大学図書館発達史序説

一特に私立大学図書館を中心に見たる一

抄録

The American Educational System was adopted and practiced by Japanese universities and since 1948 many junior colleges and universities have been established and in 1958 amounted to 503 in number.
In order to study the library development for these ten years the statistics of Education Ministry as well as the report on the research of the actual condition of libraries done by the Private Universtiy Library Association both in 1951 and 1956, are available, which, however, are not satisfactory, because the former is insufficient, and the latter is not systematic. This is explained in the statistics which I published in 1959 about private university libraries on the bullitin of both Japan Private University Association and the Japan Private Junior College Association.
The best way to study the history of Japanese university librariee for ten years after the War is, I think, to find factors, taking “Item to improve private university libraries” and “Provisions to establish university” in joint consideration.
