The increased interest in consumer health information(CHI) has brought about a rapid increase in CHI resources. There are diverse means for obtaining such information, and one CHI acquisition route is the public library. In the U.S. public libraries, the demand for CHI reference services is increasing, and a variety of projects to promote these services are in progress. On the other hand, Korean public library services for CHI is at a very basic level, and thus a very small amount of such research could be found. This study drew suggestions from a literature review of research studies in the U.S. and Canada, and analyzed public library CHI services in Korea. The findings are as follows. 1) Only 17.25% of public libraries in Korea provided CHI service, and it evidences very low needs and awareness for CHI services in Korea. 2) Only three kinds of services including CHI-related websites, users training, and promotional and marketing were provided, and only 13(1.74%) of libraries surveyed offered more than two kinds of services. 3) There were no CHI librarians, nor did any librarians receive CHI-related education. 4) ILL services, outreach services, and cooperation with CHI- and medical-related institutions for CHI services were not found. Therefore, this study suggests that more research on delivery strategies for CHI services should be conducted in the future.

IT 업계에도 저탄소 녹색 성장을 추구하는 Green IT 시대가 찾아왔다. 이에 따라 여러 IT 기업들에서 IT 자원을 소유하지 않고 빌려 쓰는 형태의 클라우드 컴퓨팅이 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 기존의 조직이 유지 보수에 사용하던 인력과 비용을 감소시킬 수 있다는 점에서 경제적 이익을 창출하고 있다. 그러나 다수의 이해당사자(Mlti-tenant)가 존재하는 공공 클라우드 환경에서는 사용자의 인증이 보안 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 공공 클라우드 환경에서 신뢰할 수 있는 클라우드 서비스를 제공하기 위한 사용자 인증 방법을 제시한다. 사용자는 계약관계로 맺어진 클라우드와 조직사이에서 클라우드 서비스를 제공받으며 조직으로부터 인증 받는다. 클라우드에서는 조직에서 제공하는 인증 정보와 클라우드의 서비스 제공 정책으로 이루어진 보안연계를 통해 사용자를 확인함으로써 사용자에게 적합한 서비스를 제공한다.

Young adults are not met adequately by the traditional public library service patterns, being compared for children and adults even though they belong to the main user groups in number. Adolescence is a unique developmental stage distinct from childhood and adulthood and it is fair to say that today's young adults face complex present and confusing future. Projects are made to address the full spectrum of the young adults needs and the important role of public libraries as partners to solve the social youth problems in the USA. The library professional organizations issued young adult service guidelines, recommendations, and manuals to assist public libraries to offer good service programs to young adults. This paper provides the basics of young adult services in the public libraries to help Korean public libraries acknowledge the importance of young adult services and improve the framework of young adult services.
