    This is the lecture paper presented at the joint forum in commemoration of publication of GALE-NICHIGAI reference series titled "Development of new information services in the 21st century". The speaker first identifies the definition of an electronic library, and outlines the present state of realizing them at national university, private university and public libraries. He seys that distribution of computers has been done considerably at each place, but network environment such as LAN is not available as a whole except for some national universities. He also says that use of electronic materials, particularly CD-ROM should be indispensable in terms of use of computing power. The current condition of the use is described. He ends his talk by saying that in order to realize electronic libraries which enable new type of services such as library use from a user's home, we should accept electronic information and the networking as significant impact and utilize them positively.

    Down-sizing, client/server model and multi-vendor type, which are current of the recent computer system, have brought renovation into system development. That is to say, it is the method to combine multiple package softs originally minimizing the efforts of developing original software.ALPS ELECTRIC Co., LTD. MAGNETIC DEVICES DIVISION constructed a document retrieval system and a patent information system as subsystems of integrated technical information system in which three units of hardwares, each made by different companies, and three kinds of commercial softwares are employed. The author describes the outline of these systems, and the concepts of each, compilation of thesaurus and the development steps.

    Databases related to Japanese law(statutes and cases)are not satisfactorily constructed in comparison with American databases such as LEXIS and WESTLAW. This backwardness derives mostly from the incapacity of computer machines to handle old Chinese characters, and the fact that Japanese legal profession had a bad image of computer databases. In recent years, however, the needs for legal databases became very large due to the internationalisation of Japanese society. Considerable improvement is made, yet there are still certain aspects where a new invention is reauired in order to make such databases really useful and proper. The University of Tsukuba (Institute for Advanced Legal Studies) is making efforts to create an idealistic database on law.
