    To examine relationship between library and massmedia from aspect of library service, it is analized Library Radio Broadcasting 1920--1940 by American Public Libraries in this paper. Showing examples of these activities, it was outlined organization of special committee in ALA for this movement and considered various discussions about radio as a new media. As the results of this study, it was found that many libraries used radio as tool for library P. R. It was also proved that it made some experimental attempts as radio reference service in Library Radio Broadcasting movement.

    A prototype system has been developed to analyze the ambiguity and complexity of existing cataloging rules, i.e., Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed., 1988 revision. The system has functions to examine the internal structure of each rule and to investigate inter-rule relationships as well. This paper addresses the inter-rule relationship analysis and explores the feasibility for implementing functions to verify the consistency and completeness of a rule set on the basis of that analysis. With expansion of the rule relationship analysis, the system can identify inconsistencies in a rule set by looking for redundant rules, subsumed rules, conflicting rules, unnecessary conditions, and so on. The system can also check completeness by looking for missing rules within a given range of rules. This paper assesses the validity and usefulness of the proposed approach and also considers its problems and issues.

    A mathematical model which is a basic framework to analyse effectiveness of interlibrary loan(ILL) network and concentration and dispersion of service by lending libraries developed. The model describes a process of assignment of ILL demands to lending libraries which have resources requested. Based on the model, limits of degree of concentration and dispersion under a set of constraints of service capacity (maximum amount of service possible by a lending library) were revealed. And that, limit of concentration was shown as a function of maximum capacity among libraries, and limit of dispersion as a function of degree of concentration of service capacity and number of libraries in a network.

    This paper is a report of a survey of formal library user education given at 162 main libraries at mid-sized academic institutions. This survey follows a similar survey of main libraries at large universities done last year by the same authors. The survey questionnaire separated patron education provided as a part of general school orientation from other types of user education. The revised questionnaire examined not only content, method, size, and other aspects of institution but also requested information about the libraries' service facilities.
    The survey revealed that 72 of the 162 libraries planned their own orientation independently of their parent organizations and that 104 libraries set up programs for user education outside of normal orientation. This showed that mid-sized university libraries did not provide as much instruction as the libraries of larger institutions. However, the amount of instruction provided was better than expected. The survey also revealed that private schools had more effective library user education than national and public universities.
