national universities, sixteen public universities, and one hundred and thirty two private universities) and a study using 183 library guides both in content and physical aspect.
This article consists of following chapters; (1) the data collected and methods of this survey; (2) the conditions of the editing and distribution of library guides; (3) the analysis and evaluation of physical aspect of the library guides, and (4) the analysis and evaluation of the contents of the library guides. Findings of these analyses are presented in a series of tables and discussed focusing on basic function of library guides.
