The main factors for successful records management are the organization and human resources, and the responsibilities and authority that are assigned to them. Therefore, the innovation of public records management should include i) redefining the role of records management institutions to meet the requirements of professional standards, ii) improving organizational setup and staffing policies, and eliminating the legal obstacles. This paper aims to suggest the innovation tasks above areas for strengthening the expertise of each type of public records institution. The tasks are presented in four categories, such as the records centers, local archives, institutional archives of legislative body and Judicial authorities, and professionalism and ethics. Based on parts of the Public Records Management Innovation TF(2017.9-2017.12) report, it is rearranged considering the pending issues and reflecting the opinions of the record managers in public sectors to reinforce the basis for setting the tasks.

This study aims to explore the 'affective value' of records. Traditionally, records have been evaluated as having evidence value, information value, and artificial value. However, the 'affective turn' in the humanities and social sciences, which began in the 1990s, calls for discussion on the affective value of records. The overseas archive academia is in full swing discussing the emotional value of records after the 'affective turn'. However, there is no emotional discussion on records in the domestic archive academia. This study first conducts theoretical discussions to overcome these domestic limitations and explore the emotional value of archives in earnest. Following the theoretical discussion, a specific case will be dealt with next. As a representative storage of affect, which records the pain, sadness, and condolences of the domestic disaster era, this study investigates the record management case of the 4.16 Memory Storage. The Ferry Sewol disaster, which provided a dramatic opportunity to witness the unexpected ripple effect of affect in Korea, and the 4.16 Memory Storage as a recording activity, can be seen as a representative example of affective recording of the pain and sadness of survivors of the trauma incident. It will capture the differentiation of affet recording, which is different from the record management practice, and demonstrate empirically how this differentiation is implemented from collection to evaluation and service through the '4.16 Memory Storage'.

This paper aims to determine the impact of knowledge creation and sharing on use by librarians in federal universities in Nigeria. The study adopted the survey method of the correlation type, where 518 librarians were surveyed through a close-ended questionnaire, descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient and multiple regression were used to test the hypotheses. Findings indicate that significant relationships exist between knowledge creation and knowledge sharing (r=0.52), knowledge sharing and knowledge use (r=0.63) and knowledge creation and knowledge use (r=0.52), respectively. Knowledge created and shared by the librarians is used for better work performance. The paper adds value to the existing body of knowledge by proposing the need to understand the importance of knowledge creation and sharing as facilitators of knowledge use by librarians. This will, in turn, enhance service delivery to library patrons, thereby improving library patronage. This paper is limited to knowledge creation and sharing and its impact on knowledge use. Types of knowledge created and channels through which knowledge is shared are outside the focus of this article.

Photometric investigations of asteroids allow us to determine their rotation states and shape models (Apostolovska et al. 2014). Our main target, asteroid (2078) Nanking's perihelion distance (q) is 1.480 AU, which belongs to the Mars-crossing asteroid (1.3 < q < 1.66 AU). Mars-crossing asteroids are objects that cross the orbit of Mars and regarded as one of the primary sources of near-Earth asteroids due to the unstable nature of their orbits. We present the analysis of the spin parameters and 3D shape model of (2078) Nanking. We conducted Cousins_R-band time-series photometry of this asteroid from November 26, 2014 to January 17, 2015 at the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO) and for 25 nights from March to April 2016 using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) to reconstruct its physical model with our dense photometric datasets. Using the lightcurve inversion method (Kaasalainen & Torppa 2001; Kaasalainen et al. 2001), we determine the pole orientation and shape model of this object based on our lightcurves along with the archival data obtained from the literatures. We derived rotational period of 6.461 h, the preliminary ecliptic longitude (${\lambda}_p$) and latitude (${\beta}_p$) of its pole as ${\lambda}_p{\sim}8^{\circ}$ and ${\beta}_p{\sim}-52^{\circ}$ which indicates a retrograde rotation of the body. From the apparent W UMa-shaped lightcurve and its location in the rotation frequency-amplitude plot of Sheppard and Jewitt (2004), we suspect the contact binary nature of the body (Choi 2016).

The first Protestant medical missionary, Horace Allen, came to Korea in 1884 and built the first western-style hospital, Jaejungwon. John Heron, Oliver Avison and other foreign medical doctors soon followed. They established hospitals and medical schools, and, by treating patients and educating native doctors, they disseminated and developed modern medicine in Korea. At the same time, they wrote letters and reports to their sponsoring agencies, as well as family and friends, thereby leaving a vast body of literature that is scattered all over the world. Since the end of the 19th century, the records left by foreign medical missionaries have been valuable resources for the study of Korean history. While all types of records, such as diaries, memoirs, reports and travel logs, are available, these tend to be exaggerated or unverifiable because they are unilateral records. In contrast, letters can be verified because they are bilateral records between the recipient and the sender, and cannot be modified or altered according to changes in circumstances. Despite the academic value of these materials, however, there have been insufficient efforts to discover or identify these primary data sources, or to systematically organize them for scholars. This paper identified 49 archival collections from 29 institutions in North America. After analyzing their academic value, the paper will explore digital humanities options in utilizing the letters for future scholarship.

