This study was performed in order to provide suggestions on how to strengthen librarian competency by evaluating and analyzing the competency value of librarians as information professions. First, the study divided the common competency value of librarians as human capital of libraries into skills, knowledge, behavior and attitude, and analyzed each area of competency value for librarians of the A-library. As a result, the average of the 'librarian's behavior and attitude' area was the highest, followed by the 'librarian's skill' area and the 'librarian's knowledge' area. Second, in terms of 'librarian's skill', A-library librarians' competence values were high in the order of 'communication', 'leadership', 'technology' and in the terms of 'librarian's knowledge' ones were high in the order of 'law and policy', 'marketing', 'learning and growth' and 'finance and accounting'. In addition, in areas of 'librarian's behavior and attitude', the factors were high in the order of 'ethics and values', 'interpersonal relationships' and 'customer service'. Third, the analysis of whether the average difference exists depending on the characteristics of A-library librarians on their evaluation of the competency value shows that only the 'working period' factor in the total competency value and the two factors 'age' and 'working period' were statistically significant in the 'librarian's knowledge' area. Forth, as a result of a regression analysis to identify the characteristics of A-library librarians and their impact on competency value, only the 'final education' factor was statistically significant for the competency value of the 'librarian's skill' area. Fifth, in the survey on problems and desirable improvement measures in increasing the competency value of librarians, the proportion of presenting problems and improvement plan in systemic aspects such as the 'librarian qualification system' and 'librarian training system' was high.

For efficient and precise searches in the Web environment, resources should be coded in a structured way. HTML does not cover semantic structure because of its fixed tagging. XML, which has emerged as an alternative standard markuplanguage, uses custom tags that allow structural searching. Therefore, this study aims to compare XML with HTML in terms of their characteristics and retrieval functions. In order to test retrieval functions of XML- and HTML-based systems, we constructed an experimental XML-based system. The XML-based system has several advantages over the HTML system. However, some improvements are needed to make the XML system more comprehensive and effective. First, XML document search engines with user-friendly interfaces are needed. Second, popular Web browsers such as Explorer and Communicator need to support XML 1.0 specification completely. Third, Open DTD format, which will allow information retrieval systems to retrieve documents and compress them into one single format, is also needed to control Web documents more efficiently.

Recently, the interests in the 3D image, generated from the range data and CAD, have exceedingly increased, accordingly a various 3D image database is being constructed. The efficient and fast scheme to access the desired image data is the important issue in the application area of the Internet and digital library. However, it is difficult to manage the 3D image database because of its huge size. Therefore, a proper descriptor is necessary to manage the data efficiently, including the content-based search. In this paper, the proposed shape descriptor is based on the voxelization of the 3D image. The medial axis transform, stemming from the mathematical morphology, is performed on the voxelized 3D image and the graph, which is composed of node and edge, is generated from skeletons. The generated graph is adequate to the novel shape descriptor due to no loss of geometric information and the similarity of the insight of the human. Therefore the proposed shape descriptor would be useful for the recognition of 3D object, compression, and content-based search.

