Are the benefits derived from ICT based reference and information service worth the financial and other commitments devoted to it? In an attempt to answer this, this study delved into finding out the perceived benefits; the rational for ICT based reference services in Nigerian university libraries. The main objectives were to find out the purposes for using ICT facilities in reference services delivery and the perceived benefits derived from using ICT resources in reference and information services. Being a survey, questionnaire was used to collect data from the librarians of twelve (12) universities; two (2) each sampled from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Data was analyzed using frequencies, mean scores and standard deviations. ANOVA statistical analysis was used to test the hypothesis of no significance difference in the benefits derived from ICT based reference services using p-value of 0.05 to calculate the level of significance. Findings showed that librarians and library users made use of ICT facilities for different reference purposes especially to obtain information they need using the internet. Other reference needs for which patrons used the ICT facilities included: - access to current e-books and e - journals, user education and access to global information in other libraries. Provision of current awareness services (CAS) and selective dissemination of information services (SDI), on-line searching using workstations in the library, provision of on-line public access catalogue (OPAC) services, keeping statistics of users of the reference section and compilation of bibliographies. Further findings showed that the librarians and library users derive a lot of benefits from their use of ICT facilities in reference services. The results showed that easy retrieval and dissemination of information to patrons were ranked highest by the librarians amongst others.

전자 학술 정보 유통의 확대에 따라 날로 증가되는 학술 콘텐츠 서비스 수요에 부응하기 위하여 보다 효과적인 학술 콘텐츠 추천 시스템 개발이 요구된다. 학술 콘텐츠 추천 시스템은 정보 소비자의 과거 이용 내역을 기반으로 각 소비자 선호(preference)에 맞는 학술 콘텐츠를 제공함으로써 콘텐츠 이용성을 보다 효과적으로 향상 시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 특정 기관에 소속된 사용자의 선호에 더욱 부합하는 학술 콘텐츠를 제공하기 위하여 기관의 전자 저널 구독 정보 및 웹 이용 로그를 활용한 저널 추천 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 추천 기법에서는 기관 사용자의 저널 선호도를 효과적으로 예측하기 위하여 기관 유사도(Institution similarity), 그리고 참고문헌의 인용 관계 데이터를 기반으로 저널 유사도(Journal similarity) 및 저널 중요도(Journal importance)를 산출하여 최종적으로 기관 맞춤형 저널 추천 항목을 구성하게 된다. 또한, 제안하는 추천기법이 적용된 기관 맞춤형 저널 추천 시스템 프로토타입을 개발한다. 개발된 저널 추천 시스템은 각 기관의 저널 선호도 예측을 위하여 활용되는 웹 이용로그를 효과적으로 수집하고 이를 추천 기법에 활용하기 용이한 데이터로 가공 처리 하여 별도의 데이터베이스에 저장하여 추천 기법의 저널 선호도 예측을 위한 기반 데이터로 활용한다. 마지막으로 우리는 기존 추천 기법들과의 비교 성능 평가를 통해 제안 기법의 차별성과 우수성을 보인다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe married female migrants' experiences of health care services and to help nursing researchers, nursing educators, and clinical nurses understand married female migrants' experiences. Method: A conventional content analysis method was utilized. Individual in-depth interviews with 15 married female migrants were conducted. Subject recruitment was performed at a district in Seoul. Results: Ten categories were induced: language barrier, financial burden, insufficient time with a physician, complexity of utilization process, lack of support from peer group, health care providers' discrimination, anxiety regarding lack of information about children's health, health care providers' concerns and efforts to minimize the language barrier, family support, and advanced health care service environment. Conclusion: This study provides basic knowledge regarding married female migrants' experiences related to health care services. Future research should designate and utilize valid instruments to measure the positive and negative experiences and to explore strategies to strengthen the positive features while eliminating the negative ones. Finally, the Korean nursing education curriculum should include cultural competence and knowledge about an ethnic minority's right to health service utilization.

