All libraries are forums for information and ideas. Therefore, libraries must have systematic devices through which library users can make use of library materials freely. The systematic devices usually have the form of Library Bill of Rights. The aim of this study is to offer basic data in case our country adopt Library Bill of Rights in the near future. In this thesis, the significance of Library Bill of Rights was investigated and the common components were drawn from the analysis of the changing processes and contents of Library Bill of Rights in the USA and Japan. In the USA and Japan, the Library Association an official institution adopted Library Bill of Rights and established permanent departments to keep and develop Library Bill of Right as well as to solve the problems such as infringement of freedom of library. The common components of Library Bill of Rights are as follows: freedom to collect materials, freedom to provide materials, right to refuse censorship, cooperation with the persons ind groups concerned, a person's rights to use a library, fair use of the library facilities, and protection users' privacy.

This study starts off by stating that the lack of awareness in the importance of reasonable and systematized layout in management facility is essentially working against building a quality public library. And that there is a merit in studying the spatial elements, its density, amount of needed space, and the likes to efficiently deal with present workings of the library which are becoming more dynamic and complicated. This paper seeks to embark on this study and also to provide a foundational data for research on management facility of the public library. The paper bases its research on 10 public libraries which are located in Seoul City and in Gyeonggi province, and are built after the year 2000. The paper focuses on the spatial distribution by section and allotment of management facility space in the library. Consequently, to find solutions or to suggest improvements on problems encountered, the paper introduces Japan's cases (4 recently-built public libraries) as a foreign case study. With foregoing domestic and foreign library case analyses, and the survey results of managerial staffs' demands, the paper seeks to provide basic data about management facility space and its floorplan of the public library. The paper bases its research on pubic libraries' management facilities, and expects to contribute to the efficient building of the public library in the future.

Traditional role of library is focused on the book collection and its reference service. However, library should be stressed the need of educational activity in the future. This study described to classify the roles of public library, which are book collecting and its reference services, educational activities, event place service for region community. Observation survey on the public libraries in Boston and its Vicinity shows that public libraries have various children's programs and they are getting more important roles. Public libraries of case study have done not only the roles for reference service space but also the informal lifelong education institute for region community. Library as the informal lifelong education institute deserve special emphasis on the development of education program.

Using the library users' data in Lake County Public Library Systems, Florida, US, this study discussed how geographic information systems can be applied in LIS fields. These data were analyzed with such GIS functions as geocoding, Thiessen polygon, density, buffer, and distance measurement. Results indicate that findings from a study of these functions allowed for, not only a better understanding of the geographic locations of library users and user's library activity patterns, but also for the ability to identify library market areas for future library service planning. Additionally, results from a study of the Thiesen polygon and buffer functions indicated the distance impact on library use. Regarding the travel distance of library users, the measurement of distance using road networks was suggested.

In architecture projects, BIM library has widely been using for prefabrication of products and design process. However, since the shape of structures is different by each project in civil engineering projects and a shape representation system is complicated, it is not easy to develop a standardized BIM library. To solve these issues, this study develops BIM library based on standardized 2D shop drawings for civil structures. The standardized shop drawings, which are the targets of the BIM library model, should be first selected. Besides, in order to define modeling scope with the level of general and shop drawings for each structure, LOD(Level of Detail) and breakdown structure are determined, and development methods of families of 3D object type including 2D profile and rebar through commercial software are established. With these, properties of BIM library are configured, and a utilization model of the BIM libraries is constructed for 3D modeling and a simulation using the BIM library. Therefore, this study can identify properties that are necessary when IFC schema is configured for civil engineering projects. For future, it is expected that easiness of BIM design for the civil engineering projects and generation, management, and analysis system of BIM library for road projects will be secured.

A digital library could be understood as not a part of information cycling, but whole process of information production, circulation and reproduction. This study suggests that a digital library should be a creator as which it is publishing, circulating, and re-producing the information resources. Therefore, the role of intrinsic DRM (Digital Resources Management) can be interpreted as a digital library. Open access model have been already adopted to many university libraries, many university libraries are publishing free access online research resources by themselves. Also, research collection based on cloud computing can be extended to networked research collection and share with other university libraries. These evidences show future library can be the digital library with online and open accessible publishing function.
