Article 50 and article 18 related to orphan works in the Copyright Act of Korea and Enforcement Decree of the Copyright Act of Korea define 'considerable efforts' to locate copyright owners. This study analyzed the reasonableness of the efforts for mass digitization in libraries. The findings of the study were the duplication of searches on the 'Finding Copyright' website and the inquire to copyright trust management organizations by document, ambiguity of search criteria through information networks, and problems due to non-use of international standard identifiers in managing works on copyright register, works with undistributed compensation, and copyright trust management organizations. This study suggests that copyright trust management organizations should register trust works, the government should develop a guideline for detail guidance for searching information networks, and copyright works should be managed using international standard identifiers.

As the information technology is evolved and the human genome project is finalized over the world, the Bioinformatics - the integration of abundant Biological science and information technology - has shown up and is continuously being advanced. Together with the evolution of Bioinformatics, the websites dealing with Bioinformation have been set up to provide relevant information to the Bioscientists. Among the numerous global websites, the preferred websites by the majority of domestic Bioscientists are BRIC (Biological Research Information Center) of POSTECH(Pohang University of Science and Technology) in Korea, CCBB(Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics) of KISTI(Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information), KOBIC(Korean Bioinformation Center) of KRIBB(Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology), NCBI(National Center for Biotechnology Information) in USA, EBI(European Bioinformatics Institute) in Europe and DDBJ(DNA Data Bank of Japan) in Japan. In this paper, the comparative analysis was executed by investigating contents status and functions of the above-mentioned 6 websites. In addition, questionnaire survey of Bioscience Researchers' utilization status and their needs to those 6 websites was conducted.

During the COVID-19 period, public libraries produced and provided a variety of online contents to users as an alternative to offline services. The purpose of this study was to analyze the overall management of online contents in public libraries in the post COVID-19 period and to provide a methodological basis for improving online contents management. This study surveyed the overall current state of online content management in 305 public libraries in terms of production, services, and preservation. We also analyzed the librarian's perception of the online contents management process. As a result of the analysis even after the COVID-19 period, public libraries are efficiently producing and providing online contents and are actively providing this through the library website and social media. In addition, librarians recognized that online contents produced by public libraries are valuable as library resources and predicted that the online content would be produced more in the future. Also, they faced difficulties in production and management due to a lack of professional capabilities and extra workload, but they have recognized the high need for online contents management. Online contents is leading a paradigm shift in public library services. Therefore, attention and effort to activate online content is no longer an option but a necessity.

This research aims to explore faculty research support systems in university libraries, assess their service performance for faculty research, and suggest the need and roadmap for new service development. We perform in-depth analyses of not only the current university library evaluation criteria as part of the overall university evaluation criteria, but also ten university libraries in the United States and two university libraries in Korea. Thorough benchmarking studies reveal the problems of the current university library evaluation criteria in its advances and limitations of current faculty support service systems. Especially this research suggests to develop a one-stop service execution wheel for the roadmap for the faculty research support system which is based on customer relationship management(CRM) for one-to-one, mass-personalized services to the faculty.

We investigated how combining different types of images with written text affects the comprehension of health related information. The types of images were picture, photograph, and X-ray. 47 four year college students were recruited for the experiment. The independent variables in this study included information presentation format, vividness of image, and the degree of awareness for the disease. The dependent variables were recognition and recall for information. The results showed that the information with images in recognition and recall had higher score than information with written text only. In regard to the effect of different kinds of images on comprehension of health information, information with picture had higher score than the information with photograph and X-ray. The vividness of image were found to work as a negative factor on the recognition of information. Finally, the degree of awareness of disease also failed to have any significant effect on subjects' recall and recognition. This research has implications for the contents design of health related website.

This research was conducted to evaluate whether knowledge and information resources produced in four educational institutions function as a knowledge management system in the institutions, and to suggest a proposed plan for the foundation of the national knowledge management system. Knowledge and information resources available on the institutes' websites were classified as 'knowledge and information resources of result', 'knowledge and information resources of process', and 'knowledge and information resources of communication'. The application of metadata and the configuration of the search system were examined by content analysis method. From the result, 8 ways to improve the management of knowledge and information resources have been found; the development of standardized metadata and classification scheme, high recognition that the website is a counter for external distribution of knowledge and information resources, various searching skills and the provision of knowledge maps available, provision of linked information for original information acquisition, awareness of the agency managers and homepage managers to the homepages as knowledge management systems, segmentation of appropriate data size unit in a mobile environment work, an organic linkage function of the internal electronic approval system and the homepage have been proposed.

In the field of science and technology, influential international journals can easily be found in SCIE. A total number of journals published by societies or institutes in Korea are only 82 of the 8,300 SCIE titles. In this study, in light of the SCI criteria the detailed analysis, of these journals was performed for Korean SCIE journals. The results show that in general domestic journals were not actively cited, had a low level of internationality, and user services through the website was insufficient. Korean SCIE journals should continue to complement these points and elevate its reputation. Candidate journals should concentrate on recruiting more excellent papers, promoting communication with foreign researchers, enhancing domestic and international public relations, and the like. To actively support the domestic publication of excellent journals, long-term and short-term measures should be established and consistently practiced at the national level.
