Open Science Project, which enables users to access and utilize public research results in a digital format, is being actively promoted overseas, and American university libraries are interested in research support service. Among the three OECD implementation measures, 'capacity building' can be effectively prepared through librarians' research support services. Therefore, this study investigated the policy of research support service implemented in leading American 13 university libraries in preparation for the open science era focusing on the recent literatures and library websites. Based on the best cases of research support service of American university libraries, I analyzed the homepage of 19 domestic research universities' library focusing on scholarly communication service and suggested improvements. In Korea, open access service and management of research data are lacking in terms of experience and expertise. This study result can be used as a basic reference when establishing the research support service plan needed in the open science era in the university library and can contribute to the improvement of the research ability of domestic researchers by introducing internationally competitive research support services.

Mobile accessibility was assessed by conducting mobileOK test for the mobile websites of the same libraries. The study shows that university libraries in Korea should establish mobile websites focusing on key contents which reflect the demand for mobile information of users, and secure mobile web accessibility which the users could conveniently use.

Almost all of the 33 university libraries selected the subject of investigation have offered the on-line reference service, e-mail pushing service, and full text constructions out of the 11 knowledge management system elements presented in this study, but the other services else have been offered by less than half the number of the libraries. The findings suggest to greatly improve the current services of libraries such as information education and selective dissemination of information, and immediately to introduce new systems including e-book and wireless service systems in order to the university competitiveness. The study implies that each library has already introduced the knowledge management systems, in proportion to a budget of the library, ifs librarian number, and a degree restructuring organization, and that an introduction of knowledge management systems such as policy and culture of organization, its librarian number, and its related security of budget takes the most important role in improving services of a library.

스마트폰이 보편화되고 스마트폰으로 정보를 습득하고자 하는 요구가 증가함에 따라 모바일로 서비스를 제공하는 대학도서관도 증가하고 있다. 모바일 서비스를 제공하는 대학도서관이 증가하면서 모바일 서비스로 제공되는 콘텐츠에 대한 고려가 필요할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 모바일 서비스를 제공하는 대학도서관 2곳을 선정하여, 대학생들이 모바일 서비스를 이용하는 데 영향을 미치는 요인은 무엇인가 알아보고 모바일 서비스의 이용도에 따라 상 중 하 집단으로 나누어 각 집단이 선호하는 콘텐츠의 차이를 알아보았다. 그 결과 대학생의 학년과 모바일 서비스에 대해 인지된 유용성, 유비쿼터스 접속성이 모바일 서비스 이용도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, '자료 검색', '시설 예약', '대출사항 조회' 등의 콘텐츠들이 자주 이용되며 이용자 집단 간의 차이는 대학별로 다르게 나타났다.