광기록의 역사는 1980년대초 Sony와 Philips가 공동 개발한 CD (compact disc: 640MB)의 출현으로부터 시작하여 1996년의 DVD (digital versatile disc: 4.7GB)를 거쳐 최근의 BD (Blu-ray disc: >20GB)에까지 이르고 있다. Read-only memory, recordable, rewritable 등 다양한 저장 및 재생방식이 존재하는데, 이는 레이저 조사에 의한 기록매체의 특성변화의 가역성 (reversibility)에 의존하므로 저장 및 재생방식에 따라 저장매체 또한 다르게 된다. 기록용량의 증가는 레이저의 파장이 짧아지고 동시에 사용된 렌즈의 개구수 (NA: Numerical aperture)가 증가함에 따른 빔 spot size의 감소에 기인한다. 회절한계를 극복하여 빔의 spot size를 줄이고자 하는 연구는 현재도 전세계적으로 활발히 이루어지고 있고 이러한 노력의 일환으로 어느 정도의 추가적인 저장용량 증가는 가능할 수 있으나, 2차원 방식으로는 대용량 광정보기록 (수백 GB ${\sim}$ TB급)의 실현은 불가능하다는 것이 일반적인 예상이다. 한편 장기적으로 기존의 2차원 정보기록방식을 대체하고 저장용량을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 bit-type 3차원 광정보기록의 개념이 1990년을 전.후로 처음으로 제시되었다. 이는 2차원 bit 정보가 수십 내지 수백 개의 다층 (multi-layer) 형태로 기록되는 방식인데, 그동안 산업체의 관심이 상대적으로 높지 않았던 이유는 영화, 음악 등 엔터테인먼트 시장성 확대를 위해 Blu-ray disc나 HD-DVD에 대한 연구개발에 치중해왔기 때문이다. 하지만 최근 급변하는 정보시스템 서비스 환경 속에서 정보유통량이 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있고 개인이 취급하는 정보량도 2010년경에는 수백 GB 단위가 될 것으로 예상되고 있으며 디지털 방송, 네트워크를 기반으로 한 서비스 수요 뿐 만 아니라 전자도서관이나 VOD (Video on Demand) 서비스 사업에 필수적인 수 TB급의 대용량 저장장치에 대한 수요 또한 크게 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 이에 따라 점차 그 물리적 한계에 다다르고 있는 기존의2차원 정보저장방식을 대체하고 저장용량을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있는3차원 정보기록(> $10^{13}$ $bits/cm^3$)에 대한 필요성이 대두된다.

This study investigated whether applying the Project-Based Learning in LIS education affects students' self-efficacy for group work in a positive direction and if the authenticity of the project has any relationship with their self-efficacy for group work. 26 students were surveyed before and after they took the "Evaluating Digital Library Systems" course with the same set of questions asking about their perceptions on the individuals' capabilities to successfully perform group tasks and their perceptions about the project's authenticity. The paired sample t-test showed statistically significant differences between the results of the pre- and post-test, in terms of their capabilities as a leader as well as exchanging, evaluating, and integrating ideas when performing group activities. In addition, the authenticity of the project's task shows some correlation with subfactors of students' self-efficacy for group work.

문서영상 검색을 위한 디지털도서관의 대부분은 논문제목과/또는 논문요약으로부터 만들어진 색인에 근거한 제한적인 검색기능을 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영문 문서영상전체에 대한 검색을 위한 단어 영상 형태 특징기반의 단어검색시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 검색의 효율성과 정확도를 높이기 위해 1) 기존의 단어검색시스템에서 사용된 특징들을 조합하여 사용하며, 2) 특징의 개수 및 위치뿐만 아니라 특징들의 순서를 포함하여 매칭하는 방법을 사용하며, 3) 특징비교에 의해 검색결과를 얻은 후에 여과목적으로 문자인식을 부분적으로 적용하는 2단계의 검색방법을 사용한다. 제안된 시스템의 동작은 다음과 같다. 문서 영상이 주어지면, 문서 영상 구조가 분석되고 단어 영역들의 조합으로 분할된다. 단어 영상의 특징들이 추출되어 저장된다. 사용자의 텍스트 질의가 주어지면 이에 대응되는 단어 영상이 만들어지며 이로부터 영상특징이 추출된다. 이 참조 특징과 저장된 특징들과 비교하여 유사한 단어를 검색하게 된다. 제안된 시스템은 IBM-PC를 이용한 웹 환경에서 구축되었으며, 영문 문서영상을 이용하여 실험이 수행되었다. 실험결과는 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법들의 유효성을 보여주고 있다. Abstract Most existing digital libraries for document image retrieval provide a limited retrieval service due to their indexing from document titles and/or the content of document abstracts. This paper proposes a word spotting system for full English document image retrieval based on word image shape features. In order to improve not only the efficiency but also the precision of a retrieval system, we develop the system by 1) using a combination of the holistic features which have been used in the existing word spotting systems, 2) performing image matching by comparing the order of features in a word in addition to the number of features and their positions, and 3) adopting 2 stage retrieval strategies by obtaining retrieval results by image feature matching and applying OCR(Optical Charater Recognition) partly to the results for filtering purpose. The proposed system operates as follows: given a document image, its structure is analyzed and is segmented into a set of word regions. Then, word shape features are extracted and stored. Given a user's query with text, features are extracted after its corresponding word image is generated. This reference model is compared with the stored features to find out similar words. The proposed system is implemented with IBM-PC in a web environment and its experiments are performed with English document images. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

