본 연구는 공공도서관 이용자들을 대상으로 실제 도서관 이용과 관련한 구전행위가 어떤 내용으로 어떻게 이루어지고 있는지 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울 소재 공공도서관 한 곳을 주 1회 이상 정기적으로 이용하는 20-40대 이용자들을 대상으로 심층 면접을 통해 자료를 수집하고, 근거 이론 방법을 적용해 데이터를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 총 130개 개념과 58개의 하위범주, 그리고 17개의 범주가 도출되었고, 도서관 서비스 이용에서 구전으로 이어지는 일련의 과정은 '도서관 인지-도서관 서비스 이용 및 경험-도서관에 대한 구전 행위-구전 행위에 따른 결과'의 네 단계로 정리해 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 핵심범주는 '나에게는 가깝지만 같이 소통하기에는 어려운 도서관'으로써, 평소 도서관과 관련된 것들에 관심이 많은 이용자들에게는 도서관이 가깝고 친근한 시설이지만 대다수의 일반인들에게는 구전을 통한 소통과 이해가 어려운 장소로 인식되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to analyze the intention of public library use of citizens by applying Ajzen's extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB). A questionnaire survey was conducted to identify the relationship between personal characteristics, factors from ETPB, such as attitude, subject norm, and perceived behavioral control, and the intention of public library use, Library knowledge was also added as an additional independent factor in this study. The results showed that attitude and library knowledge were more important factors than others. Subject norm and perceived behavioral control had also positive effects on the intention, Additionally, some personal characteristics, such as age, educational background, and household income, and public library use experience made significant differences in the intention. Based on the results, this study made some suggestions for expanding the scope of public library users.

The research aims to analyze the architectural trends of the public library buildings that have recently won the AIA/ALA Library Building Awards, ALA/IIDA Library Interior Design Awards or have introduced as excellent examples among the cases of new construction or remodeling of public libraries in North America. The research seeks to find the implications and guidelines for new constructions or remodeling of Korean public libraries by analyzing the main features of recently awarded library constructions, and to suggest the directions of public library constructions (or remodeling) to be opened in the future. The research found the six significant emergent themes by the content analysis and explained what each theme means with the examples of the libraries. On the basis of the findings, the research suggests the directions of public library designs and constructions in the future, and further follow-up research topics.

The aim of this study is to explore key strategy areas for academic library development planning in Korea. This study started with components of an academic library development plan that were identified in a literature review; those components included among others the major roles, functions, resources, and teaching and research support services of academic libraries. Upon interviewing library staff from 14 academic libraries, this study initially categorized those components into 4 overarching strategy areas and further subdivided them into 12 key components and 24 sub-components. That initial categorization was then reviewed by 6 scholars and practitioners, applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), by which this study analyzed the level of importance and priority of the strategy areas and various components. Based on the results, this study ultimately outlines 11 key components and 23 sub-components under the 4 strategy areas for academic libraries in Korea to take into consideration in their development planning.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and identify the characteristics in the current library classification research, and to provide suggestions for the future in this area. This study covers the published studies in library classification from 2004 to 2013. They include the research on Korean Decimal Classification (KDC), Dewey Decimal Classification and others. The results show that the main purpose in those studies is to improve current KDC system. A suggestion is provided in this study to concentrate on specific classification systems for school libraries and small libraries, for digital collections.

This study proposes to identify digital library services applying cutting-edge technologies, and attempt to investigate the applicability of these technologies and services to domestic libraries. To this end, we reviewed main research which discusses next generation digital libraries, and examined thoroughly main technologies which can be applied to future libraries. As a result, the core technologies, concepts, and tools of the next generation of digital library are: cloud services, space for infinite creating (makerspace), big data, augmented reality, context-aware technologies, Google-glass, a revolutionary display technology, open linked-content-offering method, and so on. Specific cases of libraries already utilizing these technologies are also discussed.

As the Internet connections and services at U.S. public libraries have increased dramatically since 1990s, defining, assessing and measuring quality of these new electronic services have become a critical issue. This research was a study designed to identify key dimensions of Internet service quality at public libraries by providing a systematic framework for measuring and assessing the quality of Internet services. The study used modified SERVQUAL and SERVPERF instruments which have been widely used service quality measurement in business marketing areas and LibQUAL+ model which are widely adopted service quality measurement instrument in most of the academic libraries in U.S.

This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of records related to Korea shown in the cataloging records of national libraries of the main 10 developing countries in Asia and Africa. The results are as follows. To begin with, Korea-related records in most national libraries are very poor and under 0.1% of the library. Except for National Library of Viet Nam, the figure is under 3,000 volumes and generally 2 times less than Japan related records. Second, except for National Library of Iran and Viet Nam most national libraries romanize Korean materials, there are not marked with the original Korean language and unfeasible Hangeul search. Third, on investigation of the subject distribution in sub criteria of Korea-related records, subject related to history and economy is largely shown in the highest rate. Fifth, among the Korea-related subject heading, Taekwondo is marked with distinction from Karate in most libraries except for 7 national libraries. Dokdo is marked with the geographical name of 'Korea' in 7 national libraries and East Sea (Donghae) already is marked with 'Japan, Sea of' in 7 national libraries. Amnokgang, Dumangang, and Baekdusan-related records did not search at all in most national libraries.

Due to the radical changes of information technology, it becomes indispensable for educators and students of university to learn how to use copyrighted works ethically and legally without violating the copyright law. As a result, academic libraries need to take responsibilities to inform them fair use criteria and to provide proper fair use guidelines. This study analysed various fair use guidelines for them and copyright law to identify key areas of fair use guideline for the academic libraries. It also investigated 10 university libraries' web sites to find that the identified key areas are delivered to the educators and students.

디지털도서관은 전통적인 도서관의 역할과 함께 새로운 형태의 전자자원과 웹자원을 열람할 수 있는 시설과 기기를 이용자에게 제공함으로써 IT환경에 익숙한 이용자들에게 검증된 어떤 형태의 정보자원도 제공하는 도서관이다. NDL은 국립중앙도서관의 부서이지만 별도의 공간에서 디지털정보자원만으로 도서관 서비스를 제공하여 명실상부한 디지털도서관의 원형을 구현하였다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 NDL의 구성원들의 디지털도서관의 운영고도화를 위한 설문을 바탕으로 디지털도서관 운영모델을 제안하였다. 디지털 도서관의 성공적인 운영을 위한 주요 요인은 조직의 전문성을 비롯하여, 제도적 정보자원의 확보, 정보활용교육에 기반한 홍보방안 수립 등이었다.
