The purpose of this research is to investigate the current situation of national and international e-book ecosystem, reveal a conflict and suggest the improvement strategies regarding e-book lending service in public libraries. For this, an extensive research was conducted concerning overall e-book issues and reveled the criteria for each sectors. The relationship and different view between publishing and library sector were presented. Then, the five public library e-book lending principles, developed by foreign national or international library associations, were analyzed. The seven main principles were derived and mapped to the current practice of publishers. As a result, the possible countermeasures of the Korean public library were suggested, particularly in terms of the mission of public library, development a standardized lending model, and the revision of law.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of microbe inspections on the hygienic improvement of school food service systems. Methods: Thirty-three school food service systems in Incheon metropolitan city participated in the study from Sep. 2004 to Apr. 2005. Major items of microbe inspections were cutting boards, knives, kitchen towels, and kitchen staff's hands. The Rodac plate and hand plate were used to measure the surface contamination level of germs such as Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio species, Salmonella species and E. coli. Results: This study compared the results of the inspections in Sep. 2004 and Apr. 2005. The surface contamination level of Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio species on the knives and kitchen towels had significantly improved. However, the surface contamination level of E. coli on the hands of the kitchen staff had worsened. Conclusions: This study showed that microbe inspections could control the hygienic level of the school food service systems. In the future, microbe inspections should be actively used to improve sanitary conditions in the school lunch system.

The recombinant lysozyme-HJL34 proteins were expressed and purified using commercial Escherichia (E.) coli expression system. Stx2e⁺ F18⁺ E. coli, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), Streptococcus (S.) suis, and Clostridium (C.) perfringens strains were isolated from pigs. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the recombinant lysozyme-HJP34 proteins were examined by means of the microtiter plate method, according to the NCCLS recommendations. The possibility of its as the alternatives to antibiotics was tested in piglets. The MICs were determined as 75 ㎍/mL, 300 ㎍/mL, 75 ㎍/mL, 35.5 ㎍/m against Stx2e⁺ F18⁺ E. coli, APP, S. suis, C. perfringens, respectively. A total of 25 piglets were divied 5 groups. The piglets in group A~C were fed with commercial feed and those in groups D, E were fed with commercial feedstuff. All piglets in groups B~E were challenged with virulent Stx2e⁺ F18⁺ E. coli, APP, S. suis strains. Groups C and D were treated with antimicrobial from 24 h after challenge. All piglets in group B died within 3 days after challenge. Among 5 piglets in groups C and D piglets, 80% survived after challenge. Among group E piglets, 60% were alive until the end of this study. Therefore, this study indicates that recombinant lysozyme-HJP34 proteins is a suitable possibility as a feed additive for reduction of diseases by bacterial pathogens in piglet feed.

Recently, public participation in government policy design has been further expanded and public services perceived by users are expanding. At this time, the role of the digital government and the direction of the service to be pursued are user-centered, and above all, it is necessary to focus on the keywords of pre-emptive, preventive, and customized. In order to propose service quality improvement in the public sector, service user-centered classification and monitoring are integrated and the usability of government documents is improved. It is necessary to identify the needs of whether to provide a path for public participation. In the post-corona era, people are accessing quarantine information from the digital government every day. The government should proactively respond to the acceleration of digital transformation and the non-face-to-face demands of the people who experience non-face-to-face daily life. In order to evolve into a smart organization along with the innovation promotion plan and to provide customized services, it is necessary to use existing guides for institutional and technical improvement, along with new technology and data-based analysis, to strive for change management. The government should seek counter-measures that have advanced one step ahead by incorporating new high-tech IT with user-centered necessary services. This study aims to derive improvement plans to provide user-centered digital government service design when designing public services and collecting public opinions. Based on the e-government development model research and the existing research on user-centered service design in the public sector, institutional and technical measures are provided for the improvement of digital government service design.

SME's(Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) have limited resources to build information systems on their own. They do not have effective information systems and not utilize e-business technology enough. The government thus have provided various supports for SME's IT developments. However, those supports do not seem so effective that SME's can operate appropriate information systems and do e-business well. The objective of this study is to develop conceptual policies for the government. We suggest an integrated government support which consists of three core stratigies: one-stop service center, outsourcing of public service, and triggering strategy. In order for the government support to be effective, the government should serve SME's needs continuously and professionally.

In modern times, it has been a most imporant problem for the community to make nation's information resources a\-ailable to all the people ~vithf ree and even access. In Nelson Associate's National platz for library service appeared in 1948, 50 million Americans were served by public libraries with inadequate service and 35 million have had no library service. Library Services Act signed bq- President Eisenhower in 1956 was a result of continuous efforts of AL.1 for 20 years. It aimed to extend public library service to rural population less than ten thousands. LSA was succeeded by LSCA in 1964 and continued with several amendments so far. 620 million dollars of Federal funds were put into local library administrati1.e agencies during 1957-1974 for the extension of library service and construction of library buildings. Federal funds also encouraged local library administrative agencies to ha\-e more interest in library and information service and carry out their own library programs. However, there are many current problems in Amierican pubic libraries still now, that is, uneven growth of public libraries, uneven distribution of information resources, inadequate library service to a large part of population, insufficient supply of library funds, lack of nationwide library network beyond local admini-strative jurisdictions and so on. National Advisory Commission on Libraries, Committee on Libraries, National Conference of Library and Inforination Science are results of government efforts to meet those problems and carry out effecti1.e nation's library policies. In other part, Congress authorized to open the White House Conference on Library and Information Science before 1978 to make a reco:nn:endation fostering the library use. It is expected that the elected President Carter will put more efforts in developing library and information services, for LSA and LSCA were mainly pushed ahead by Democratic Party. In conclusion I could find some factors through these analysis that would be of some help to develop nation's library and information services, especially in developing countries.

The term, eGovernmen or e-Government, uses technology communications devices such as computers and the Internet to provide public services to citizens and others. The eGovernment or e-government provides citizens with new opportunities to access the government directly and conveniently, while the government provides citizens with directservices. Also, in these days, cloud computing is a feature that enables users to use computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and on-demand computing power, without having to manage themselves. The term is commonly used to describe data centers that are available to many users over the Internet. Today, the dominant Big Cloud is distributed across multiple central servers. You can designate it as an Edge server if it is relatively close to the user. However, despite the prevalence of e-government and cloud computing, each of these concepts has evolved. Research attempts to combine these two concepts were not being made properly. For this reason, in this work, we aim to produce independent and objective analysis results by separating progress steps for the analysis of e-government cloud service platforms. This work will be done through an analysis of the development process and architectural composition of the e-government development standard framework and the cloud platform PaaS-TA. In addition, this study is expected to derive implications from an analysis perspective on the direction and service composition of the e-government cloud service platform currently being pursued.
