    Progress in digital technology as well as rapid advancement of the Internet have brought a big influence on the role libraries have long kept, so-called monopolistic controlling power on academic researches. The both progresses cause information to drastically increase, and enable any user to get access to the information almost instantly and simultaneously with other users. Accordingly digital age changes what a library is. Academic libraries, for instance, have a large number of digital related devises, and have not only traditional library materials but also digital information resources inside. Libraries instead likely have extra spaces. Those spaces can be used for such purposes as information commons, learning, relaxation. On the campus libraries tend to be collaborative with computer centers or with university presses. Library staff is required to be proficient in IT technology.

    American lawyers cannot function without access to information, the core of which has been a library of law books. The history of law libraries in the United States is older than that of the country. Candidates for the admission to the bar now have to take a bar examination. Graduates from an ABA (The American Bar Association)-accredited law school are qualified to take such examinations in all United States jurisdictions. The ABA set the Standards for Approval of Law Schools which are minimum requirements for providing a sound program of legal education. As the law school library is an integral part of the law school program, its requirements are also stipulated in the standards. This article introduces a brief history of law school libraries in the United States. It also discusses such characteristics of American law school libraries as the law school library standards set by the ABA and the American Association of Law Schools, the autonomy concept of law schools libraries in the university setting, and the holding of extensive collections beyond basic legal materials.

Recently design is likely to be emphasized as an additional value on products. Accordingly, the utilization of the intellectual property rights, which protect design, is indispensable to enhance their competitiveness on products. Several ways can be considered to protect design legally, including the Design Law, the Copyright Law, the Unfair Competition Prevention Law, the Patent Law, the Utility Right Law. This article covers the Design Law which forms core of design protection with describing the outline of the Design System, design development and intellectual property right strategy, the practical use of the system such as countermeasures against imitations, and the issues to be dealt with from the time forward.
