Abstract
The present article attempts, first, to clarify the “Electronic Library” concept as originally conceived by Dowlin in his Electronic Library and also that of the academic library as described in the context of electronic campus. Then, the selected electronic library projects in Europe, to which the author conducted study visits in recent years, are introduced to illustrate different approaches to the electronic library. The key points to be considered in planning and implementing an electronic library in the university library setting are described. These points were drawn from an analysis of existing electronic library projects. Finally, the recent report of the Committee on Science Information, Science Council, to the Minister of Education, Science, Sports and Culture entitled “Strengthening Electronic Library Functions in the University Library” is discussed in light of academic library development in the information society.
