In order to appreciate the varied activities of university libraries, this study assesses their efficiencies in the process of production and utilization of their services for two consecutive years, 1999 and 2000. Using a Data Envelopment Analysis with exogenously fixed factors, this study analyses separately efficiencies identified. The results show that efficiencies of libraries appear differently according to the year of evaluation, the dimension of evaluation as well as the difference of statute. The specialized libraries as CADIST are definitely higher in terms of use of services. In addition, inefficiency is mainly due to deficits of production of outputs rather than excesses of utilisation of inputs. For example, time devoted to user's training constitutes the most significant potentiality of increase in the production of services.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differential evidence of the effects of management style on job satisfactiori and library performance in the liriiversity of Souther~l Misiissippi's Cook hlcmorial Library. No significa~it hfferences were foutid between management style arid job sarisfartio~t or. between management style and selected performance characteristics of the library ill tlw study. But r l e professional group differed from the no~i-professiotial group on job satisfactiori at rlw 0. 10 levc! of significance. Specially, the professional group differed significantly from the non-profcssiorial group ill iut rinsic sources of job satisfactior, !at the 0.02 level of significancej.

This Paper assesses the relative efficiency of public library services by examining the relationship between library inputs and library outputs in library systems. Using Data Envelopment Analysis, this study derives efficiency scores in the provision of library services for 21 public libraries in Seoul. The data are survey observations for 2002. We employ total holdings, total serials, and total acquisitions as inputs, and total circulations and reader visits as outputs. The result shows that the subject libraries operate at just $71\%$ efficiency, i.e., inputs could be reduced by one-three without sacrificing output if all libraries were as efficient as the benchmark 4 identified by DEA. Too many total collections are the main source of inefficiency.

This study tried to evaluate the usability of web-based academic library services delivered to users in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction. 13 subjects were randomly selected on the voluntary basis in Duksung Women's University Library from Dec. 15, 2001 to Feb. 27, 2002. They were given six kinds of tasks related to the use of library services through the library website. 3.6 tasks out of 6 were given right answers by subjects, with success rate of 60% and average spent time of 2 minutes and 22 seconds. The most effective library services on the website was a book search with success rate of 100%. However the least effective service was journal article search with success rate of 23.1% . The most efficient library service on the web was a book search. 100% of subjects found the answer in 42.2 seconds, while the least efficient library service was journal article search in which 23.1% of subjects found the answer in 271.7 seconds. Subjects were highly satisfied with the book request service on the web since it is the easiest to understand and the most convenient to use.

효율성 평가는 그동안 주로 영리를 추구하는 기업들의 주된 관심사였다. 이에 반해 학교, 도서관 및 정부단체 등 비영리조직을 대상으로 한 성과평가는 이들 조직의 존립목적이 특별할 뿐만 아니라 조직활동의 성과인 산출물에 대한 계량화가 어렵다는 이유로 방치되어 왔다. 그러나 최근 들어 비영리조직에 대한 효율성이 이슈로 등장하면서 이러한 기관을 대상으로 한 효율성 측정방법론에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 프랑스의 경우, 공공서비스의 효율성 또는 생산성 측정의 방안으로 가장 널리 이용되고 있는 방법론은 전문가집단에 의한 항목별 평가다.

The supply of public libraries in Korea has been rapidly improving because of the recent increase for cultural demands and revitalization of the local culture. This paper aims to analyze the efficiency about 565 public libraries using Clustering DEA/AHP(CDA) model. This model is employed the efficiency analysis in order to incorporate project irreversibility and division due to the limit of resources spending. The results shows that the public libraries are divided into three groups which are large size libraries(Group 1), middle size libraries(Group 2) and small size libraries(Group 3). Their average efficiency was found as 0.89, 0.72 and 0.60 each.

최근의 전자도서관에서 문서영상 데이터베이스를 구축하여 사용자에게 원하는 정보의 원문을 그대로 서비스하고 있는데, 주로 200 dpi 문서영상에 대해 TIFF 영상포맷에서의 ITU-T T.6 압축방법을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 문서영상 데이터베이스의 확장성, 지속성, 효율성 등을 고려하여, 문서 영상의 스캐닝 해상도의 600 dpi가 적당하며, 압축방법은 JBIG이 타당함을 제시하였다. 아울러, 모니터 및 프린터 기반 서비스의 특성을 분석하여 서비스 해상도를 차별화하는 방법인 단계별 서비스 방안을 제시함으로써 JBIG의 단점인 과다한 복구시간 문제를 해결하였다. 대표적인 문서영상들에 대한 실험을 통해, JBIG의 높은 압축율 및 제시된 단계별 서비스 방안의 타당성을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to provide directions for more effective and efficient service for library user by evaluating and analyzing library service access points on university library homepages. 69 national/public and private university libraries throughout the country are selected by stratified sampling method. The items used for evaluation are composed of 4 areas and 23 questions, and SPSS 12.0 is used for statistical analysis. The results are elicited through the hypothesis testing, and some suggestions are made for the effective university library homepage service.

본 연구의 의의는 웹을 기반으로 한 이용자교육 시스템을 구축하여 웹 기반 대학도서관 이용자교육의 효율성을 검증해 보고자 함에 있다. 효율성 검증을 위해서 이용자교육시스템을 구축한 뒤 웹 기반 이용자교육의 참여유무를 독립변인으로 하고 피실험자들의 전반적인 서비스에 대한 인식도 및 도서관 자료활용능력을 종속변인으로 하여 이들의 차이를 서로 비교, 평가해 보자 한다.

도서관 경영은 일반기업의 경영과는 달리 도서관 자체의 특수성을 최대한으로 고려한 관리기술이 필요하다. 또한, 어느 조직이든 인적자원이 중요한 조직의 요소가 되지만, 도서관의 경우 지적인 정보서비스가 이루어지는 곳이므르 특히 인적자원의 중요성이 더 높다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 도서관 직원의 직무만족은 도서관 조직의 목표달성을 위해 매우 중요한 역할을 하며, 직원의 직무만족을 높일 수 있는 리더십인 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 도서관 직원의 직무만족과 리더십 간의 관계를 규명하므로써, 도서관의 주 목표인 정보제공의 효율성을 달성하는데 기여하고자 한다.
