With the advent of the Web 2.0 technology, its versatility has been experienced through various web sites. Consequently, many library users request to implement this technology into the library information system. Here this paper try to increase our understanding of the concept and technology of the Web 2.0, Library 2.0. and Catalog 2.0(OPAC 2.0) through literature survey. Also, this paper try to figure out the most applicable technology to the library information system by analyzing the representative web sites and libraries equipped with Web 2.0 technology. Finally, based on the analysis results, this study suggests an applicable practical plans in the field of catalog, retrieval and auxiliary services toward the user-friendly library information system. We also indicate several side effects expected with the implementation of the suggested plans.

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.

This research investigated user satisfaction and importance of OPAC2.0 services in university libraries for book search result. This research analyzed OPAC2.0 services in university libraries focusing on book search result, user satisfaction with and importance in services, difference in satisfaction and importance, and grade and satisfaction. As a result of the investigation and analysis, OPAC2.0 services given the most was the service of 'portal site linkage'. Generally, the satisfaction with OPAC2.0 services was 2.07 in average, 'very dissatisfactory'. The service considered to be the most important was 'service item'. The difference between satisfaction and importance showed dissatisfactory result, compared with importance in general. The grade and the general difference in satisfaction didn't appear. On the basis of the analysis result mentioned above, with the purpose of the improvement in OPAC2.0 services focusing on book search result, it is necessary to manage users continuously by publicizing libraries concerning respective services, introducing use guide, offering a variety of services, improving quality, and offering information.

This study examined the main concepts of SOA and Web Services, and conducted technical analysis of major Web Services protocols such as SOAP, REST, SRW/U, and OAI-PMH that realize SOA, and suggested examples of SOAP and REST based Web Services establishments in foreign and domestic libraries respectively. In addition, it introduced application examples of Library 2.0 using Web 2.0 technology in foreign and domestic libraries and suggested how to apply SOA based Web Services protocol in Library 2.0. Finally, it proposed how to put Library 2.0 into practice applying meta-searching system integrating library OPAC, online bookstores, web portal sites and library union catalogs using REST based Open API.

The development of IT (information technology) has brought about many types of new services, and the traditional sectors such as libraries and information management fields have actively applied new technology to improve the quality of their services. Many of these newly developed services are described under the term 'Web 2.0', in the sense they are next-generation forms of services, and this coinage is duplicated in the term 'Library 2.0', specifically referring to the library services equipped with Web 2.0 technology. Active acceptance of advanced IT to library services is very important to enhance the value and role of library in this rapidly changing information environment. So far, libraries in Korea and abroad have already been putting a lot of efforts and resources to develop and provide technically advanced services. Despite these efforts, it is found that some of these new services have failed to attract users' attention and interest, resulting in the low rates of usage. This study, therefore, reviews current state of the "Folksonomy" based services provided in Korean college libraries as a type of Library 2.0 services, and assess their usage rates. The result of this evaluation is then used to develop a guideline to improve and mobilize the use of such services.
