As IT technology develops rapidly and the personal dissemination of smart devices increases, video material is especially used as a medium of information transmission among audiovisual materials. Video as an information service content has become an indispensable element, and it has been used in various ways such as unidirectional delivery through TV, interactive service through the Internet, and audiovisual library borrowing. Especially, in the Internet environment, the information provider tries to reduce the effort and cost for the processing of the provided information in view of the video service through the smart device. In addition, users want to utilize only the desired parts because of the burden on excessive network usage, time and space constraints. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the usability of the video by automatically classifying, summarizing, and indexing similar parts of the contents. In this paper, we propose a method of automatically segmenting the shots that make up videos by analyzing the contents and characteristics of language education videos and indexing the detailed contents information of the linguistic videos by combining visual features. The accuracy of the semantic based shot segmentation is high, and it can be effectively applied to the summary service of language education videos.

Since big data platform services for the public library began January 1, 2016, libraries have used big data to improve their work performance. This paper aims to examine the use cases of library big data and attempts to draw improvement plan to improve the effectiveness of library big data. For this purpose, first, we examine big data used while utilizing the library big data platform, the usage pattern of big data and services/policies drawn by big data analysis. Next, the limitations and advantages of the library big data platform are examined by comparing the data analysis of the integrated library management system (ILUS) currently used in public libraries and data analysis through the library big data platform. As a result of case analysis, big data usage patterns were found program planning and execution, collection, collection, and other types, and services/policies were summarized as customizing bookshelf themes for the book curation and reading promotion program, increasing collection utilization, and building a collection based on special topics. and disclosure of loan status data. As a result of the comparative analysis, ILUS is specialized in statistical analysis of library collection unit, and the big data platform enables selective and flexible analysis according to various attributes (age, gender, region, time of loan, etc.) reducing analysis time. Finally, the limitations revealed in case analysis and comparative analysis are summarized and suggestions for improvement are presented.

This study aims to serve as the basis for the librarian training curriculum model for the disability services. To achieve this, a theoretical study was carried out through literature and investigated and analyzed on the disability services of Public Libraries in Seoul and on the status of Library and Information Science curriculum for the disability services in Korea. The research results are summarized as follows: First, only one university and one graduate school in Korea offers a curriculum for training librarians for the disability services. Second, since 2010 a continuing education program for librarians in charge of the disability service has been offered every year by the National Library of Korea, Librarians who completed this course have been surveyed for their opinions and the results have been reflected in the following course. Third, currently among the disabled users in public library the users with mental retardation, emotional and behavioral disorders, and autism are more than the visually impaired users. Most of the disability service has been a lending for general materials.

The purpose of this study is to revitalize library service by examining how public and medical libraries provide health and medical information services. For this purpose, we conducted a survey of the two library types, and the results are as follows. First, more than 50% of the questions public librarians were termed "immediate answer" questions, while more than 80% of the questions medical librarians receive take up to a few days' time to answer. Public librarians were more likely to comment on the limitations of their expertise and information resources as compared to the medical librarians. Second, public librarians use mainly medical journals and websites for answering users' requests. However, medical librarians used, in almost the same ratio, all types of information resources represented in the survey questions. Third, when asking about health/medical-related training contents for performing their tasks, public and medical librarians are highly interested in all information about all health-related issues. However, while medical librarians showed high interest in all subject areas, public librarians most preferred well-being related education topics such as Information on diet and nutrition, Information about exercise and fitness, and information on quitting smoking.

This research is to find a direction of development through operating status survey of public library in Busan metropolitan city. First, Normally library users visit the library to check out books or to have a private study session. Also users normally obtained information about upcoming events done in the library through using offline search methods. Second, although the usage of the website was low, however the users demanded the increase in computer numbers in the library and online database for home access. Third, the users acknowledged the importance of the public library to their local community. Library policy indicator rated high in importance to the local community(m=3.86). However the reference desk(m=2.87), checkout desk(m=2.41), computer availability(m=2.47), as well as up-to-date artifact availability(m=2.64) did not reach the average point of 3.0. Thus, revealing that the public library's management policies were not sufficient enough to satisfy the needs of the library users.

This study investigated the present situation of the use of cinematographic works and the problems of copyright. Surveys were conducted in public and university libraries for these. Also, content analyses were conducted to make sense of copyright problems in libraries. As a result, this study found that problems of copyright had occurred in various aspects related to public performance, lending, digitization and internet services according to the diversity of facilities for watching cinematographic works and library services. Also, the librarians' questions to the copyright were very various from the primary level to specific level. This study suggested that regular courses of study in library schools need to be opened to primitive understanding to copyright law and occupational training programs for librarians need to be opened to complementary education as revisions of copyright law. This study also suggested that the online Q&A services need to be started for librarians who have detailed copyright problems.

ESCO란 에너지 절약회사(Energy Saving Company) 또는 에너지 서비스 회사(Energy Service Company)를 뜻하는 용어로 지난 1992년 정부에서 에너지 절약을 촉진하기 위해 정책자금을 도입하면서 등장했다. 이들 기업은 정부에서 정책자금을 빌려 공장이나 아파트 등 에너지 사용자에게 에너지 절약시설을 지어주고 에너지를 줄인양만큼 투자비를 회수해 간다. 고유가가 계속되면서 에너지절약 전문기업인 ESCO 단위 사업규모가 점차 대형화되고 있다. ESCO 투자실적은 1998년 이후 에너지절약 시설 개체 사업의 급속한 증가에 힘입어 매년 급격히 성장하고 있다. 최근에는 2천억원대의 시장규모를 가지고 2005년에는 건당 평균 9.1억원이 지원된 것으로 나타났다. 에너지관리공단 자금지원팀의 자료에 의하면 ESCO투자사업 자금지원은 1993~1998년 197건에 480억원이 지원됐으나 2005년에는 202건에 1,829억원이 지원된 것으로 나타났다. 지난 2006년 9월 말 현재 ESCO투자사업 자금지원은 106건에 1,020억원이 대출 은행에 추천된 것으로 알려졌다. 또한 에스코 사업분야가 조명기기·보일러 등 단순설비 교체에서 열병합발전소·냉난방설비, 공정개선 및 폐열회수 등 복합설비 쪽으로 확대되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 에너지 소비가 큰 화학 철강 제지 등 산업체, 대형병원, 산업단지 등이 새 에너지 절감 시스템을 도입하면 에너지 효율성 개선에 효과적인 사업이다. 본지는 지난호에 ESCO사업 현황과 투자사례를 게재하고, 이번호에는 ESCO사업 지원시책과 외국의 ESCO활동 현황 및 국내의 ESCO 투자사례를 게재할 계획이다.
