Abstract
With the recent opening of The National Library for Individuals with Disabilities, interests in library services for the disable have been increasing. For the purpose of promoting library services for the disabled all the more, the study is to provide cooperative plans in policy between the social welfare and the library and information service based on library perceptions of social workers as specialists in disability and welfare fields. Cooperative plans in policy provided by this study are as follows: (1) The unique communication channel between librarians and social workers should be constructed through social networks. (2) Public relations on the value and necessity of both the library and librarians should be enhanced. (3) Education on the expertise of the social welfare for librarians should be enriched. (4) Clear-cut identities between librarian's and social worker's tasks should be established.
