Electronic books offer various possibilities for expanding access as well as changing reading behavior in our life. However despite the considerable promise of e-book, e-book market was not vitalized than re expected. This study investigated the current e-book environment and suggest some guidelines for making e-books a viable part of libraries' collections and our reading life. Findings and issues about the status of the current e-book market and technologies, and some experience of libraries in the advanced countries give us a lesson for the Korean library societies.

2022년 수질과 수생태 등 쾌적한 물환경을 요구하는 국민들의 요구를 충족시키기 위해 댐 건설 및 주변지역지원 등에 관한 법률이 개정됨에 따라 댐관리청이나 댐수탁관리자가 댐의 수질을 개선하기 위한 물환경 관리사업을 시행할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 댐상류의 물환경개선사업은 정부재정이나 댐수탁관리자의 재원이 투입되는 사업으로 지속가능한 사업의 추진을 위해서는 사업의 타당성을 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 댐상류 수질개선사업의 편익효과를 식별하고 계량화하여 제시하였으며 각 수계별로 댐상류 물환경개선사업의 효과를 분석하여 비교, 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 댐상류 물환경개선사업의 사업타당성 및 국민적 공감대형성에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

This study analyzed the operation status of the military library and e-book service in order to improve the soldiers' access to the reading environment and to suggest a plan to revitalize the military library. As a result of the survey, it was found that it is necessary to improve the environment such as the IT environment, devices, and time allowed for access to activate the use of e-books. According to the interview results, problems such as low usage rate and awareness of the digital library, the use of different e-book viewers and management systems for each distributor when distributing e-books, and the dissemination of e-books for the management and accessibility of the Armed Services Editions in library were raised. In order to activate the e-book service of the library in the military, diversify e-book service promotion and education programs, activations such as establish standards for the e-book operating system for each county, use platforms and devices to promote e-book operation and use, and construction of e-book service using Armed Services Editions were derived.

개방화 및 국제화의 물결과 함께 세계 경제계에서 지배적 지위를 차지하는 거대한 초국적 기업들의 수가 증가하게 되면서, 이들 기업이 환경 파괴, 노사문제, 개발도상국의 빈곤문제에 책임이 있다는 기업의 사회적 책임론(Corporate Social Responsibility: CSR)이 강조되고 있다. 우리나라에서의 CSR활동은 일부 기업에 의해서만 이루지고 있고 분식회계, 환경오염 및 외국인 근로자에 대한 차별대우 등과 같은 법률이나 윤리에 저촉되는 행위들이 거듭되고 있다. 따라서 우리나라 기업들의 CSR에 대한 인식과 활동은 미흡한 면이 있고 이에 대한 개선이 필요하다고 본다.

전자책에 대한 사회적인 관심과 다양한 장점에도 불구하고 현재 상이한 전자책 문서 포맷을 사용한 결과 전자책 컨텐츠에 대한 교환 및 공유를 어렵게 하여 결과적으로 전자책의 시장 활성화를 가로막는 가장 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 미국과 일본에서는 이미 관련 표준안을 제정한 바 있으며, 한국에서도 2001년 한국전자책 컨소시엄(EBH의 표준화 분과위원회를 통하여 전자책 산업 표준인 한국전자책문서표준(EBKS)을 제정하였다. 한국에서의 전자책 표준 EBKS는 HTML 및 PDF보다 다양한 장점을 제공하는 XML을 기반으로, 전자책 컨텐츠에 대한 정확한 교환 한국출판환경의 특징 반영, 생성 용이성, 관련 표준과의 호환성 제공 등을 기본 방향으로 한다. 한편 EBKS는 DTD 측면에서 고정된 문서구조, 확장메커니즘 제공, 세로 쓰기 다단 편집 그리고 한글 및 고어 특성 반영 등과 같은 특징을 포함하며, 스타일의 경우 교환을 위해서는 XSL-FO를 이용하여 컨텐츠와 스타일을 분리하고 있으며, 출력을 위해서는 XSL-FO를 권고한다. 그리고 EBKS 메타데이터는 사용의 용이성 교환 및 호환성 등을 제공하기 위하여 한정어(qualifier)를 사용하지 않는 dc-metadata와 확장을 위한 x-metadata로 구성된다. 한편 본 논문에서는 이러한 EBKS의 활용예로 XSL-FO를 이용한 전자책 컨텐츠에 대한 정교한 출력 결과를 제시한다.

