This study was conducted to propose the improvements by analyzing the actual state of Education Information Disclosure related to the school libraries of elementary and middle schools and by grasping its problems. In order to do that, we examined the Education Information Disclosure standards in school libraries in Korea. The actual state of information disclosure on 13 items related to school libraries was analyzed, using S High School in Seoul as a case study. In addition, in understanding the values of school libraries easily and informing them exactly through Education Information Disclosure, it was judged that the forms and guides for disclosure and the level of school introduction services were somewhat insufficient. On the basis of that, some improvements were proposed, which could help to make the operation and management of Education Information Disclosure in school libraries more efficient.

21st century is called as a knowledge based society. It means that a society has to build an efficient information system to store and retrieve their knowledge and information. I think a school library is a base educational institution to teach information skill and a student has to be trained very well to treat information in 21st century. However school library has not been developed enough in Korea, and so I suggest the strategy of school library development for the new millennium. For the purposes, I divide the environmental elements of school library into two parts -external and internal elements of school library environment- and examine them to suggest some policies. Even though the suggestions are still a little fantastic in the situation of scl~ml library in Korea, they should bc objects to be achieved in someday.

This paper investigates the Bunko, the center of Japanese children's reading movement, and its impact on the development of Japanese school library. Paper is consisted by two parts , one subject is the programs and the law made by government which is related to either the school library or children's reading, the other is Bunko movements initiated by citizen mostly mothers who wish to improve their children's reading environment. The Bunko movements started in 1960's and motivate the establishment of public libraries in 1970's, and it has triggered activating the school library after early 1990's. By analyzing the relationships of the two subjects it can be concluded that they are tightly connected each other by emphasizing the function of school library not as a teaching-learning center but as a reading facility. It makes difficult for the Japanese school library to establish the most important function of supporting curriculum.

최근 대학도서관뿐만 아니라 대부분의 도서관에서 인터넷과 웹의 영향으로 전자정보원이 급증하고 이를 관리하는 예산의 비중이 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위하여 장서개발정책 수립이 불가피하다. 특히 외국의 경우 장서정책개발, 장서분석 등의 분야에서 그 연구가 활발한 데에 비해 국내의 장서개발정책은 현실을 반영하는 것조차 힘든 상황이다. 이것은 이용자나 다른 도서관에서 활용하기 어렵다는 문제점을 안고 있으며, 변화하는 시대에 맞춘 장서개발 및 관리 역시 어렵다는 점을 보여주고 있다. 특히 대학도서관의 의무를 다 하기 위해서는, 장서의 효율적인 관리와 공간 활용뿐만 아니라 대학의 교육 및 연구에 얼마나 이바지 할 수 있을 것인가에 더욱 주안점을 둔 장서개발정책이 필요할 것이다. 본 내용은 영국의 리즈대학교와 국내의 A대학교의 장서개발정책을 비교분석함으로서 장서개발정책의 필요성과 문제점을 확인하고자 한다.
