Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a measuring tool for spiritual care performance of hospice team members. The tool may be utilized for providing hospice patients with more systematic and standardized spiritual tares. Methods: The concept and questions of the tool were developed, and then its validity and reliability were tested. For the validity and reliability tests, a self-reported questionnaire comprising 33 questions with 4 point scale ($1{\sim}4$), was developed, and the data were collected from 192 hospice team members from December 2005 to February 2006. Results: Thirty three questions, drafted through literature review and professional consultation, were reviewed by 20 professionals for their validity, were revised and supplemented resulted in the final 33 questions. The questions with a correlation coefficient grater than .30 were selected: all the 33 questions were selected based on this criterion. The reliability coefficient, Cronbarh's ${\alpha}$, was 0.95. The 33 questions were analyzed for factors, and six factors were extracted: relationship formation and communication, encouragement and promotion of spiritual growth, linking with spiritual resources, preparation of death, evaluation and quality control for spiritual intervention, Intervention, and spiritual assessment for intervention. Conclusion: The tool developed in this study includes six factors and has high level of reliability. This tool Will greatly contribute to assess and improve hospice care services, providing systematic and standardized spiritual cares for terminally ill patients and their families.

이 글은 1990년 10월 29일부터 11월 1일까지 서울 아카데미 하우스에서 열린 제11차 국제문헌정보연맹 아시아$\cdot$태평양위원회 학술회의에서 행한 기조연설의 내용이다. 이 학술회의의 주제인 국가정보정책의 현황과 주요 문제를 정리하여 제시하는 것이 기조연설자가 맡은 과제라 보고 첫째, 최근 수년간 한국정부가 입안 실행한 산업정보정책을 살펴보고 둘째, 일반적으로 개발도상국에서 국가산업정보정책은 누가 입안하고, 입안된 정책은 누가 실행하며, 한국의 경우는 어떤지를 살펴보았다. 산업정보정책은 한 나라의 산업정보봉사활동이 이루고자하는 여러 목표들을 열거한 것이며, 다른 분야의 경우와 마찬가지로 정부에 의하여 결정된다. 산업정보정책을 심의 결정하여 공포하는 것도, 지정된 기관에 재정지원을 제공하거나 법적 의무를 지워 공포된 정책을 실행하는 것도 정부의 책임이다. 제6차 경제사회발전 5개년 계획(1987-91) 속에 표시된 한국정부의 전반적 산업정보정책은 $\ulcorner$산업기술정보 유통지원을 강화하여 현행 산업연구원내 기술정보유통센터의 운영을 대폭 강화하고 전국적 온라인 전산망을 구축하여 산업연구원을 명실 상부한 국가의 중추적 기술정보유통기관으로 육성해나가는 한편 이를 토대로 기술정보 거래시장(테크노 마켓트)을 설치 운영$\lrcorner$하는 것이다. 산업정보정책은 산업발달을 위한 정책 속에 통합되고, 그것은 다시 경제발전 및 기타 부문의 국가발전 정책 속에 포함되는 것이 바람직하다. 한국에서 일반경제정책은 경제기획원이, 산업정책은 상공부 가, 기술정책은 과학기술처가, 재정정책은 재무부와 한국은행이, 통신정책은 체신부가 심의 입안한다. 산업정보정책의 일부를 이루는 산업정책 입안의 주요 책임은 상공부의 산업정책국에 있다. 모든 개발도상국에 꼭 같이 적용할 수 있는 국가산업정보정책 입안 및 실행 지침 같은 것을 마련하기는 어렵다. 그것은 이 분야에 개발된 일반모형이 없고 또 개발도상국이라고 하는 것이 동질집단이 아니기 때문이다. 개발도상국 사이에는 그 경제 발전면에서 뿐만 아니라 정보활동 면에서도 큰 수준 차가 있다. 각 개발도상국은 그 나라 고유의 전통과 형편에 맞는 산업정보정책을 마련하여야 한다. 그렇지만 발전 수준이 비슷한 다른 나라의 산업정보정책을 검토하여 자국의 가능성과 제한점을 바르게 이해하는 일은 적절한 정책 입안에 있어서 도움이 될 것이다. 본 기조연설은 아시아와 대양주의 다른 개발도상국 정책 입안자들에게 그러한 검토자료를 제공할 목적으로 행해진 것이다.

This study aims to examine and analyze the operations and activities of Friends of Libraries groups in foreign countries. Friends of Libraries are groups of people who are voluntarily associated in order to assist libraries in their work.

They support libraries by raising funds, working as volunteers, performing P.R. activities, operating political campaigns and being involved in the community. Nowadays. Friends groups are considered more important than at any time in their history because they provide such diverse support. Thus, new groups are being established in many countries. This study suggests that the establishment of Friends groups could improve library operations and services in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the document delivery service(DDS) of the academic libraries and suggest its improvement model in Korea. DDS means providing copies of information requests in any format and from any source. And DDS is gaining in importance as libraries turn to 'just-in-time' access rather than 'just-in-case' collection to meet user information needs. By good fortune, rising journal subscription prices, declining financial resources, canceling some of journal subscriptions, electronic transmission technologies, and the rise of commercial document delivery services have allowed libraries to begin to deliver articles to users in a much more rapid and acceptable time frame. Therefore, the library paradigm for the 2000s must be the creation of new document delivery structures which capitalize on the access tolls and structures created by librarians during the past generations. First of all, library-based document service requires a close review of existing library-to-library delivery mechanisms, application of technology to transfer of facsimiles of materials and facilitated use of existing fee-based document sources. The ideal document delivery system would feature a transparent, seamless electronic service incorporating searching and browsing identification and marking of desired items, and transmission and fulfillment of requests. And requested items would be supplied from library collection, commercial suppliers, or other sources. But the future of DDS will succeed when physical resources, policies, personnel, and practices are organized to provide timely information delivery to users.

This paper reports the results of the analysis on the access points of two bibliographic databases specialized in children's materials: "A" public library's online catalog and "N" children's novel database. The analysis particularly focused on the access points that lead users to discover their own needs and on the ways users search and navigate. The findings showed that the selected bibliographic systems supported many access points that were taken from the materials as well as from other relevant information sources and that browsing and navigating with hyperlinks supported the users' 'recognition' of information through 'interactivity' between the users and the systems, 'information encountering,' and 'serendipity.' The findings of this paper have implications for librarians and systems designers who want to develop user-friendly bibliographic systems that give access to children's materials.

User Education is one of the main activities among the traditional library services. Nowadays information technology has brought drastic changes into in the libraries, especially in the types of information sources, information users' behavior and the user education programs. The users need to know new information skills to retrieve the adequate information they need, and consequently libraries should develop new instruction programs to meet the user needs according to the radical changes of information technology and daily increasing electronic Information sources including internet resources. In this paper it was researched how to use the library websites for information instruction at the university libraries in Korea, USA and Canada through literature and by visiting the websites of the university libraries. It was found that Korean university libraries focus on providing the physical access to information, while American and Canadian university libraries focus on providing the intellectual access to information as well as the physical access to information. Most Korean university libraries have the entries about library history, library services and collection, outside networked information sources on the menu of their homepages, while there are guides how to use information sources such as subject bibliographies, reference tools, network resource tools, and guides how to write a paper, and information for user instruction on the websites of the western university libraries. It is very promising to make full use of the library webpages for library user education, which nowadays provide very powerful communication interface and make the library users find appealing and accessible.
