    In research communities, particularly in science and technology fields, e-Science has recently emerged. Using data sets listed in research results ones are able to test or identify principles or mechanisms of biology, chemistry, physics, so on through the computer simulations. Then several e-science projects started sharing data sets in scientific fields over the world. That is to say, one science was born. Data sets sharing in such a large sized science can be seen in nanotechnology areas. It is urgent and indispensable to control or secure access to these data sets not only currently but also in future. Here are the places which library science and archives science are applied to. Besides new roles of librarians are required to be established. For instance such librarians should be educated both in library science and science/technological areas. So that facing a new science being emerged some matters on how to wrestle with it need be considered in library science area.
