Since with the information explosion more and more bibliographic materials are continually being produced, the need for improvement of the design of bibliographic materials is urgent for quicker and easier use. One questionaire survey concerned with user preference on 7 Korean bibliographic materials was carried out and got the result that two of those 7 systems, Annual Index to Korean Periodicals, Theses for the Doctor's & Master's Degree in Korea are used most frequently and there are also lots of user discontent about currency, coverage, subject heading, layout and typography. The other study was an experimental searching on 4 Korean bibliographic materials to find out whose coding system is most efficient in information searching. According to the result all of those 4 bibliographic materials are very low in retrieval ratio and Annual Index to Korean Periodicals shows the lowest retrieval ratio. The conclusion suggests that deeper and wider investigation should be carried out as one of national projects for the most useful and efficient presentation of bibliographic materials.

Rather the ballot paper design could influence voting behavior, there is less study upon the designing ballot paper and the importance of information design. This study examines the possibility of error occurring in the ballot paper design under the rules of Public Official Election Act. To do this, we conducted a heuristic evaluation method to review regulations, and an empirical experiment with closed groups. From this, we found that (1) diverse cases of ballot paper can be produced, and (2) various fonts, sizes, and materials can be used. Accordingly, it is inevitable to deliver regulations on (1) the usage of chromaticity and image, (2) the applying universal designed-typography, and (3) the margin for the spacing between ballot boxes. This study, at the end, suggests institutional measures for securing the validity and legitimacy on the decision-making process to remove latent ambiguity in ballot paper designing.
