This study analyzes the effects of community-level socioeconomic deprivations (SED) on public libraries' book circulation in the Seoul metropolitan area. The study design draws upon the theory of local information landscapes, which explains the relationship between community characteristics and information behavior. Using four-year (2015-2018) open government and public library circulation data, we constructed a socioeconomic deprivation index by adjusting a multi-dimensional deprivation index and generated other variables. Multi-level robust linear regression models were used to examine the relationship between SED and public library circulation. In addition, we tested the moderating effects of the library collection size and the number of libraries per unit area, respectively, on library circulation. The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and library circulation rate. Also, we found that the size of the library collection negatively moderates the effects of SED in areas with a large number of books, and the number of libraries per unit area was positvely related to the library book circulation, not moderating the effects of SED. These findings suggest that public libraries and policymakers should consider community characteristics in designing strategic plans for public libraries.

도서관리시스템에 RFID를 활용하면 도서의 대출 반납이 자동화되는 등 많은 이점이 있다. 하지만 이를 이용하더라도 도서의 정확한 위치를 파악하는 것은 어려운데, 본 연구팀은 R-LIM2의 개발을 통해 도서의 위치파악 기능을 제공한 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 색인된 도서의 위치까지 안내하여 주는 내비게이션 모듈과, 도서위치를 담고 있는 DB를 보다 손쉽게 구축할 수 있는 모듈을 개발하여 기존 R-LIM2 시스템의 기능을 향상시키고자 하였다.

Although domestic public libraries achieved quantitative growth based on the 1st and 2nd comprehensive library development plans, there were some qualitative shortcomings, and various studies have been conducted to improve them. Most of the preceding studies have limitations in that they are limited to social and economic factors and statistical analysis. Therefore, in this study, by applying the spatiotemporal concept to quantitatively calculate the decrease in public library loan demand due to rainfall and heatwave, by clustering areas with high demand for book loan due to weather changes and areas where it is not, factors inside and outside public libraries and After the combination, changes in public library loan demand according to weather changes were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, there was a difference in the decrease due to the weather for each public library, and it was found that there were some differences depending on the characteristics and spatial location of the public library. Also, when the temperature was over 35℃, the decrease in book loan demand increased significantly. As internal factors, the number of seats, the number of books, and area were derived. As external factors, the public library access ramp, cafe, reading room, floating population in their teens, and floating population of women in their 30s/40s were analyzed as important variables. The results of this analysis are judged to contribute to the establishment of policies to promote the use of public libraries in consideration of the weather in a specific season, and also suggested limitations of the study.

코로나19로 인한 언택트 문화의 확산으로 오프라인 중심의 소비를 주 매출로 하는 매장은 많은 어려움에 처해 있다. 또한 부외수입과 실용적 소비를 추구하는 사람들이 늘어나면서 온라인 중고거래 플랫폼이 성장하고 있으며, 특히 중고도서는 거래액이 크지 않아 수요가 많은 품목이다. 그러나 공유를 통한 도서대출 서비스는 편의성 높은 플랫폼 부재와 도서전달을 위한 비용문제가 있으며 다양한 서비스 또한 부재한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 가정마다 보유한 도서의 활용률 제고와 매장의 이용 활성화를 위한 매장거점 도서공유 방법을 제안하여 사용자의 접근성이 높은 매장 내에 설치된 북박스를 통한 딜리버리 서비스를 통해 도서 전달비용 절감과 중고도서의 단순매매가 아닌 대여 서비스가 가능한 장점이 있고, 오프라인매장에서 도서전달뿐만 아니라 도서를 이용할 수 있게 하여 도서이용의 상시성과 다양한 매장과의 다양한 프로모션을 통해 매장 이용 활성화가 가능한 장점이 있다.

The aim of this study is supporting efficient development of library collection and improvement of library service for users by analyzing utilization patterns of library collection using circulation statistics of medical library users. With this purpose, circulation statistics were extracted from 90,420 cases of circulation records in A library for recent 3 years (from 2012 to 2014). Specifically, circulation data categorized according to status and subject, loan data of most popular books and use data of inter-library loan service were collected and analyzed. Subject groups of this study are undergraduate students, graduate students and incumbent hospital employees including faculty members, training members and nondoctor members. For the result, medical library users intensively lent materials of Technology (Applied Sciences), Literature and Social science areas. Especially, the demand of the materials of literature was higher than the demand of the other subject areas compared in the base of collection development.

In this study, we analyzed Circulation data of Law library in the S university for one year in 2018 and analyzed whether the Library holdings are actually used for education and research. First of all, this study analyzed user patterns by analyzing subjects, languages, and publication years for books that were circulated for one year from the ALMA system which is an S university library system. In addition, we analyzed how the current library holdings were used or cited in course syllabi and research papers written by members in S university. The results from this study can be used as an important basic data for effective collection development.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of preference books according to the children's personality types. For this study, the analytical criteria of preference books was made through literature review and investigated the contents of the borrowed books of 6th grade students collected from 3 elementary school libraries. This study found that the characteristics of preference books differ according to the children's personality types. Based on the results of this study, new reading education programs according to various personality types are expected to be developed.

The purpose of this study is to propose a book recommendation system that can be used in school libraries. The book recommendation system applies an algorithm based on association rules using DLS lending data and is designed to provide personalized book recommendation services to school library users. For this purpose, association rules based on the Apriori algorithm and betweenness centrality analysis were applied and detailed functions such as descriptive statistics, generation of association rules, student-centered recommendation, and book-centered recommendation were materialized. Subsequently, opinions on the use of the book recommendation system were investigated through in-depth interviews with teacher librarians. As a result of the investigation, opinions on the necessity and difficulty of book recommendation, student responses, differences from existing recommendation methods, utilization methods, and improvements were confirmed and based on this, the following discussions were proposed. First, it is necessary to provide long-term lending data to understand the characteristics of each school. Second, it is necessary to discuss the data integration plan by region or school characteristics. Third, It is necessary to establish a book recommendation system provided by the Comprehensive Support System for Reading Education. Based on the contents proposed in this study, it is expected that various discussions will be made on the application of a personalization recommendation system that can be used in the school library in the future.

This paper conducted the empirical analysis of the behaviors revealed in the eight size distributions of the public libraries in Korea. As a result, the behaviors of complex system appeared in all eight size factors. This means that the sizes of public libraries in Korea were highly polarized. Especially, the zipf's law were found in the size factors such as gross area, number of staffs, volume of books, total budget. And the highly uneven distributions were occurred in the size factors such as membership, number of users, number of borrowers, number of borrowed books. This research outcomes show that a new policy of public libraries is needed to resolve the polarization revealed in the sizes of public libraries in Korea.
