Outline of Final Research Achievements

There stored documents with respect to the development of education for librarian training after the WWII in the University of Tokyo. But as they were deteriorated, it was difficult to use them. By using budget for the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, we promoted the conservation treatment and the data digitization of these documents.
Using the digitized documents about the librarian training courses which were held after the WWII, we studied and examined the characteristics of postwar Japanese library education system. At the beginning, the courses were started as the incumbents’education for the public libraries and planned to last for only five years, but they were seen as librarian training paths in the local governmental administration system and maintained after that.
Besides, we summarized the recommendations for the incumbents’education of the school librarians, which will be necessary in case that the school librarian qualification system be created in the near future.