Many countries have established eBook standards adequate to their environments. In USA, OEB PS is announced for distribution and display of eBooks, in Japan, JepaX is announced for storage and exchange, and in Korea, EBKS is made for clear exchange of eBook contents. These diverse objectives lead to different content structures. These variety of content structure will cause a problem in exchanging them. To correctly exchange eBook contents, the content structure should be considered. So, In this paper, we study conversion methods of standard eBooks contents based on Korean eBook standard, with contemplating content structure. To convert contents properly, the mapping relations should be clearly defined. For this, we consider standard's structure and extension mechanisms, and use path notations and namespaces for precise description. Moreover, through analysis of each mapping relationships, we classify conversion cases into automatic, semi-automatic, and manual conversions. Finally we write up conversion scripts and experiment with them.

최근 멀티미디어 기술과 가상/증강현실 기술의 발전으로 사용자에게 몰입감 있는 콘텐츠를 제공하는 여러 시스템들이 제안되고 있다. 또한 기존의 시각과 음향효과만으로 이루어진 시스템의 한계를 넘어서 실제와 같은 느낌을 전달할 수 있는 햅틱기술을 적용하여 보다 몰입감있는 체험형 실감책들이 고안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 과학교과서를 중심으로 과학적 이론을 보다 효과적으로 가르치고 배우기 위해 필요한 다양한 촉감(Haptic)을 분류하고, 이를 실감책에 적용하여 책이 담고 있는 주요 내용 또는 삽화와 관련된 다양한 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 가상/증강환경에서 시청각정보와 함께 촉각콘텐츠를 독자에게 제공함으로써 보고, 듣고 만질 수 있는 적극적인 촉감 상호작용이 가능한 실감책 ('Sil-Gam' Book) 시스템의 기본 프레임워크를 제시한다.

This thesis will select one of the books that went out of print, and republish it using the ePub and PDF format to observe the effective and economic method to republish it as an e-book. Conclusively, e-book in PDF format was advantageous over ePub production. The ePub has limitations of electronically publishing the books went out of print prior to 21st century when storing the original text was not common, as well as book with complex layouts. The PDF format was able to capture and recreate the sensitivity that can only be presented by vintage books, also adding to the cultural value. To publish PDF e-books, the foremost requirement is to prepare a standardized system that allows comprehensive browsing of the current status of the book, and also creating an environment for copyrighted publishers to more actively publish e-books by diversifying the distribution platforms and properly allocating the profit generated by use of the copyright. This thesis provides a simulation of e-book publications, for small and medium size publishers and writers who are hesitant to publish e-books, to take more aggressive approach in entering the business.

This study investigates the strategic environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) of polluting duopoly when two firms have different production costs and compete with prices. We then examine an endogenous timing game in choosing ECSR and its effects on environmental damage and social welfare. The followings are the main findings: First, sequential choice of ECSR is strategic complements and it provides late adopter advantage irrespective of cost difference. Second, sequential choice of ECSR is the equilibrium of endogenous timing game. In particular, an efficient firm-leading ECSR is the payoff dominance equilibrium when cost difference is significant. Finally, environmental damage and social welfare depend on the social cost of pollution. In particular, an efficient firm-leading ECSR is socially desirable when social cost is high. However, an inefficient firm-leading ECSR increases environmental damage irrespective of social cost and it reduces social welfare when cost difference is significant.

This research aims at understanding the differences between expert and general users' perceptions regarding publication preferences for Korean classics collations and translations in order to formulate future directions for these materials. For this purpose, an overview of changes in publishing in general as well as current status of collation/translation of Korean classics in particular are being identified. An online questionnaire was carried out in order to collect data regarding perceptions and preferences of expert users and general users of Korean classics. The results are based on the analyses of more than 1,000 responses. The analyses show that electronic books will not completely replace printed books and publishing both electronic and printed books in tandem for the time being is most preferable in order to satisfy varying user needs. Statistical analysis shows differences in terms of use value, value from possession, and readability of electronic and printed books in the two groups of users. However, as for the value of preservation by relevant institutions, there was a statistical difference between two groups towards printed books unlike their electronic equivalents. The research shows strong preference towards printed forms of classics collations and translations for the purpose of scholarly research and translation. Actual usage statistics reveal much heavy use of online database of classics translations compared to the use of available electronic books. For future publishing decisions for classics collations and translations will need to take into consideration of their special characteristics and symbolic nature. Proper representation of these materials into electronic format would require a standardized platform that enable various uses in different environments.
