Abstract: When it comes to the total image of organizations offering storage and retrieval services including museums, libraries and archives, we think of "continuum pregnant with differences." Also in MLA collaboration often mentioned recently, each organization is planned to grow through the continuity owing to homogeneity of MLA organizations, and at the same time through its "invasion [transgression]" of others against the background of differences in traditional behaviors peculiar to respective MLA bodies. The tension caused by such invasions is expected to open up the possibility for MLA collaboration to have significance. The author thinks that the "Continuity/Transgression"* that progresses among MLA organizations will make up an aspect of the principles for philosophy of MLA collaboration. *"A Perspective on Contemporary Art: Continuity/Transgression" is the title of the exhibition held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, 2002.

Abstract: This article focuses on what we should discuss about towards enhanced reading opportunities in Japanese Correctional Institutions, mainly adult prisons. For this goal, we need to approach from all 3 points of views: (1) inmates of prisons are protected their freedom to access and read books, and their rights to meet their needs for reading as civil persons under the Constitutions; (2) on the other hand, their rights and freedom can be limited because of keeping discipline and order in prisons or necessity for rehabilitation or correctional purposes; (3) they also have needs for assistance or support for their reading in an effort to come back to society in the future.

Abstract: Facilities called "literary museums" have the function of being libraries specialized in literature. They also have the features of being museums and archives. There are differences in the ways in which libraries and literary museums are linked with one another, depending on the scale of the facility. When considering issues related to such linkages, it is necessary to not only focus on the format of each facility and how they operate, but also individual groups, as well as topics and fields of materials to be collected.new Library Infoplementation of he discovery intph Integrated Lil.

Abstract: Science communication aims to share academic information with public from the stage of production. Though libraries stock and circulate academic information after its production, science communication and libraries have much in common about their aims and characters. In this article, we share our experience on the massive earthquake on 11th March, 2011, and analyze from the view of science communication. Information at the emergency directly links to the lives. Creative corporation between librarians and science communicators lead to the proposal for the novel system for academic information publication.
