| Abstract : Increase of electronic materials and adoption of access policy in library management brought many changes in the field of resource sharing. Recent activities in developing resource sharing intend to include not only traditional library materials but also electronic resources. Many projects for developing new ILL/DD service are also in process. New ILL/DD service will have features of user-initiated services and desk top delivery of documents and will include both of traditional and electronic materials. Increased importance of ILL/DD service in current library operation, managerial rationale of ILL service, and ILL network coherence were discussed. Based on these discussions and function analysis of ILL service, starategic directions of service development were discussed in Japanese context. Importance of the development of national strategy for ILL service was concluded. |

Abstract :Under the title “Photocopying in Libraries and Copyright", I intend to seek a better solution to such problems as : whether the photocopying of books by means of the so-called “Inter Library Loan" falls within the “reproduction in libraries" permitted under Article 31 of the Copyright Law ; transmission and reception of photocopies of books by means of FAX ; transmission and reception of photocopies of books by use of Internet like Ariel in recent years ; etc., in considering the observations of the Agency for Cultural Affairs and scholars on these problems and taking into account the developments in negotiations between the JPRRC, the right holder, and the University Libraries, the users. |

The Information Centers and their Data Bases in Germany ―with relation to EU― |
| Ryuko HASUNUMA (Japanisches Kulturinsititut Ko¨ln ) Anja Radegast (European Association for Japanese Studies) |
| Abstract : According to the federal structure of Germany, there is not only one, but several national centres for information, each specializing on one research subject. With financial support of the German Federal Government, four information centres for technology and natural sciences preparing and offering various data bases were established. On a national level, the German Fedral Government and the “Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft" are engaged in formulating a policy for information services and initiating various projects concerning the development of an infrastructure for information as well as the implementation of projects in electronic data processing. Since many of the German information centres became part of an international scientific information system on an early stage, there was not much interest in participating in EU Telematics programmes initiated later. In regard to the citizens' life long education fostered by recent EU programmes, enhanced net-working and an opening to the public would be desirable. |
