This thesis investigated disabled students' actual status of applying for university libraries. This thesis investigated how many times the university disabled students utilized the libraries, if facilities, apparatuses, materials, and regular employees were operated properly, and if they were established actually on the target at thirty private university libraries located at Seoul and Gyeonggi regions in operation of specially screening the objective students for special education in 2008. The investigation found that the general operation level of university libraries for disabled students were less than "medium"(average 2.38). As for utilization ratio, the most university students responded that "they didn't utilize libraries so many times(60%)". As for the response ratio of university library facilities and services, the most university students responded, "very insufficient", 99 items(32.27%), and the least university students responded, "very excellent", 28 items(7.0%). On the other hand, as for the analysis of each field, building facilities, in all of the items, were established more than "medium"(average 3.26), but material preparation level(average 1.8 point), employee education for softly supporting disabled students, and library utilization education on the target at disabled students(average 1.87) were less than "insufficient". Especially, the field of service was "insufficient level"(average 2.48), and standard deviation was more than 1.4. Manpower stationing and material delivery services have the biggest standard deviation between universities. So, this investigation found that university libraries reformed access to facilities a lot, but that its level of fundamental policy for library, such as materials, manpower, and the education on utilization, were in insufficient level.

The aim of this study was to identify community-level childcare infrastructure for infants and toddlers and to use the data to categorize community types using K-Means cluster analysis with spatial constraints. Seven indicators of childcare resource supply were used for the purpose of categorization and the results revealed six types of community cluster. Communities in the Type 1 cluster provided sufficient parks, libraries, and kindergartens, but lacked pediatric facilities and private education institutions. This cluster comprised small cities and rural areas in Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Jeollabuk-do. The Type 2 cluster had numerous pediatric facilities and childcare centers, but lacked other childcare infrastructure. This comprised small and medium-sized cities in Gyeonggi-do, some areas in Chungcheongnam-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Gangwon-do bordering Gyeonggi-do. The Type 3 cluster comprised Busan, Daegu, and Gyeongsangnam-do, but had insufficient childcare infrastructure as a whole. Type 4 had the largest number of childcare centers, libraries, and private education institutions and comprised Jeollabuk-do, areas near Gwangju, and Jeju-do. Type 5, consisting of Seoul, Incheon and the southern part of Gyeonggi-do had many pediatric facilities and certified childcare centers, but lacked other childcare infrastructure. Type 6, being the rural areas and islands in Jeollanam-do, had sufficient kindergartens, but other infrastructure was insufficient. These results are expected to provide local government with policy implications in terms of relieving the childcare burden on residents with infants and toddlers.

The major findings of this study is summarized as follows. 1. Modern libraries which began to develop during the opening period of Korea were deeply rooted in the spirit of patriotism. After 1905, which was the year of so-called Korean-Japanese Protocal concluded under the Japanese military pressure, the patriotic enlightenment campaign against foreign penetration developed rapidly throughout the country. Accordingly, the movement for establishing modern library was carried out among advanced reformers. 2. The first modern school library was built in the private school of Wonan established by the residents of Wonsan area. They believed that the best way to strengthen the national power to oppose Japanese penetration was to learn the Western culture and technology. 3. The first modern public library named The Central Library of Korea was originated by Oh Ha Young and his comrade in 1906. Included among these promoters of the library were Yun Chi Ho and Min Sang Ho, two persons who had experienced Western culture during their study abroad. 4. Pakmunkuk, the newspaper office of the government, had its own library in 1883 which was the first modernized special library in Korea. 5. Major factors which hindered the rapid growth modern libraries m the opening period are as follows; (1) Lack of people's demand fer the library.

Information users depend more and more on portal sites for Internet navigation. These circumstances are reflected in academic information market especially. As the path of contacting public knowledge information, many institutions of information creation and services are collaborating with portal sites. At this point in time, it is necessary to consider linking libraries services with portal sites. Especially university libraries which have been recognized as private facilities of each university must to be considered as public facilities of local community. So it is desirable to develop method for linking university library services with portal sites for revitalizing university library services. This paper presents methods linking library OPACs with portal sites, through surveying oversea's cases and situation of domestic portal sites.

The study is to analyze correlation between 12 factors related to the collection development and the collection size by the type of materials of university libraries in Korea. The results of this study are summarized as follows. The result of the correlation analysis: the number of volumes and serials titles showed the positive correlation, except 1∼2 factors by the founder, but there was no correlation between most of factors and the number of nonbok materials. And as the result of Spearman correlation analysis, the rank between correlation coefficients of the national university libraries and those of the private ones showed the coincidence of 61% only in the case of serials. The results of the bring out the significant differences only in total volumes. By the type of materials, between total volumes and added ones, most of factors revealed the higher correlation with total volumes; between added volumes and serial titles, 2∼3 factors brought out the higher correlation with serial titles; between total volumes and serial titles, most of factors showed the higher correlation with total volumes.

This paper intend to analyze, review and point out the actual conditions of "Reserve Book System" of university libraries in Korea, then to present several proposals. I took six national universities and six private universities as researching objects and the materials were collected by questionnaires. 1) There are so many libraries which have no seperate reserve books room, while every colleges, and their departments are putting into forces the reserve book system. This makes many unresonable problems. 2) Many volumes were not adequate to the courses of each depertment and so many problems arose to set up reserve books owing to Lhe lack of library budget. 3) Insincerities of professors and librarians make no good conditions for the reserve book system. 4) For insufficiency of understanding about the reserve book system cf professors and students with university authorities, we must persuade and guide them about this system. 5) We imust evaluate about the problems of the reserve book system. I show the methods which is necessary to solve the problems of this system in the following. 1) As to methods of improving the field of menagement for running about the reserve book system, a) Establishment of the independent reserve books room. b) Gradual expansion of the reserve book system. c) Evaluation of the actual using of reserve books. 2) As to contents to improve the reserve book system, a) Improving the selection method of reserve books. b) Increasing the library budget enable to purchase more reserve books. c) Making more close connections between the curricula ard reserve books. 3) Settlment of coordinating system for carrying out reserve book system, a) We must have mutual understanding and co-operation among university authorities, faculties and libraries. b) We must have co-operation between professors and librariars.ibrariars.
