Abstract

As the use and expectations toward the specialized library have increased, the importance of information services in special fields has become more emphasized than before. In this context, the role and functions of the museum libraries have been more highlighted as the museum has been more frequently used and become popular. In that, this study builds a theoretical background of the information services of national museum libraries, examines their webpages, and analyzes survey results conducted for national museum libraries. By so doing, this study intends to point out issues based upon the analysis and to suggest some recommendations for more effective information services of national museum libraries.
