In this study, an ILL request system was implemented using Z39.50 item order extended service. ILL requests in this system are initiated by users through a gateway acting as a Z39.50 origin for searching remote catalog databases. When users initiate a request while searching OPACs of other libraries, an extended service request PDU for item order is first sent to the home library which subsequently generates an ILL protocol message to be sent to the target library. This approach enables users to request an item online while searching. and at the same time allows the home library to retain control over the ILL transaction.

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.

미술분야의 경우 타주제분야와는 달리 정보이용에 있어서 시각적인 중요성(Visual Significance)이 특히 강조된다. 따라서 이용자들이 미술연구 및 작품활동ㆍ감상시 원작품이나, 원작품이 미술관에 소장되어 있지 않을 경우 원작품을 가장 본질에 가깝게 제공하는 대용매체인 시각자료에 대한 요구도가 다른 자료에 비해 훨씬 높을 것이라는 가정을 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 가정을 근거로 과연 이용자들이 미술도서관을 통하여 시각자료만을 집중적으로 이용하는지, 아니며 다른 자료를 더 이용하는지, 그렇다면 그 이유는 무엇인지를 밝혀서 미술도서관 이용자에게 보다 더 효율적인 정보봉사를 제공할 수 있는 이론적 근거를 마련하고자 한다.
