    　Recently, the librarians have been interested in the information science and/or communication theory. And according to this trend, the libraries have made much progress in the service for their clients. And it looks that the library assume the social role for dissemination of information. But, on the contrary, the librarians are apt to disregard that the mostly foundamental function of the library as a social institution, is to collect recorded knowledge, and that information used in the library is based on its “collection”. The primary character of “books” as recorded knowledge is their “copiability”. So the library's role in the communication process, is not mere dissemination or “flow”of information.
    　The theory of the librarianship should be based on the proper social function of the library. Therefore, the research field of the information science is mainly the phase of “information flow”， and the proper field of the librarianship is mainly the phase of recording and collecting information. And so, the librarianship and the information science should devide and share their own study field.

    　The Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 and the Local Government Act 1972 are the most important events in the history of public library system of England and Wales. The former brought for the first time the public library service provided by local authorities, under the superintendence of the central government, that is, the Secretary of State for Education and Science. The latter established larger service units through the strategic reorganization of local government structure.
    　These approaches to the problem of the widening gap in the quality of service enabled them to consider the public library problems in a national sense. This trend is more or less common to most of the advanced countries in the world, and reflected in the provisions of the public library law of each country.
    　In addition, the British Library Act 1972 brought the coordination of the national libraries. From these facts, we find a conscious acceptance on the part of government of the need for the National Planning of library service. But many problems are to be solved with the view of establishing a national policy for libraries.

    　Reviews the national development of liberary resources in the United States with special emphasis on the Farmington Plan.
    　The well known Farmington Plan, which started just after the World War II, was the first cooperative effort on nation-wide basis to attain comprehensive coverage of research materials published in the world.
    　Although started with this far-reaching goal, the Plan encountered many problems and limitations—such as financial deficiencies, lack of the established selection and acquisition policies—, it did not attain so much as it was expected, while the publications of the world were ever more increasing, corresponding to the expanding need of research activities. Therefore the more centralized acquisition program supported by the government was sine qua non for solving the problem.
    　In 1965, this urgent need was recognized at the federal level, and Title II-C of the Higher Education Act enabled the Library of Congress to collect and catalogue important research materials of the world. With the operation of this new program (NPAC), it was regarded that the function of the Farmington Plan was substantially taken over, and the Plan ended in 1972.
