Due to the dramatic increase in usage of smart phones, mobile applications offer a promising public communication channel to effect behavioral change in areas such as energy saving. For this, identifying relationships between applications and behavioral change would be useful for public institutions to formulate more effective public communication strategies. Based on a design science approach, this study examines the effect of design factors of public service-oriented mobile applications such as personalization, accessibility, and representation richness on users' cognitive and affective attitudes. Their effects on behavioral outcome are also investigated. The results of the analysis show that most design factors contribute significantly to the cognitive and affective attitudes of users. In turn, cognitive attitudes affect users' behavioral change in terms of energy saving, while affective attitudes are positively associated with the average usage time of mobile applications and behavioral changes in terms of energy saving.

The purpose of this study is to derive evaluation elements on teen space in public libraries in Korea and to study current status and implications for teen space in public libraries. To this end, six items of space evaluation factors; Convenience, Accessibility, Safety, Diversity, Comfort and Emotionality - were derived based on the teen space guidelines by the Young Adult Library Service Association and previous studies. The research also conducted a case study on teen spaces of five public libraries in Seoul. As a result, teen space in libraries requires use guidance and convenience facilities, access to information resources, maintenance of user guidelines, various spaces for teens, pleasant library environment and learning motivation promotion, and provision space to support all necessary resources of teens.

The concept of the sharing economy, which has shifted the economic paradigm from possession to access to resources, is consistent with the traditional and current roles of public libraries. Thus, this research empirically analyzed the influence relationships between public library use and the sharing economy. Results showed that participation in public library programs serves as a motivational factor for satisfaction with and trust in the sharing economy, while the use of public library facilities and equipment is correlated with attitudes toward and participation in the sharing economy. The use of library collections positively influences sharing intangible resources such as knowledge, information, and personal experience. By contrast, checking out library resources negatively influences the recognition of economic benefits from sharing, which is contrary to claims of library communities. Based on these results, public libraries should aim to have a complementary effect on the sharing economy founded not only on information networks but also human networks grounded in social relationships.

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.

2006년 초반부터 한국의 IT 경쟁력을 기반하여 도시 계획 및 공공 단지에 USP(Ubiquitous Strategy Planning)의 접근 방법을 적용하여 각 지역 지방자치단계 및 공공 주택 사업 단지 조성에 활용하고 있다. 그러나 그 결과물을 보면 초고속 인터넷을 이용한 생활에 필요 할 것이라 생각이 되는 정보화 사업 방향으로 결말이 되고 있다. 물론 약간의 차이는 있지만 실제 서비스 중심의 사고 에서 본다면 USP를 통하여 얻을 수 있는 것은 매우 현실적으로 공감을 가지기가 어렵다. 그러나 녹색 경영을 중심의 USP 접근 방법은 서비스와 이익을 동시에 제공 한다는 점에서 그 공감대 형성 및 새로운 Vision을 보인다는 것에서 새로운 시도가 될 것이다.

1980 년대부터 각 기관에서는 기관별로 보유하고 있는 정보를 전산화고 있으며, 또한 구축한 행정정보를 공동 활용하고자 하는 노력과 움직임이 활발하게 추진되어 오고있다. 특히 1998 년 $\ulcorner$행정정보 공동이용에 관한 규정(대통령령 제 1574 호)$\lrcorner$ 이 마련되었고 행정자치부는 정보공동활용에 필요한 표준화 작업을 실시하였다. 또한 정보통신부는 1998 년부터 공공정보의 민간이용 활성화계획을 수립하여 공공정보를 필요로 하는 민간기관 및 민간에게 필요정보를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 행정정보는 기관별 업무별로 독립적으로 생성되어 행정기관에서 정보 접근시 각각 접근해야 하는 불편함이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 각 기관별 업무별로 구축되어진 행정정보를 공동으로 접근하기 위하여 메타데이터레지스트리를 기반으로 한 사용자 인터페이스에 대하여 설계하였다.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain librarian's perceptions on their users' library access and its patterns. Interviews with seven library staff reveal physical accessibility issues including spatial relationships between libraries and other facilities such as shopping malls and schools, travel distance, transportation mode, and temporal perspectives of library access. The results from the interviews corroborate the findings from secondary analysis using household travel data. However, interviewees do not have a clear picture of how much their users travel and spend to access their libraries. This is true, even though these factors are critical to analyze physical accessibility. Based on the findings, this study makes recommendations to improve the accessibility of public libraries. Suggestions include the concept of sponsorships with other facilities, the placing of material drop-boxes on the main route, and providing library programs during lunch time.

According to increasing the benefits from public libraries, there are many studies for measuring the library value. This study presents a methodology for measuring use value of the public library in terms of time value, surplus value of alternative service, value of library service, and overall value of library. The cost-benefit ratio of the time value compared to library's annual budget is 11:1, and the cost-benefit ratio of the overall library value was measured by user's WTP is 0.3:1. This study proposed the method for measuring use value of the public library according to the process, the results of these measurments for each value and the factors affecting the values.

올해 초 한국 전자정부가 유엔에서 연속 세계 정상수준으로 평가 받았다. 이는 지난 20여 년간 약 20여조의 예산을 정보화 부문에 투자한 결과라 해도 과언이 아니다. 다른 한편에서는 그동안 국가정보화를 추진하면서 기투자한 정보자원에 대한 운영부담이 가중되고 있다. 이제 정보자원들을 어떻게 관리하고 활용할 것인가는 공공부문에서 중요한 현안이 되고 있다. 이는 주위 환경변화에 따른 정보자원의 의미와 가치를 재점검할 필요성과 바뀐 상황에 맞게 체계화가 필요한 시기임을 시사하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 문제의식을 갖고 공공부분의 정보자원관리에 대한 전반적 상황에 대한 개관과 함께 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 지금까지는 정보자원을 조직 활동을 위한 투입요소의 시각에서만 접근했지만, 향후는 조직 활동 수행에 필수적인 정보자산의 개념으로 접근해야 할 필요성이 있다. 이를 위해 공공부문 정보자원관리에 대한 제반현상을 문서중심으로 조망하고 이에 따른 대응방안을 살펴보고자 한다. 이 연구결과는 정보자원 관리와 관련된 업무 및 연구를 할 때 정책적 시사점으로 참조하거나, 향후 실증적인 관련연구를 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
