Fire load in buildings greatly contribute to the time and scale of fire according to the type and quantity of the fire load. Because bookstores have a large quantity of fire load compared with other buildings which may lead to large scale fires, however, their heat release characteristics have been hardly investigated. In this study, to obtain the data applicable for the performance-based fire safety design of bookstores, the specimens representing stacked fire loads were heated in a furnace in compliance with the standard heating curve of ISO834-1:1999 to investigate their heat release characteristics. From the experiment result, the combustion velocity and heat release rate required for performancebased fire safety designs are obtained.

There is a growing interest in user-centered classification or reader-interest classification, as questions have arisen from the meanings and the effects of traditional library classification. American public libraries have used fiction genre classification called bookstore model as an alternative to the traditional classification schemes. As a result, accessibility to the collection was promoted and library service for their users was improved. This study intends to make a comprehensive inquiry about the philosophical background and functional features of genre classification. To the end, literature survey and interviews or e-mails with librarians in American public libraries were conducted.

Utilization of underground floor is becoming the main issue of our society to maximize and diversify the potential of recent urban space. It has brought about the changes of underground floor. Recently there are lots of huge bookstores in these underground floor. Bleach, adhesive and ink used for manufacturing books pollute indoor air in bookstore. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze indoor air quality in these large bookstores. Concentrations of carbon dioxide and formaldehyde in three large bookstores in Seoul were measured by presence and type of books and distance of main entrance which is well-ventilated. According to the data, space that places lots of volumes measured higher concentration of formaldehyde than that of non-existence books. Children's book section was measured more concentration of formaldehyde than other book section. Closer main entrance near outside, lower concentration of formaldehyde was measured. Concentration of carbon dioxide was affected by the number of people in bookstore.

This paper examined the structure of internet bookstore users' subjectivity by focusing on their beliefs, values and attitudes.0 methodology was utilized for the study. After constituting 36 Q sample and 28 P sample, data were collect from April 15, 2005 to April 22 2005. The analyses showed 3 types of subjectivity structures. The first one was 'the economic benefit-seeking type.' Those in this type were motivated to use internet bookstores to achieve economic benefits. They paid more attention to the Prices discounted than the web site contents provided by internet bookstores. This type was conspicuously found among college students. The second one was the 'information-seeking type.' People in this category made visits to internet bookstores in order to obtain new information or professional materials. This type was dominantly found among women. The third one was the 'convenience-seeking type.' Those in this type were concerned not only with the accessibility and convenience, but also with such practical issues as delivery, price, applicability, payment, and bonus. This type was conspicuously observed among white collar workers. These findings suggests that in order to make internet bookstores more attractive to users, it is demanded to understand various needs held by users and map out sophisticated marketing strategies on the basis of such a knowledge.

In Korea, the independent publication market has grown since it came into existence in the 1990s. In 2008, the country's first independent bookstores selling independent publications opened. As of late 2019, there were a total of 466 independent bookstores in Korea and the number of independent bookstores rapidly increased for the last decade. However, the closing rate of independent bookstores is rapidly increasing. This trend is also shown in independent bookstores in Gwangju. Recently, the closing rate of independent bookstores in Gwangju is more than twice as high as the national average. Against this backdrop, this study intended to identify the current conditions of independent bookstores in the city, analyze the problems facing them, and find solutions. Independent bookstores in Gwangju currently make various efforts such as book curation, management of various supplementary programs, and book markets. However, the bookstores have problems including the curation and programs focused on specific areas, focus on limited generations, dependence on publications from the Seoul metropolitan area. To address these problems, this study proposed solutions such as diversifying publications through planning and developing of local contents, strengthening the taste-based salon nature, organizing networks of independent bookstores, and systematically incubating independent bookstores. At the system level, this study also suggested a need for local bookstore certification system, a complete execution of a fixed book price system, and a fair provision rate.

도서관에서 수서업무를 위한 도구로 가상서점이 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 그동안 수서업무에서 인터넷을 사용한다 함은 단순히 온라인 상에서 DB화된 자료에 액세스 하여 자료의 유무를 파악하거나 서지사항을 조사하여 필요한 자료를 일정한 양식에 따라 주문하는 정도에 그쳤다. 이 논문은 그 범위를 확대하여 인터넷 웹의 새로운 환경에서 운영되는 전자상거래를 통해 도서관 장서개발의 새로운 도구로 활용되고 있는 가상서점을 이용하여 수서업무를 좀더 효과적으로 수행하기 위한 방법을 연구하였다.

인터넷은 단순한 하나의 테크놀로지가 아닌 생활의 전 분야에 걸쳐 새로운 패러다임을 창출하고 있다. 전 세계로 연결된 인터넷은 정보 전달의 통신수단으로 대체되고 있으며, 최근 푸시기술을 응용한 새로운 형식의 소프트웨어가 솔루션으로 각광받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이론적인 배경으로 푸시기술의 전반적인 개념 및 응용을 살펴보았고, 실제적으로 어떻게 응용되고 있는지, 특히 가상서점에서의 응용 사례를 들어보면서 앞으로 이 기술이 어떻게 발전해 가야 할지 도서관에서의 활용 방안을 모색해 보았다.

In 2013, the Japanese bookstore company CCC entrusted the management and operation of the library as the designated administrator of Takeo City Library. The library has a commercial facility in the hall and uses its own classification system. It was reported the number of visiting users was increased as 3.7 times in the first year of the reopening and it has attracted the attention of the public. The purpose of this study is to investigate the background, current status and operational characteristics of the Takeo City Library by conducting the literature review, content analysis of newspaper articles and interview survey on the library. As a result of the research, newspaper articles positively assessed the fact that the library provided a 'multicultural space' to small city residents, increased visitors, and local economic effects, but pointed out that the operating deficit continued, and the problem occurred in the selection of collections.

As volumes of electronic commerce increase rapidly, customers are faced with information overload, and it becomes difficult for them to find necessary information and select what they need. In this situation, recommender systems can help the customers search and select the products and services they need more conveniently. These days, the recommender systems play important roles in customer relationship management. In this research, we develop a recommender system that recommends the books to the customers of Internet bookstore. In previous researches on recommender systems, collaborative filtering technique has been often employed. For the collaborative filtering technique to be used, the rating scores on books given by previous purchasers have to be collected. However, the collection of rating scores is not an easy task in reality. Therefore, in this research, we employed case-based reasoning technique that can work only with the book purchase history of customers. The accuracy of recommendation of the resulting book recommender system was about 40% on the level 3 classification code.
