| Abstract : Through two major transformations in the
past, 1972 and 1993, the American Center Reference Service has been reborn
as a reference information center with specialized materials in various
forms. For the rapidly increasing “remoto users,"the ACRS now provides three
of service : an Electronic mail outreach service, Pre-packaged sites on
specific subjects, and a Fax-On-Demand service. Moreover, with its consolidation
into the Separtment of State in 1999, the ACRS now faces a further challenges
to pursus its “public diplomacy" mission even more effciently and effectively.
A digitized library with accurately filtered and more value-added information
would be a solution for the ACRS in the fast-approaching Internet age, emphasizes
the author. |

| Abstract : Digital Library Division and Digital Library Research
Division is established in Information Technology Center, The University
of Tokyo, 1999. They aim at digitalizing the library and investigate the
future library as an information system. The idea already discussed has
not yet been matured. However it might be an interesting idea for some people.
In this draft, firstly we propose a concept which would be revellious to
the tradition of library. Secondly, we describe the recent activities of
our division. Finally, the promising future technology for user interfacing
is proposed. Keywords : Digital Library / Stock / Flow / OPAC / Information