This paper is to grasp the current trends of national bibliographies through analyzing representative national bibliographies using literature review, analysis of national bibliographies' web pages and survey. First, in order to conform to the definition of a national bibliography as a record of a national publication, it attempts to include a variety of materials from print to electronic resources, but in reality it cannot contain all the materials, so there are exceptions. It is impossible to create a general selection guide for national bibliography coverage, and a plan that reflects the national characteristics and prepares a valid and comprehensive coverage based on analysis is needed. Second, cooperation with publishers and libraries is being made to efficiently generate national bibliography. For the efficiency of national bibliography generation, changes should be sought such as the standardization and consistency, the collection level metadata description for digital resources, and the creation of national bibliography using linked data. Third, national bibliography is published through the national bibliographic online search system, linked data search, MARC download using PDF, OAI-PMH, SRU, Z39.50, and mass download in RDF/XML format, and is integrated with the online public access catalog or also built separately. Above all, national bibliographies and online public access catalogs need to be built in a way of data reuse through an integrated library system. Fourth, as a differentiated function for national bibliography, various services such as user tagging and national bibliographic statistics are provided along with various browsing functions. In addition, services of analysis of national bibliographic big data, links to electronic publications, and mass download of linked data should be provided, and it is necessary to identify users' needs and provide open services that reflect them in order to develop differentiated services. Through the current trends and considerations of the national bibliographies analyzed in this study, it will be possible to explore changes in national and international national bibliography.

Visualization of documents will help users when they do search similar documents. and all research in information retrieval addresses itself to the problem of a user with an information need facing a data source containing an acceptable solution to that need. In various contexts. adequate solutions to this problem have included alphabetized cubbyholes housing papyrus rolls. microfilm registers. card catalogs and inverted files coded onto discs. Many information retrieval systems rely on the use of a document surrogate. Though they might be surprise to discover it. nearly every information seeker uses an array of document surrogates. Summaries. tables of contents. abstracts. reviews, and MARC recordsthese are all document surrogates. That is, they stand infor a document allowing a user to make some decision regarding it. whether to retrieve a book from the stacks, whether to read an entire article, etc. In this paper another type of document surrogate is investigated using a grouping method of term list. lising Multidimensional Scaling Method (MDS) those surrogates are visualized on two-dimensional graph. The distances between dots on the two-dimensional graph can be represented as the similarity of the documents. More close the distance. more similar the documents.

Korea has a high standard of IT environment to serve exhibit programs through the web with internet propagation and IT technology. However, the web exhibition of public institutions not only seem to introduce off-line exhibitions but also not to invigorate. It is caused by the lack of awareness, the cost of system installation and the lack of professional manpower. In this situation, OMEKA could suggest practical solutions to archives where need their own exhibition through the web. Especially, it would helpful for small record management organizations which are not enough budget and personal. OMEKA is an open source software program for digital collection and contents management. It has an affinity with users unlike traditional archives service programs. It also has been variously used by libraries, museums and schools because of exceptional exhibit functions. In this article, we introduce to the installation of a practical use about OMEKA. Regarding to OMEKA features, we consider it to raise exhibit effects. OMEKA would reduce the cost related to plans of exhibitions because it could display various contents and programs which reflecting characteristics of institutions. In addition, the availability of installation and widespread technological environment would lessen burden of public institutions. Using OMEKA, they would improve service level of public institutions and, make users satisfy. Therefore, they can change the social recognition of public institutions. OMEKA can contribute to various exercises of public records. It is not just the stereotypical system but, serves exhibition and collections with the strategy which each public institution would like to display. After all, it not only to connect to users with producers but also to improve the public image of institutions positively. Then, OMEKA would bring the great result through this interaction between public institutions and users.
