The purpose of this study is to find methods for utilizing digital room in public library and its efficient operation by analyzing the status quo of the digital rooms in public libraries, which had been built nation-widely about 5 years ago. It is found that it is urgent to supplement and improve the infrastructure of them. It is also required to build multi-functional digital rooms and an integrated operational system for digital rooms. Implementation of an integrated operational system, first of all, for applicable sections of digital room may be the best alternative. The multi-functional digital rooms can be built, which, in addition to its traditional function, can include a variety of original information resources and function of information creation using application programs, as well as functions such as education, information services, online/offline community creation, and activating information sharing. In the future, the digital rooms in public libraries must play a significant role as online/offline spaces, which are not the places for use and access to internet information resource, but for information/knowledge sharing and collaborative activities. It also must provide a communication channel between librarians and users as well as among users themselves.

This study aims to apply the concept of Internet of things to library and interpret a library as ecological space where human, thing and data are communicating and organically networking through internet. First, we defined various things existing in physical spaces of the real world and internet spaces as elements of Internet of Things. Then we proposed to apply a semantic web platform to integrate different meta-data formats and communication protocols from things. Finally, we provide the model of Internet of Things based on Semantic web to utilize a variety of information from things for library management and user service.
