The goal of this study is to explore and draw implicaitons from international and domestic media and information literacy (MIL) policies and educational systems. To this end, international policy documents issued by UNESCO, IFLA, OECD, and the EU as well as domestic South Korean laws and policies related to MIL and the fuctions of public libraries and related institutions were analyzed. The findings show that international organizations recognize public libraries as institutions that are responsible for providing information access and supporting knowledge sharing for citizens within and outside of formal education systems. Additionally, public libraries are seen as institutions responsible for supporting lifelong learning and civic education, as well as improving media, information, and digital literacy skills of their communities. In South Korea, the Library Act gives public libraries and librarians responsibility for improving citizens' MIL to support the public's right to know and to narrow the information gap. However, the functions of public libraries and librarians in South Korea have been limited or excluded in the domestic MIL policies. This study concludes that public libraries and librarians are responsible for reducing the information gap among citizens and should actively participate in policy development to improve citizens' MIL skills.

The public lending right is a system in which government provide compensation to authors on the premise that the sale of books is reduced due to the book borrowing of the library. Recently, the claim that the public lending right should be introduced in Korea has been continuously raised by the authors. This study was conducted as part of the basic work to demonstrate whether the claims of public lending right are based on reasonable premises. The library's popular lending books and bookstore bestseller books were compared to analyze the similarities and differences. Through this process, we derive necessary factors to prove the validity of the introduction of the public lending right and suggest follow - up study. In addition, we recalled the social meaning of book lending in libraries.

Opening university library doors to the community is essential to meeting their demands and it is also the duty of university libraries. Since opening doors of university libraries have become more and more significant, this study analysed the conditions of the university libraries that have the open-door policy to external users and carried out an analysis of problems caused by the open-door policy. The following alternatives were suggested : the introduction of the membership system about the external users, the role division of university library and local public libraries, reinforcement of external library user education, and access management about external users.

Libraries have long experience of applying classification schemes to resources - chiefly books. The ultimate goals of classification are systematic shelving of books and ease of user's access. In order to achieve these goals, books about a particular field of knowledge should be shelved together and near each other. If not so, it is classification error. The focus of this study is, therefore, on analysing the classification error in Korea public libraries and suggesting some alternatives.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the developmental direction of public library specialization by investigating the library specialization and the perception and opinions on the theme specialized librarians. A total of 69 directors have responded to the survey, and the main result was that while there are difficulties in terms of manpower and budget in providing the specialization services, they have been fully aware of the need and value of the libraries' specialized services and were willing to maintain and develop the services in the future. In addition, more than half of the respondents said that the provision of specialized services and the placement of theme specialized librarians at the public libraries are essential. The qualification for the theme specialized librarians was said to be higher than a master's degree and 4 to 7 years or longer of relevant work experience and must be managed as a national qualification system. Based on these results, suggestions were made that the discussions of the specialization service comprised of the training system for specialized librarians, the establishment and operation of the theme specialized librarian qualification system, and the cooperation with the theme related organizations for the qualitative improvement of the specialization service, among others.

지난 연말의‘도서관계 10대뉴스’에서 보았듯이 2005년에는 도서관법 전면개정 추진, 도서관에 개인정보인권 보호조치 권고, 저작권법 개정, 사서교사 임용, 주40시간 근무제, 독서문화 확산 등 여러가지 큼직한 일들이 있었다. 2006년도에는 그 어느 해보다 많은 변화가 예상된다. 특히 세계도서관인들의 축제인 <2006서울세계도서관정보대회>가 서울에서 열린다. 세계에 한국의 도서관문화와 사서들의 활동을 알릴 수 있는 좋은 기회가 될 수 있도록 도서관인 모두의 적극적인 관심과 홍보, 참여가 매우 중요하다. 이외에도 도서관법, 저작권법, 학교도서관진흥법 등 도서관 관련법의 제도 정비, 여전히 풀어야할 과제로 남아있는 공공도서관 민간위탁 등이 주요 이슈로 부각 될 전망이다. 프랑스의 석학 자크 아탈리는“변화를 받아들일 줄 모르면 그 존재가 사라진다.”“변화를 수용할 줄 알아야 살아남을 수 있다.”고 강조한바 있다. 변화는 21세기를 살아가는 우리들에게 매우 중요한 메시지를 남긴다. 그“변화”의 중심에 도서관계가 자리잡아 사회 속에 더 큰 부분으로 자리 매김 할 수 있는 한 해가 되기를 바란다. ■ 편집자 주

Personal Information Protection Act was first enacted in March, 2011, amended in September, 2011 and became effective. Nevertheless, the risk of interfering with personal information protection still remains, associated with collection, plagiarism, leakage, and even sales of personal information. The public libraries are not an exception. Accordingly, this study investigates the status of personal information protection in public libraries of Seoul and Gyeonggi province. Also, it tries to discover problems associated with the act and presents a model scheme to improve this situation. The scheme relates to (1) securing of a sufficient budget; (2) reinforcing professional education related to personal information; (3) developing detailed guidelines for public libraries.

The free learning semester system focuses on the activation of career education of middle school students as an educational policy that links career recognition in elementary school, career search in middle school, and career planning in high school. This system was fully implemented in 2016 and public libraries also provided various programs. This study analyzed the free learning semester system programs of public libraries in Busan city and demonstrated the contribution of local development. As a result, career and job search, career exploration and experience, and information literacy enhancement programs contributed to local knowledge culture, reading culture, learning culture, living culture and leisure culture. However, contribution of reading exhibitions, job experience, information literacy enhancement to the leisure culture and local economy were limited. Therefore, it is desirable that all libraries should add programs related to knowledge ecosystem structure, digital information gap, human healing, social environment issues, future job prospects, and provide information literacy programs.