This study try to establish the method on the archiving of a village experimentally. For this study three standpoints were investigated. We discriminate between the theory and practice on general archives management and village archiving. We should grasp that the practice of village archiving is a means to the movement of village community reconstruction. And we clear up the point that village archiving head for the community ownership and the communication. This study clarified what were the constituent units in a village and what were the archives that were producted by the constituent units in a village. It is helpful for the development of the strategy on a village to identify concretely the objects of village archiving. The main body who lead the village archiving is not archivist only. But he should be a man who serve his community and have the competency to deal with archives professionally simultaneously. The suggestion of village archiving in this study has the meaning that Korean archivists should get over the model of elite so that seek after new way of the going down to the archiving fields. village, community, the ordinance for the reconstruct of the beautiful village community, activistic archivist, archiving movement going down to the village fields, archiving by participation of community.

For cope with the participating government promoted local decentralization of the present time, local governments are coming to aim at the realization of local governance. Local governance refers to a way of solving public problems of urban area through partnership which is a collaboration and participation based on 'relationship' among diverse interested parties such as executive authority of policy, private sectors. First of all, it is most important task to make transparency and responsibility of all people and networks by themselves through sharing information. With like this kind of a background, local assembly is an momentos body of local governance because it is a decision making organization at the same time as a representative organization of local residents, and it has a relationship of 'check and balance' with chiefs of local governments as an organization monitoring and supervising the administration of an executive authority. Not the less, information about local assembly does not open to the public or exist. Even some informations open to the public, they are not enough to be settled distrust and low-valuation by civil society. Now Local assembly is face to a point that improve over all of record management. This study is based like this critical mind, then, it examines throughly local assembly's realities by suggestion with reforming plan of record management. Record can embody true values when record management practices indefatigably through prudential system from production until preservation. Accordingly, this study suggests management of transaction unit without the omission of record. Also this study is satisfy the condition of Korean record management system with proposals of record management policy and establishment of record center. At the conclusion of study, it puts effects into shape that local assembly secure transparency and responsibility and organize local governance by record management.

This study is focused on clarifying the Joseon Dynasty Period's records management system mentioned on Kyeonggukdaejeon(經國大典). Through out investigations of the legislations of public records in 'creating stage', it was revealed. that is, records in creating stage had characters of original records and those was managed as the records themselves and circulated by sending and receiving, and finally those was kept and used in each agency. Through out investigations of the legislations of public records in 'management stage', it was revealed that is, as the Records Management Organization the Chunchukwan(春秋館) was a government agency that is composed by 15 central government agencies' concurrent officials(兼任史官) and took charge of both records creating and records management, and was a central government body for compilation of the Sillok(實錄). As National Archives the Sillok was not accessible at that time. In this point the Sillok is basically different from modem archives that is preserved for use. And the Sillok was compiled from original records, In this point the Sillok is basically different from modern archives that is arranged from original records.

This study aims to analyze the details of the executive order of the president of the United States, which have been developed in the country's administrative system to institutionalize the guarantee of the people's right to know the classified records, as well as to protecting national secrets. This study also aims to present any implications for the development of the classified record management system of Korea. To this end, the previously issued EO concerning the classified records management were reviewed in terms of its classification, safeguard, and declassification. The analysis results showed that the EO by the president established and prescribed the special access program for national secrets, the system to exempt and suspend the automatic declassification, and the sanctions for protecting national secrets. The EO also established and prescribed the appointment system for the person with the authority to classify record, automatic declassification program, and Mandatory declassification review system, as well as the procedures for historical researcher and certain former government personal to access the classified records with the purpose of guaranteeing people's right to know. As a result, this study identified implications for the development of Korea's classified record management system, as follows : First, it is necessary to restructure the current classified record management system, by changing the operations that is dependent on the director of the National Intelligence Service to the one that is dependent on the President. Second, it is necessary to legislate a separate special law for the classified record management system. Third, a standing supervisory body should be established for the integrated management and for the consistent and routine supervision of the classified record management. Fourth, it is necessary to establish procedures to further review the classification of classified record to correct the defects of the current classification system, which has been abused and mismanaged by the national agencies and organizations that produce classified record.
