Abstract

Recently, the librarians have been interested in the information science and/or communication theory. And according to this trend, the libraries have made much progress in the service for their clients. And it looks that the library assume the social role for dissemination of information. But, on the contrary, the librarians are apt to disregard that the mostly foundamental function of the library as a social institution, is to collect recorded knowledge, and that information used in the library is based on its “collection”. The primary character of “books” as recorded knowledge is their “copiability”. So the library's role in the communication process, is not mere dissemination or “flow”of information. <br> 　The theory of the librarianship should be based on the proper social function of the library. Therefore, the research field of the information science is mainly the phase of “information flow”， and the proper field of the librarianship is mainly the phase of recording and collecting information. And so, the librarianship and the information science should devide and share their own study field.
