The free learning semester system focuses on the activation of career education of middle school students as an educational policy that links career recognition in elementary school, career search in middle school, and career planning in high school. This system was fully implemented in 2016 and public libraries also provided various programs. This study analyzed the free learning semester system programs of public libraries in Busan city and demonstrated the contribution of local development. As a result, career and job search, career exploration and experience, and information literacy enhancement programs contributed to local knowledge culture, reading culture, learning culture, living culture and leisure culture. However, contribution of reading exhibitions, job experience, information literacy enhancement to the leisure culture and local economy were limited. Therefore, it is desirable that all libraries should add programs related to knowledge ecosystem structure, digital information gap, human healing, social environment issues, future job prospects, and provide information literacy programs.

정보와 지식의 활용이 무엇보다 중요하게 여겨지는 정보화 사회에서 정보소양은 산업사회의 문자해득력만큼이나 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 또한 정보 기술만으로는 정보 사회에서 발생하는 문제에 대해 효과적으로 대처하고 적응하기 어렵다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구에서는 최근 외국에서 활발히 진행되어 온 정보소양교육에 초점을 두어 실제로 정보소양 학습 효과가 대학생들의 문제해결과정에 미치는 영향과 효용을 검증함으로써 차후 대학에서의 정보소양 교육 도입에 대한 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

세계는 이미 '정보화 시대'라는 거대한 물결에 휩쓸려 가고 있다. 그 속에 정보화 기술의 혜택을 가장 많이 받아야 함에도 불구하고 소외되고 있는 계층이 있다. 바로 몸이 불편한 장애우가 바로 그들이다. 이들이야말로 다양한 정보화 매체를 활용함으로써 더 큰 효과를 기대할 수 있으므로 본 연구에서는 이 중 마우스 사용이 가능한 정신지체아들을 위한 단계별 문자교육 시스템을 설계하였다. 이와 같이 주의 집중력이 현저히 떨어지고 학습의 효과가 단기간에 나타나지 않는 정신지체아들에게 지속적이고 단계적인 시스템을 제공함으로써 정보화 사회에 적응력을 높이고 컴퓨터 조작 기능과 문자 해득력을 향상시키는 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

Many visually handicapped people face difficulties with using libraries. Public libraries are thus required to meet the need of visually handicapped people. Public libraries should guarantee the visually handicapped the right to use appropriate services. If so, the visually handicapped can improve their life quality by decreasing information gap and increasing information comprehension or accessibility. This study is designed to analyze how visually handicapped people can use public libraries. Based on the analysis, this study can provide actual suggestions to improve opportunities for the visually handicapped to use libraries. Data are collected from visually handicapped people who are the members of Suseong Public Library, Daegu, Korea. In specific, this study can analyze various characteristics(i.e., information needs, selection and use behavior of information sources, difficulties and gaps to access information, use behavior and service satisfaction of public library) regarding their library use by telephone interviews.
