오늘날 디지털 컨텐츠 시장의 급성장, 그리고 전자책이 갖는 장점들로 인하여 전세계적으로 전자책에 많은 관심을 집중시키고 있으며, 이에 전세계적으로 각국에서는 전자책 문서의 표준화를 위한 컨소시엄이 활동 중에 있다. 또한 전자책을 보기 위한 도구인 E-Book Viewer에 대한 여러 연구 및 서비스가 제공되고 있다. 이 중에서 주석 기능은 정보 공유 및 검색과 같은 다양한 활용을 위하여 반드시 필요한 기능이라 하겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 주석을 지원하는 PDA용 E-Book Viewer의 설계를 위하여 Windows 환경에서 QT Labrary를 이용하였으며, 폰트의 크기와 스킨의 색상, 주석의 표현 여부 등을 설정할 수 있고, 특정 단어를 검색하는 기능을 지원한다.

21세기 정보화 사회가 요구하는 새로운 인재의 모습은 시대의 변화에 맞게 달라지고 있다. 이러한 정보화 사회가 요구하는 인재 양성을 위한 교육 방향의 변화에 맞는 교육은 e-Learning이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 e-Learning 의 근간이 되는 교수법과 이에 따른 web-book 을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 web-book은 웹을 기반으로 하는 학습이라는 점에서 e-Learning 에 포함될 수 있으며, 특히 학습 정보를 전달하고 교수자와 학습자 상호간에 의사소통을 할 수 있다는 점에서는 e-Learning 의 한 형태라 할 수 있겠다.

Electronic Book(eBook) is a publication that stored and processed the contents of a book using digital mechanisms and has advantages such as easiness in saving and searching and the possibility of carrying. To activate Electronic Book which has the advantages mentioned above, studies on related techniques are required and a development of an editor exclusive for eBooks which is appropriate for eBook structure is still not adequate. In this paper, we design and implement Electronic Book editor providing form-based interface for eBook genre-based structure so that it would be easier for users to write. Especially because Electronic Book has genre-based structure due to the characteristic of literature, it is necessary to provide forms for each different genres. Therefore, compared to the problem of having to study XML grammar when writing Electronic Book using the existing XML editor, the proposed system can solve this problem by providing form-based interface. Additionally, with regard to the characteristic of eBook which have structures according to the intention of users, we provided the flexibility of adding dynamic forms to the form provided in default so that it will be more effective in writing Electronic Books. Therefore by providing form-based interface according to the genre and dynamic structure according to the intention of users, Electronic Book can be wrote more easily.

최근 다양한 ICT기술의 발전으로 인간의 사회, 문화, 교육 등의 많은 분야에 변화가 일어나고 있으며, 많은 기술들이 인간 삶의 영역에 적지 않은 영향을 미치고 있다. 그 중에서도 인터넷 웹 표준 기술의 발전은 e-book 시장과 교육용 콘텐츠의 변화가 많을 것으로 예측하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 N-Screen 지원과 반응형 웹 기술 지원을 위한 3차원 상호작용기반의 e-book 콘텐츠 저작도구 플랫폼 설계를 연구하였으며, 6가지 영역의 상호작용 콘텐츠 개발이 웹 표준에 의해 저작될 수 있는 저작도구 모형을 연구 개발 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 e-book의 저작 형태는 웹 표준 기술 HTML5와 ePub3.0 표준을 기반으로 제작할 수 있도록 콘텐츠 플랫폼을 설계 하였으며, 사용자와의 상호작용, 시뮬레이션 등의 기능을 쉽고 빠르게 제작할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스를 연구 적용하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과로 전자책 산업 발전과 교육 분야의 활용 향상을 기대하고 있으며, 지식의 체계를 좀 더 다양하게 제공 할 수 있는 e-book 콘텐츠 연구의 원천이 되기를 기대한다.

This study aims to analyze the current status of e-book management and services in academic libraries and identify related issues in the provision of the services. To do that, it performed case studies with A and B university libraries. E-book usage statistics was collected from each library and interviews were conducted with librarians responsible for e-book management and services. The interviews included questions regarding obstacles to e-book management and services and current issues as well as budget and acquisition, access and catalogues, usage, and marketing for e-books. The results show that in both libraries, the usage of e-books is low compared with that of printed books and the usage of e-books has declined recently. This is because of lack of new books with shortage of budget. Also, the most important issue surrounding e-book services is academic library evaluation, enacted by Academic Library Promotion Act in 2015. This study discussed how the criteria for academic library evaluation influence the way the academic libraries acquire and manage e-books.

The purpose of this study is to explore physical factor of digital text structure for designing e-Book interface and to develop prototype of e-Book interface by applied these factors. To address this goal, explore factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were employed, 237 university students were the participated in this study. According to a result, 29 items for physical feature of digital text structure were developed, 9 factors of digital text structure were also extracted; volume, depth, density, space, layout, format, signal, size, and length. Besides, to identify structure of pre-defined 9 factors, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. As a result of CFA, the factor structure was supported by all of model fit indices.

The purpose of this study is to provide background information for the improvement of e-Book service task in academic libraries through the task analysis of e-Book service librarians. The semi-structured interviews with 9 participants were analyzed using Activity Theory. The study results showed that participants have used various tools and interacted with diverse people to attain the goals of e-Book services. In addition, the division of labor and rules related to e-Book services were observable. However, there exist some problems in task performance, such as lack of budget, inconvenience of use due to unstandardized e-Book production, and disagreements of opinions. Furthermore, based on participants' responses, the ways of improvement of e-Book services in academic libraries were suggested in the aspects of content, system, and policy.

Recently, with the rapid development of information technology the field of e-book market is growing rapidly. The choice of an e-book device to improve user's comprehension is one of very important elements. The effectiveness evaluation between e-books and paper books has been studied previously, but there have not been progressed actively researches on the size of e-book devices based on user's comprehension. Considering these aspects, we in this paper selected e-book devices such as currently available PDA, netbook, and notebook, and then carried out the experiment about which device has the highest user's comprehension depending on the size of e-book devices. Understanding and memory about the content on the display were set as main factors in order to evaluate user's comprehension. We prepared in advance multiple examples of e-books and English words with similar difficulty, and evaluated user's comprehension through answering questions for each example after doing the experiment. 90 undergraduate students who use most widely e-books participated in the experiment, and the result was analyzed using SPSS statistical package. The experiment result showed that user's comprehension was higher in e-book device with middle size rather than the one with big size in display size.

As the eBook market grows fast recently, various eBook viewer solutions such as hardware viewers and software readers came out to the market. We can, however, hardly find mobile eBook interfaces for the reading disabled people who have difficulties in reading for their visual impairment or learning disabilities, or dyslexia. An eBook viewer interfaces for the reading disabled people should be carefully and distinctively designed because the reading disabled people cannot use normal versions of eBook viewer. In this paper, we suggest a eBook viewer interface model to make the reading disabled people read eBooks easily. Depending on the type of the reading disabled people: the full blind, the almost blind, the just learning disabled, our model provides an adaptive interface to make them read eBooks effectively. In addition, unlike the existing simple audio books, we also support annotation systems to make the reading disabled people interact with eBook viewer. To show the effectiveness of our model, we implemented an eBook viewer prototype on an android-based mobile device. We are sure that our model and implementation can make the reading disabled people, who is 10% of all the domestic people, read eBooks effectively.
