This paper aims to determine the preference and use of electronic information and resources by blind/visually impaired users in the leading National Capital Region (NCR) libraries of India. Survey methodology has been used as the basic research tool for data collection with the help of questionnaires. The 125 in total users surveyed in all the five libraries were selected randomly on the basis of willingness of the users with experience of working in digital environments to participate in the survey. The survey results were tabulated and analyzed with descriptive statistics methods using Excel software and 'Stata version 11'. The findings reveal that ICT have a positive impact in the lives of people with disabilities as it helps them to work independently and increases the level of confidence among them. The Internet is the most preferred medium of access to information among the majority of blind/visually impaired users. The 'Complexity of content available on the net' is found as the major challenge faced during Internet use by blind users of NCR libraries. 'Audio books on CDs/DVDs and DAISY books' are the most preferred electronic resources among the majority of blind/visually impaired users. This study will help the library professionals and organizations/institutions serving people with disabilities to develop effective library services for blind/visually impaired users in the digital environment on the basis of findings on information usage behavior in the study.

This study examines the use of electronic databases (e-databases) by faculty members of the Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU). The study used a descriptive research method. Copies of the questionnaire were used for the data collection. Due to the manageable population, no sampling method was used in this study. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS 21.0) was used for data analysis. The results showed that most faculty members were aware of the availability of databases in the library. Additionally, the findings established that Emerald, as well as Taylor and Francis, were ranked highly in terms of availability and accessibility. The study identified problems such as difficulty in downloading information as well as poor internet connectivity. Based on the results, the study recommended that library management should address all the challenges that users encounter as soon as possible.

본 연구는 공공도서관 문화프로그램의 중장년층 이용자를 대상으로 문화프로그램 특성과 문화프로그램 경험이 문화프로그램 인식과 도서관 인식을 통해 생활만족에 영향을 미치는가를 파악하기 위해 연구모형을 설계하고 검증하였다. 이를 위해 경기지역 5개와 서울지역 9개의 공공도서관의 중장년층 이용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 유효표본 246부를 연구에 사용하였다. 분석 결과, 문화프로그램 특성 및 경험이 문화프로그램 인식에 영향을 미치며, 도서관 인식의 지역 관점은 생활 만족의 개인적 욕구 실현에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 공공도서관의 영향이 일상적인 삶의 영역으로 확산되는 인식 변화를 보여주고 있다. 본 연구는 향후 국가 및 지역 수준에서 공공도서관 관련 정책 및 공공도서관 문화프로그램의 방향성을 제시하였다는 데에 그 의의가 있다.

Reprints of Dongeuibogam were made in 1659 in Daegu and once again in 1754 in Yeongyeong, Daegu. In 1814, it was republished in Wanyeong. These block books were officially released by government authorities while various reprints and copies were utilized by civilians. Also, Dongeuibogam was published several times for use in Japan and China. The National Library of Korea utilizes Dongeuibogam in a total of 401 types including 248 general books, 104 academic papers, 32 non-books and 17 old books. This can be classified by theme into 235 general theories, 23 medicinal prescriptions, 24 preservations and 13 drugs. Although the key to traditional medicine lies in its many years of experience, it is important to absorb the technical aspects of western medicine instead of relying on past experience alone.

본 연구는 도서관주간에 대한 관종별 도서관 직원의 인식을 설문조사를 통해 파악하고 향후 법정 도서관의 날 및 도서관주간 활성화를 위해 도서관계가 검토해야 할 내용을 모색했다. 분석결과, 도서관 직원의 도서관주간 참여경험과 주최기관의 행사지원에 대한 만족도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 2023년부터 시행될 법정 도서관의 날 및 도서관주간에 대한 인지도가 상당히 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 향후 도서관의 날 및 도서관주간 추진 시 중점사항으로는 도서관에 대한 국가적 홍보와 행사를 위한 충분한 예산지원에 대한 의견이 많았다. 도서관 직원의 인식조사를 통해 향후 법정 도서관주간을 효과적으로 추진하기 위해서는 도서관계 인식 개선을 위한 다각적 노력, 다양한 관종 참여 유도를 위한 타 관종과의 연계 협력 및 관종별 협의회 내 추진위원회 구성, 각종 매체를 활용한 적극적 언론 홍보, 예산확보 등이 필요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 도서관장애인서비스 활성화 방안 및 홍보전략 개발의 기초가 될 수 있는 이용자인식조사 연구를 수행하고자 하며, 이를 통해서 이용자에게 가장 적절한 홍보방안을 도출하는데 기여하고자 설문조사 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 국내 장애인이용자의 도서관서비스에 대한 홍보경험은 32.4%로 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 지적장애인의 경우 전원이 홍보경험이 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 도서관 홍보매체 경험으로는 인터넷, 도서관게시판, 현수막, ARS 서비스, 인터넷 방송 순으로 나타났으나, 홍보물에 대한 만족도는 평균 이하(3점 이하)로 나타났다. 반면에 홍보물에 대한 관심도는 매우 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 장애인이용자가 가장 많이 이용하는 도서관홈페이지는 학교도서관, 국립중앙도서관, 공공도서관 순으로 나타났으나, 서비스 이용률은 매우 낮게 나타났고, 경험한 자의 만족도도 매우 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 넷째, 도서관 이용에 있어 장애인이용자가 가장 필요로 하는 것은 장애를 극복할 수 있는 편의시설의 확보 및 제공임을 알 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 장애인을 위해 도서관에 도달하는 것의 편의성, 도서관에 도착해서 이용하는 시설의 편의성, 자료의 이용 용이성 등을 개선할 것을 제안한다.

This study attempted to grasp the current status of field training in the Department of Library and Information Science and the training institutions of the students of the Department of Library and Information Science and to propose a development plan based on this. To this end, a questionnaire survey and survey were conducted on the status of field practice in the Department of Library and Information Science at 4-year and 2-year colleges. As a result of the study, first, it was analyzed that field training has an effect on the employment competitive- ness and employment competency of students, and the field training environment has an effect on career decisions of students in the Department of Library and Information Science. Second, it was found that the library with the most field training was found to be a public library, and it was investigated that in order to allow students to experience various institutions and choose their career path, it was necessary to jointly discover and use field training institutes. Third, the evaluation contents or evaluators of the field training did not show a big difference by school, and it was found that most universities are evaluating the field practice using various scales. Lastly, in order to maintain the level of on-the-job training to some extent, it is necessary to develop a training manual and distribute it to each university.
