This study proposes a medium-specific reading instruction method for digital natives exposed to various reading media with the development of information and communication technology. For this purpose, an elementary school located in H-si, Gyeonggi-do was selected and the readability and literacy tests according to the media were conducted for 6th graders. In the experiment, the same article contents were divided into three groups, and the time required to read and read using different media was measured, and the literacy according to the media was confirmed through quizzes. As a result of the measurement, the average reading time of the web-page was 3 minutes 28 seconds, the quiz correct answer rate (average) 3.99 questions, the average reading time of the pdf file in the form of an e-book was 5 minutes 23 seconds, the correct answer rate (average) 4.35 questions, the average reading time of the printed text was 7 minutes 14 seconds, and the correct answer rate (average) 6.26 questions. The number of students who participated in the experiment is 144, and there is a limit to generalizing the reading method according to the media type only with the results of the researcher's experiment.

The purpose of this study is to examine how the content components of information literacy textbooks develop and is to find implications for improving of textbook publication. Three kinds of information literacy textbooks were published sequentially over time. The content components of 『Information and media』(1996) and 『Library and information skills』(2011) are processed by filament structure and 『Information and library』(2002) has a topic-driven project activity. Generally, a small lesson unit of the textbook consisted of three components (learning goals, learning contents, learning activities) and each component in the unit have to make semantic close relationships. However, in some information literacy textbooks, there are cases that the semantic relationship between goals, contents, and activities are cut off. This disconnection cases can be a fatal drawback for the reliability of textbooks, so sufficient attention is needed to develop information literacy textbooks later.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of digital co-teaching between teachers online on improving students' reading literacy. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, a pre-test was conducted on first-year high school students, and a post-test was conducted after conducting the co-teaching over two sessions. For statistical analysis, the data of 101 students with no missing values in pre- and post-tests were used. Through the OECD's PISA reading literacy evaluation framework and factor analysis, a reading literacy test tool consisting of expression, comprehension, and information literacy was developed and the degree of change in reading literacy was measured through a self-report with the tool. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the digital co-teaching had a statistically significant positive effect on the expression, comprehension and information literacy of high school students. This study is meaningful in that it shows that digital co-teaching can be applied as a way to improve reading literacy in PISA organized by the OECD.

The study aims to establish the concept of customerized research information services in academic libraries and to build librarians' consensus on the need for customerized research information services. The literature review enabled summarizations of the definition of research information service, customerization, and research trends. A categorization process resulted in a list of research information services of academic libraries. The Delphi method survey revealed the necessity of providing research information services and applying customerization to research information services based on the opinions of librarians. The librarians agreed on eight research information services using customerization services. This study has significance because it proposed new attempts to improve and develop research information services and explored ways to enhance the expertise and value of academic libraries by forming a consensus among librarians.

The purpose of this study is to indicate a case that applied forming a instructional community-establishing instructional strategies-developing learning and assessment toolkits as a connective strategy between information literacy and curricula to foster the Library-Assisted instruction(LAI). In this case a new instructional community consisted of a teacher librarian, a korean language teacher, a korean history teacher and a korean geography teacher of the 10th grade. The community developed integrated learning topics connected with subject-specific classes and designed LAI's instructional strategy. Finally learning and assessment toolkits containing information problem solving and resources using model were designed by this community. This method can provide students with enough time in using resources and teach information literacy systematically. Also it will help teacher librarians improve leadership and partnership in the school community.
