This study presented basic data to be collected by the National Library for the Disabled in preparation for the construction of an independent library building and expansion of its scope. Due to legal and practical limitations, the National Library for the Disabled must invest annual budget to collect materials for the disabled and focus on purchasing them. In addition, it is necessary to establish a strategy for comprehensive collection of educational and academic resources, as well as retrospective materials. Accordingly, this study conducted basic research to comprehensively collect resources on the disabled based on the current collection development policy of the National Library for the Disabled. Ten institutions were selected for investigation, and trends in the publication and collection of materials related to disabled people and disability-related data were analyzed based on the data obtained from those institutions. The basic collection catalog presented can serve as foundational data to determine the resources to be collected by the National Library for the Disabled in the future.

It is widely known that agricultural plastic waste incineration by farmers may cause big forest fire or fine dust in rural areas. Hence, how to increase the rate of collection and recycling of the agricultural plastic waste is of concern to policy makers especially for rural environment. The purpose of this study is to find the determinants of the collection rate of agricultural plastic waste. This study used the data from 'Research on Agricultural Waste' by the Korea Environment Corporation from year 2012 to 2015 for 163 regions. This study found that the compensation rate for collection, the frequency of collecting services, and the quality of waste are important to increase the collection rate. And the regions with more elderly and low income people are more likely to have higher collection rate. Finally, the chief producing regions that are specialized in a certain crop shows higher collection rate.

National libraries have a responsibility to intensively develop, preserve, and provide national collections, which are the knowledge and cultural heritage of a country. In particular, in order to achieve 'advancing the base for access and preservation of national knowledge resources' among the four goals to fulfill the mission of the National Library of Korea, it is necessary to strengthen the national knowledge resources by expanding the external scope to not only domestic materials but also foreign materials. In other words, The National Knowledge Information Center collects the latest and retroactive data produced in Korea, as well as high-quality academic materials produced, distributed, and preserved in foreign countries as well as materials related to Korea. This study drew implications by investigating and analyzing the status of foreign collection and services of national libraries in developed countries. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the current level of collection of foreign collections of the National Library of Korea, and then present a strategy to secure high-quality academic and foreign materials related to Korea.

Thirty seven species of Fusarium were evaluated for their ability of producing extracellular enzymes using chromogenic medium containing substrates such as starch, cellobiose, CM-cellulose, xylan, and pectin. Among the tested species Fusarium mesoamericanum, F. graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. acuminatum showed high ${\beta}$-glucosidase acitivity. Xylanase activity was strongly detected in F. proliferatum and F. oxysporum. Strong pectinase activity was also found in F. oxysporum and F. proliferatum. Amylase activity was apparent in F. oxysporum. No clear activity in cellulase was found from all the Fusarium species tested.

The present survey aimed at analyzing factors influencing the development of the university library collection, with the special reference to the case of the Education Collection of the Pusan National University Library. For this, the present researchers have identified two areas of influencing factors, i.e.., library factors and user factors. Library factors included collection development policy, manpower, materials received as gift and budget. User factors included faculty and students. For analyzing the factors, the present researchers have relied on qualitative research techniques, using heavily documents produced within the case library, interviews librarians, faculty and students, and observation.

Due to the rapid changes of information environment, the libraries are needed to consider not only analog resources but also digital resources for collection development policy to fit the digital age. However, the libraries have difficulties to build digital collection development policy for collecting and archiving the digital resources because different from the analog resources, characteristics of digital information resources are not contained in physical medium and not allowed ownership but remote access by licensing. Especially, national libraries that have the mission to collect, preserve and transmit knowledge and cultural heritage to the next generation face even more serious challenges. This study intends to figure out the core elements of digital collection development policy through comparison of domestic and overseas national library policies tried to overcome the difficulties.

The Korean National Agrobiodiversity Center holds the more than 1300 accessions of proso millet, but a large portion of accessions are landrace of Korea that has very similar traits. To comprehend the maximum genetic diversity of this crop, a core collection with minimum number of accessions will facilitate easy access to genetic material. Here we assessed the genetic diversity and population structure in a germplasm collection of 830 accessions by employing EST-SSR markers and morphological traits. A total of 107 alleles were detected with an average allele number of 4.9 per locus among the 830 accessions based on 37 EST-SSR markers. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7. Polymorphism information content and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.06 to 0.68 (mean = 0.21) and 0.06 to 0.73 (mean = 0.23), respectively. The germplasm collection was separated into two groups based on population structure analysis, whereas principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) could not cluster accessions according to their geographic origin. Subsequently, a preliminarily developed core collection with a total of 141 accessions (17%) was selected from the whole set of germplasm by combining allelic variations of EST-SSR markers and eight different phenotypic traits. The core collection optimally represented the whole germplasm collection and displayed a similar level of PCoA value and genetic variation from the initial collection. The results obtained here provide a primary resource for further genetic analysis and establish a reference for further development of appropriate genetic breeding strategies.

For this article, we conducted frequency analysis, topic modeling, and network analysis on eleven texts related to collection development policy found in the National Library of Korea. We deduced the main keywords related to collection development policies and analyzed the relationship between them. We subsequently conducted a pie coefficient analysis to identify the characteristics of collection development policies of university libraries and public libraries by category. The results showed that keywords such as "material," "library," "collection development," "user," and "collection" were the main keywords in frequency analysis and network centrality. Meanwhile, the pie coefficient analysis revealed that keywords such as "university," "construction," "student," "target," and "cost" were prevalent in university libraries, indicating that the academic needs of users and the discussion of digital resources were primary issues, while keywords related to the information needs of various user groups-including "adults," "survey," "feature," and "religion" -appeared in public libraries.
