Library and Library Studies
In today's increasingly complex society, it is not easy for libraries, especially public libraries, to provide better services on their own. Therefore, it is important to emphasize the connection with local communities and cooperation with other organizations. It is not the time when "librarians are in charge of dealing with visitors at the counter". When thinking about libraries in the future, it is necessary to think from a wider perspective and more perspectives. This section introduces various types of library services, such as the provision of materials and information, cooperation with local communities and other organizations, and cooperation with other organizations. Examples of libraries in Japan, including libraries known for their advanced initiatives, are introduced, including directly managed libraries and libraries with designated manager system. In addition, by learning about not only public libraries but also special libraries and school libraries, you can understand the differences in library services depending on the type of library.
