After World War II, GHQ(General Headquarters)decided to open the library school in Japan for democracy. Robert L. Gitler, the president of JLS(Japan Library school), invited four faculties of library science in U.S.A. Frances N. Cheney came to Japan as a specialist of reference service, and taught reference service and librarianship to Japanese students for 18 months. They were influenced by her, and from then spread reference service in Japan.
