Discovery is an emerging concept to enhance the search capabilities of library resources with the Next Generation Library Catalog. This paper defined the Discovery feature based on the information search behavior, and then derived the elements that make up its function. After that, the 11 regional representatives libraries' OPACs and 3 Internet bookstores are evaluated and compared against Search & Discovery capabilities. As a result, the Internet bookstores were superior to the libraries' OPACs for all the elements that make up the Discovery functions. This study verified that the public libraries OPACs are still concentrating on known item search, and it is hard for the users to meet a serendipity which is gained through the Discovery functions.

The purpose of this study is to derive implications through a comparison of the current status of catalog enriched content services provision in U.S. public libraries and domestic public libraries. In addition, we are seeking ways to improve the catalog enriched content services for domestic public libraries in the future. From early September to mid-October 2023, specific books were searched on public library websites in the U.S. and Korea, and the functions of the enriched content services shown in the search results were compared. The results are as follows: First, domestic public library enriched content services require a separate company to develop and provide an enriched content services solution. Second, the enriched content services platform must discover domestic information sources that can be utilized in the areas of book-centered, book recommendation, and community engagement. Third, it is necessary to develop enriched content using public data such as the Library Information Naru. Fourth, each integrated library must that data generated from local community engagement services can be utilized as an enriced content service.

This study aims to construct faceted navigation useful for domestic users through analyzing English and North American public libraries' faceted navigations. The 19 domestic libraries and the 12 foreign libraries has been chosen for analyzing their unique facets. Although the domestic libraries' facets had no differences to the domestic universities' facets, the North American libraries have their unique facets. Those facets are target audience, genre, library list, user tags, and availability related facets and the facets are mainly to improve user's usability in using library catalog. Adopting the facets in domestic public libraries by using Fixed-Length data elements of KORMARC, domestic public libraries will enhance usability of library users in retrieving library materials.
