At present there is a increasing interest on dyslexia, not only medical science, psychology and linguistics but also special education studies in Korea. Unfortunately that is not yet in library and information sciences. This study is intended to develop the service model of the public libraries for dylexics in Korea. In order to accomplish the intention, the service models of the public libraries are benchmarked in the northern European countries, namely, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. The service model developed in the study is applicable in school and university libraries as well.

Recently, as voluntary activity has become more widespread, there have been some voluntary activity movements in the provision of library services for people with disabilities. This study aimed to develop a model on voluntary activity in library services for disabled people in public libraries. Survey data collected through three data collection methods showed that volunteer activities in public library services for the disabled were very poor, and recommended the training of library staff and volunteers serving disabled people, the management of educational programs for librarians about the disabled and the dissemination of standardized manuals. From the results of the survey, a voluntary activity model, based on three factors, the aims of library services, the types of the disabilities, and volunteer services including specific sub areas of services, was developed. Finally, this voluntary activity model will contribute to the theory development of library services for the disabled

전자도서 입력봉사 시스템이란 시각장애인을 위한 봉사활동의 일환으로써 일반 도서를 컴퓨터 워드작업을 통해 전자도서를 제작하여 시각장애인에게 제공하기위한 자원봉사활동을 의미한다. 하지만 봉사자의 모집이 어렵고, 봉사자들의 중도포기가 많은 등 애로사항이 존재함에 따라 지속적인 전자도서 제작의 어려움이 존재한다. 이를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 웹서비스 기술을 이용한 전자도서 입력봉사 시스템을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 입력봉사 시스템을 구현하기 위해서 설계 개요, 계획 단계, 분석 단계, 설계 단계, 개발 단계, 시험 단계를 거쳐 웹서비스를 설계한다. 본 논문의 결과는 시각장애인복지관 또는 시각장애 관련 정책 개선 시 활용될 수 있으리라 본다. 또한 향후 보다 효율적인 입력봉사 시스템 체계의 설계를 위한 고도화 연구가 필요하다.

정보전달매체가 발달된 오늘날에 있어서도 시각장애인은 각종 정보와 문화적 혜택으로부터 소외되고 있는것이 사실이다. 특히 도서관은 시각장애인에게도 주체적 삶의 의지, 공부할 권리, 알권리를 제공해 주어야 할 의무가 있다. 지금까지의 선행 연구들은 시각장애인 정보봉사를 도서관 쪽으로만 국한시키고 있으나 시각장애인 정보봉사는 국가와 사회의 관심하에 도서관, 매스미디어, 맹인복지기관, 특수맹학교 그리고 멀티미디어 신기술을 활용하여 전개되어야 하며 이를 위한 체계적인 연구가 필요하다.

The research analyzes the factors that influence the job satisfaction of library volunteers for the disabled. Based on comparable literature review, this research extracts comprehensive factors that affect job satisfaction. The research found that job satisfaction depended on marital status, age, education and the channel that a volunteer went through to participate in assisting the disabled. Self-motivation also influenced the job satisfaction, but altruistic motivation did not. For environmental factors, compensation, prior experience, and roles did not influence the job satisfaction. For the factors related to the awareness of the value of volunteering, overall expectation and fitness of tasks were found to be passive with job satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to find the characteristics of the blindness of Sim Bongsa, Sim Cheong's father, in Sim Cheong Jeon (the story of Sim Cheong). This is one of the representative works about the filial piety in Korea. This article regards the story as the process of restoring the sight of the father and tries to examine the cause and the timing of his blindness to make its diagnosis in the psychoanalytic perspective. The predominant characteristics of Sim Bongsa were very dependent and irresponsible. He was so unqualified to be a head of a family. He sought to close his eyes toward reality in his unconsciousness. His blindness can be diagnosed as a case of psychogenic hysteria, conversion disorder. The fact that he suddenly could see when the empress turned out to be his own daughter, Cheong, can be a meaningful proof for this diagnosis. It means that his symptom of blindness disappeared when he realized a new reality which ensures a comfortable and easy-going life for himself.

As a 'Senior Citizen' by applying an active theory based on a role model, elderly volunteers may seek to impart health to the local communities through volunteer activities. In addition, the strategies for promoting the elderly participation volunteering actions may apply with the lifelong education/learning model for citizenship development, which intends to expand the elder volunteer activity participants and the areas of volunteering actions. In this study, we attempted to find out how volunteering fieldworkers experience and perceive volunteer-promoting strategies for senior volunteers drawn from previous literatures and studies on promoting elderly volunteer actions. For the purpose of the study, we conducted in-depth interviews with 12 fieldworkers who worked senior-welfare centers and volunteer centers in Seoul and Kyeong-gi area. We used the directed-content analysis, which categorized 12 themes/categories commonly mentioned from previous literatures and studies. Within these categories, the analysis was made to derive issues and improve promoting strategies specified from the interviewees. The outcomes of the study included the insights regarding what promoting-strategies might be necessary to enrich existing senior volunteer actions. The study highlighted not only reviews volunteer fieldworkers' current experiences with senior volunteers but also barrier and practical suggestions for the continuous advances of senior volunteer programs and strategies.
