  • Mentoring by faculty advisors is closely related to the personal and professional outcomes of doctoral students. However, few researchers have examined the characteristics of faculty mentors. To deal with this lack of research, the author attempted to explore the characteristics of faculty mentors from the perspective of Library and Information Science (LIS) doctoral students in the United States. In the study, the author combined interviews and a survey to examine the characteristics of faculty mentors. The interview and survey findings present a list of characteristics that are comprehensive and specific to LIS doctoral education. Specifically, the author describes a faculty mentor as a well-rounded person who possesses both professional and interpersonal characteristics. In addition, the findings show some aspects in which the current advising/mentoring could improve. The current study offers a guideline for the accomplishment of doctoral mentoring at a concrete level, rather than vaguely recommending that faculty advisors support the professional and psychosocial development of their students. In a following paper, the author will relate background characteristics of doctoral students to their perception of mentors.

  • Socialization of doctoral students refers to the process through which they acquire various types of information about their work, department, university, and discipline for their future careers. This study aims to investigate information behaviors, with emphasis on identifying types of information exchanged in mentoring between faculty advisors and their doctoral students in library and information science (LIS). As a first step to developing a content framework for LIS doctoral mentoring, the author interviewed ten LIS doctoral students from nine U.S. universities. Based on data from these interviews, the author identified sixteen types of information exchanged: language, history, coursework, research, skills, teaching, networking, structure, politics, goals, strategies, values, norms/tradition, rules/policies, benefits, and personal life. In comparison with a content framework used, four dimensions were newly added. In addition to the identification of content dimensions, the author observed four meaningful contextual levels to which the content types can be applied: work, department/school, university, and discipline. The qualitative data also showed that interpersonal factors of advisees/advisors and contextual factors might relate to information exchange in doctoral mentoring. In a following paper, the author will present the results of a follow-up survey that tests and generalizes the findings of this study.

  • This paper uses 601 cited papers of Pakistani LIS researchers with the purpose to examine the individual performance of these Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers in terms of their research output and its impact on the LIS (national/international) literature by using various bibliometric indicators. A list of 139 authors was compiled with the help of the Library, Information Science, and Technology Abstracts (LISTA) and some other sources. Data were collected from Google Scholar and SPSS version 20 was utilized in order to identify the relationship between self-citations and various performance indices of the authors. The average citations received per paper vary from 1.80 to 10.08. About half of the papers were single-authored whereas less than one-fifth were by three or more authors. The authors who worked in collaboration produced more papers and received more citations. The h-index, g-index, hI-index, hI-norm, and e-index were used to determine the rank for each author. The intra-group citations grid revealed the volume of self-citations and a small group who cite each other more due to close academic and social relationships. The correlations between self-citations and the impact indices used revealed significant differences. Findings are useful for concerned institutions regarding award, promotions, etc. Further, future research should seriously consider the self-citations and social networking of authors while examining their citations-based research performance.

  • This study examined two characteristics of library and information science (LIS) journals in Korea through analysis of journal coupling with common authors. This study also illustrated the trend of Korean LIS research in the recent decade. The notable change is that record management and archival studies settle in LIS domain as a major research area. We introduced two indicators, Publishing Preference Index (PPI) and Researcher Attraction Index (RAI), based on the degree of common authors among journals. Both indicators revealed notable changes in author coupling, including reversal of PPIs in some journals, which can be interpreted as proof of changes in their author groups. The RAI analysis, which measured the degree of journals' attractiveness to Korean LIS researchers and author sharing between two journals, illustrated the journals' states in a domain; this result can help find both an isolated journal and strongly bonded journals in the specific domain. Journal coupling with common authors introduced in this study proved to be an effective investigative method for illustrating journals' states in a specified domain as well as a multidisciplinary area.

  • The bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici KFRI 168 exhibited a wide antimicrobial spectrum including many strains of lactic acid bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecium by both disk and deferred assay methods. Inhibition of Lis. monocytogenes and Stph. aureus were observed only from deferred assay. Gram-negative bacteria were not inhibited. Bacteriocin production was observed at 10 h, and was maximized at 16 h in MRS broth incubated at $37^{\circ}C$. In a beaker sausage fermented with P. acidilactici KFRI 168, viable counts of Stph. aureus, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens, and Lis. monocytogenes were reduced by 2.8, 2.3, 2.4, 0.7, and 0.5 log CFU/g, respectively. Inoculated P. acidilactici KFRI 168 maintained its viable count of more than $10^8$ CFU/g during the whole fermentation period, and it took less than 8 h to reduce sausage pH below 5.

  • This paper is intended to trace and management of a medical specimen and its report in a hospital. To avoid missing and decaying specimen and to establish of order in the circulation of specimen, at the moment sampling, RFID tags for each are on examiner. And then, specimen is monitored easily, quickly and, correctly. We developed implementation LIS system has better CQI (Continuos Quality Improvement) using RFID and XML, ADO.net, ASP.net, C# 2.0. RFID technology replaces to an existing the bar-code system. Also for more convenience, we used a PDA-RFID module. The LIS system consists of main sorrel, SQL 2005, event display and analysis web page developed using asp.net 2.0 and sharing specimen data information using XML technology.

  • 기존의 문서분류는 학습문서에 출현하는 자질에 대해 가중치를 계산하여 그 순위에 따라 상위 자질로 구성된 지식베이스를 사용하였다. 그리고 새로운 문서가 들어왔을 때 자질 지식베이스를 근거로 새 문서를 색인하였다. 결국 자질 지식베이스와 정확히 일치하지 않는 키워드는 색인대상에서 제외되는 문제가 있었다. 본 고에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 분류될 문서의 특징을 나타내는 범주별 자질과 유사한의미를 가지나 형태가 변형되어 기술된 단어에 대하여 유사어 사전을 구축하였으며 이를 통해 새로운 문서가 범주에 할당될 가능성을 높여 자동 문서 범주화 시스템의 성능을 향상시키고자 한다.
