Abstract

Based on literature survey and content analysis, this paper analyzes the British library legal systems composing three parts of special laws, relative laws, norms and standards of libraries and their effects. Among them, the special laws of libraries consist of national and regional library laws, such as Public Libraries and Museums Act, British Library Act and Public Libraries (Scotland) Act, play key roles on the specification and guidance in the development of British librarianships; while the relative laws of libraries such as Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, The Copyright and Related Rights Regulations and Freedom of Information Act support the development of British librarianships; and the norms and standards of libraries such as Welsh Public Library Standards and Code of Professional Practice are indispensable codes of conduct of librarianship in UK.
