Planning should not begin with drawing a blueprint for future work. Before deciding what to do and how to proceed, it is absolutely necessary to make sure whether we should do this or that, why so, and why not. Materials supporting the reasoning, be it toward positive side or negative, are of great help in persuading we ourselves or our superiors or whomso- ever we need to seek support from; and are even more helpful in case of debating with those who are against the plan. Goals ought to be put on top of all the criteria in planning. They are also closest to philosophy. Philosophy of education affects the policy and attitude of the government toward campus affairs as well as those of the school or university authorites, thus having definite influence upon decision making about "to be or not to be" and "this way or that way" of certain services. The essence of librarianship and of public services is perpetual, no matter what evolution the library may undergo. Library philosophy should always be the cornerstone of any sort of library planning, of course including that of public services.
