Description

The Fifth Japan-U.S. Conference on Libraries and Information Science in Higher Education was held in Japan in two different versions, one in Tokyo [1] and the other one in Kyoto [2]. The paper tried to assess the Fifth Conference by paying attentions solely to its search for mutuality or reciprocity between the libraries of these two countries as the major concern. Three issues, closely related with the concern, i.e. unbalanced collection developments of research materials for American studies and those for Japanese studies, irrelevant matching in a new relationship between researchers and librarians, and advantages and disadvantages of the Conference for advancement of reciprocity are picked up and investigated in three aspects, namely, issue itself treated in the Fifth Conference, following up and additional information, and comments and discussions of the present author. It is made clear that reciprocity or mutuality between university libraries of the two countries, though full of turns and twists, has been, patently and latently, one of the key issues in the Conferences.
