This study was conducted under the premise of providing the model for the construction of the library and the digital library in PUST, the joint construction from South and North Korea. First, we determined the problems in the construction of digital libraries as well as possible issues that may rise from the construction of the digital library in PUST. The results of the research showed that there were imminent problems from the operation of a digital library with the inadequate progress in the Held of copyright. In addition, the difference in the language system and the knowledge foundations of the two countries will produce problems in the homepage access, database construction, and information retrieval. In order to overcome these predictable problems, this research proposes the following: (1) parallel operation of both digital and high-drive libraries; (2) duplexing the homepage through the application of unicode concerning the digital library; (3) development and application of converted letter codes through the establishment of NCHAR data type; and (4) construction of an authority database.

The purpose of this study is to conceptualize PUST (Public understanding or science and technology) with a new theoretical perspective and to measure the Korean PUST through a national survey. Then, it suggests policy implications of improving the Korean public understanding of science and technology. Our new theoretical perspective is focused on an information receiver's one rather than an information provider's one. Thus, we concepualized PUST as a process of engagement: how a citizen becomes to be engaged to science or technology. It does not stress how hard s/he is pushed to learn science or technology. A national survey was done by a face-to-face interview method. About 1,200 adults were sampled from 18 or more years old population by a stratified area sampling method which had been used as a common and reliable one in South Korea. Each half of the total sample were for science or technology. The survey was conducted in September, 2001. We found that many Korean adults had positive but disproportionate impressions of science or technology that were related mostly to utilities for life such as computer, internet, car, refrigerator, television, etc. Most of them failed to continue to be engaged to sciences and technologies after first exposure to them through compulsory education. They were not able to relate sciences or technologies to solving individual or social salient problems. This study shows that PUST would be improved by our engagement to sciences or technologies through their relationship with social problems or issues.

본 연구에서는 한국천문연구원이 2008년 말부터 운영하고 있는 찾아가는 이동천문대 '스타-카'를 이용한 과학문화 확산 프로그램의 효율성을 높이기 위한 방안을 모색해 보았다. 기존의 프로그램은 과학관에서 전통적으로 사용하고 있는 PUST(Public Understand of S&T) 방식으로 일반적인 강연 및 관측 프로그램의 진행 등으로 구성되어 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구는 STEAM 등 최근 과학교육 및 과학대중화 활동에서 사용하고 있는 시도 중의 하나인 PEST(Public Engagement with S&T)를 활용하여 스타-카 프로그램을 개선해서 실제 현장에서 적용한 결과를 소개하려 한다. 개선된 프로그램으로 찾아가는 이동천문대 프로그램을 운용한 결과로 과학기술정보통신부(구 미래창조과학부)에서 '교육기부 대상' 및 '고객만족도 우수사례'로 선정된 바 그 사례를 소개해 볼 예정이다.