Purpose: This study sought to develop a scale to evaluate patient-centered healthcare services at hospitals and verify its reliability and validity. Methods: We conducted a literature review and interviewed medical personnel and practitioners in medical institutions. We also conducted a content validation and preliminary survey of experts, including 40 preliminary items. We conducted the main survey among 240 medical institution workers to assess the validity and reliability of the preliminary measurement tool. Results: The validity and reliability of the scale were assessed by 29 items underlying six factors: ease of communication, continuity and extension of the hospital's role, stable environment, emotional support, respect for patients' values, and offer of information. Cronbach's α of the whole tool was .91, while the value of each factor ranged from .82 to .74, thereby verifying its reliability. Conclusion: The patient-centered healthcare services scale was identified as a tool appropriate for healthcare professionals. This tool will be useful in a diverse range of research on the development of educational programs for patient-centered healthcare services and the promotion of patient-centered causes.

우리나라가 학술연구도서관을 국제경쟁력을 갖춘 세계 수준의 도서관으로 육성하고자 한다면, 선진제국이나 경쟁국들에 비해 열악한 국가 지식정보자원의 총량을 제고하고, 그 활용을 극대화할 수 있는 노력을 강구해야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 그러한 노력 가운데 국가차원의 해외 지식정보자원의 수집 및 유통 체계의 확립이 선결사항이라고 여기면서, 이를 위해 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있도록 국내 학술연구도서관이 해외 지시정보자원의 수집을 위해 지출하는 연간 예산 규모를 산정하고자 시도하였다. 우선, 국외도서 및 해외학술지 등 인쇄물 중심의 해외 지식정보자원 총 수집 예산, 해외 전자저널의 총 구독 예산, 해외 웹 DB의 총 구독 예산은 대학도서관과 전문도서관으로 구분하여 추산하였고, 그리고, 해외 문헌복사서비스의 총 이용 예산은 도서관의 관종을 구분하지 않고 추산하였다.

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate discovery layer search tools for retrieval of legal information in Indian law libraries. This paper covers current practices in legal information retrieval with special reference to Indian academic law libraries, and analyses its importance in the domain of law.Design/Methodology/Approach. A web survey and observational study method are used to collect the data. Data related to the discovery tools were collected using email and further discussion held with the discovery layer/ tool /product developers and their representatives.Findings. Results show that most of the Indian law libraries are subscribing to bundles of legal information resources such as Hein Online, JSTOR, LexisNexis Academic, Manupatra, Westlaw India, SCC web, AIR Online (CDROM), and so on. International legal and academic resources are compatible with discovery tools because they support various standards related to online publishing and dissemination such as OAI/PMH, Open URL, MARC21, and Z39.50, but Indian legal resources such as Manupatra, Air, and SCC are not compatible with the discovery layers. The central index is one of the important components in a discovery search interface, and discovery layer services/tools could be useful for Indian law libraries also if they can include multiple legal and academic resources in their central index. But present practices and observations reveal that discovery layers are not providing facility to cover legal information resources. Therefore, in the present form, discovery tools are not very useful; they are an incomplete and half solution for Indian libraries because all available Indian legal resources available in the law libraries are not covered.Originality/Value. Very limited research or published literature is available in the area of discovery layers and their compatibility with legal information resources.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to analyze the state of hospital-based home care (HC) services annually and to provide basic information for research and policy regarding home care. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of the yearly state of HC services from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Services from 2007 to 2012. Results: The decreased by 34.6%, from 214 agencies in 2007 to 140 in 2012. The annual average number of active home care nurses was 440, which included 6.7% of the licensed home care nurses until 2012. The annual average number of HC patients were 32,000, and this number decreased by 21% in 2012, compared to that of 2008. Of the HC patients, about 70% were over 60 years of age. The chronic diseases among HC patients have been decreasing steadily since 2007. Seventy to eighty percent of the home visits were made in general hospitals or higher level hospitals. The total medical cost for HC services was 21 billion won in 2007, which consisted of 0.06% of the national medical costs, and it was 22 billion won and 0.03% in 2012. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, further research on HC services is necessary to frame policies for the expansion of HC agencies.
