    　Results are reported of an analysis of the reference inquiries received and recorded at the Reference Department of Rikkyo University Library over a three-year period. Variables used in the analysis include patron affiliation, inquiry mode, inquiry type, source type, and search process. Reference inquiries are tabulated by these variables, and then several problems identified are discussed. Finally, some suggestions are made on directional transactions, potential users needs, staff training and development, systems for recording statistics and inquiries, and the like.

    　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?

    　In order to identify data elements of serials, it is first examined what kinds of serials several university libraries have included in their catalogs of serials. Next, it is indicated that in comparison with ISBD (S) and AACR2 NCR 1977 edition has some problems in identifying serials with generic titles. It is hypothesized that identification of data elements of serials is not so much regarded in Japanese librarianship as in the West. Therefore, thirdly, taking as an example Union List of Scientific Serials in the Humanities and Social Sciences; European Languages, data elements in the catalog are closely examined. Lastly, a corporate body as an author of serial, which is foreign to Japanese librarianship, is discussed.
