Keio University

Program Overview

The Department of Library Science, which preceded the Department of Library and Information Science, was founded in 1951 with support from the United States as the first librarian training institute at a Japanese university. Robert Gitler, who was responsible for finding the right university, chose Keio University as he was inspired by the autobiography of Keio founder Yukichi Fukuzawa. Initially, five American professors and librarians were holding classes in English, aided by an interpreter.
