    Progress in digital materials has changed librarianship drastically. With this situation how will libraries go ahead in the years to come? The author first proposes three types of future libraries. Digital technology creates possibility of actualizing “universal library” which is wall-less library. “Private library” is also actualized by digital technology, meeting individual or local information needs library user has. That is, in private library a user is allowed to get access to information meeting his/her needs through networking of electronic forms. The third one is “modern library”. It has public facility and core value which the modern library has had traditionally. The strong and weak points are described on each type of library. Then the author proposes the fourth type of library, “hybrid library”. It is pointed out that the future hybrid library with virtual presence should employ a portal model for object area it has. On the other hand the hybrid library is supposed to have value of sharing public facility among the users the same way traditional library used to have. To enter such a library world of must be a big challenge to librarians involved in it.

    Double Fold, written by Nicholson Baker, severely criticizes preservation policies in libraries in the U.S., especially the disposal of original newspapers after microfilming. Baker asserts libraries should have given priority to preservation rather than reformatting. However, libraries argue that reformatting is inevitable in order to preserve intellectual contents of materials and make them more accessible to users. CLIR has issued Report of the Task Force on the Artifact in Library Collections proposing that the role and the value of original, unformatted artifacts in library collections should be regarded as more important. Japanese libraries face the problem of lack of space and they will have to do away with some of their collections, too. Association of National University Libraries and Medical Library Association have discussed cooperative collecting, cooperative programs in preservation, and have planned a national deposit library.

    In DENSO Corporation, the Engineering Administration Department has been responsible for technical information relating to product design and development, which has been divided into three categories, in-house technical standards, regulations and standards, and library. Its activities have focused on the attainment of a goal of “efficient access to necessary information” to which it has placed a top priority.

    WebCT that has been used widely in higher educational institutes of North America is going to be a mission critical e-Learning platform in on-campus education, rather than mere WBT system. In this paper, we describe WebCT localized by Nagoya University and its current status at first. Secondly, we introduce two critical trends for educational information basis that we can observe in the movement of WebCT, (1) the cooperation with existing student information system, and (2) campus portal that provides university-wide one-stop service for all member of the institution. We have already had all of technologies in our hands that would be necessary for higher educational institutions in the first decade of 21 century. To move the direction, course management system like WebCT should be widely used in Japan.
