Since 1979, there have been many attempts to reform the management of public services,including public library services in the UK. ln this research, the strategies for reform of thepublic library management which were carried forward by the Conservative Party and those bythe Labor Party were compared and analysed to clarify their features. It was confirmed that the strategies by both the Conservative and the Labor were set inaccord with the principles of those for reform of the whole public services. The principles of theConservative strategies were promotion of privatization, management rationalization by voluntary effort, and creation of customer-oriented libraries. While those of the Labor strategies werepromotion of the library management in partnership with public, private and voluntary sectors,management rationalization at the initiative of the central government, creation of customeroriented libraries, and adaptation to information society. Model Statement of Standants developed by the Conservative was analysed and comparedwith ComPrehensive, EiEcient ana Modern Public Libraries developed by the Labor. The resultswere as follows:

The word kansei originally means sensitivity in Japanese. A somewhat different and expanded meaning of this word began to be used in Japan, at first in the area of marketing, in 1984. Gradually it had been used in various fields, and eventually became a buzzword of the 1980s. Kansei is an intentionally ambiguous word, meaning some ambiguous and illogical way of accepting sensible objects, something like feeling, sensitivity, and impression in English. In 1990s, the concept of kansei was introduced to information retrieval research. Experiments with kansei keywords consisting of adjectives, have been carried out for the retrieval of pictures and music. Normally steps of constructing and retrieving a kansei database are as follows: (1) to assign kansei keywords to images manually; (2) to relate the kansei keywords thus assigned with the characteristics (ex. color) extracted from the images; (3) to create a database consisting of images, their characteristics and kansei keywords; (4) to retrieve images with kansei keywords. Many experiments have shown that such a method of creating databases achieves the optimal performance in small size databases. Thus, it will be most probable that it cannot be applied to operational databases.
