This study comprehensively analyzed domestic and foreign literature related to the value and impact of libraries on education, social behavior and economic conditions, developed a survey to investigate the librarians' perception of the libraries' value and impact, and accordingly investigated the perception of librarians according to the types of libraries in which they worked, public versus university. The results showed that the impact is greatest on education and literacy with a mean score of 3.98, followed by their social impact with 3.67 and their economic impact with 3.46. When subordinate items were analyzed it was found that the librarians perceived that the role that libraries are playing in the education area is expanding and their impact on reading and literacy is becoming greater and greater. Libraries were viewed as essential elements for education and the education system. When the difference in perception related to the impact of libraries was compared by types of libraries, the librarians in public libraries tended to rate their facilities higher than the librarians working in universities on most of the items.

Kings of many generations in Chosun Dynasty considered the Zhu-Zi's Zizhitongjiangangmu as an important history book. When Sarim appeared to the front of main political arena since Chung jung, it had been common for regional administrator to publish and distribute books with the need for text-type resources. Zizhitongjiangangmu published by Jikji-temple in Kimchun area is a valuable resource that contains the purpose of publishing those books and describes the process of publishing and engraving in detail. The Annals of the Chosun Dynasty and Miamilgi also provides detailed descriptions of the process of how to transfer those woodblock-printed books to the Kyosokwan, which had been engraved by several regions and gathered together into Jikji-temple. Therefore, this research analyzed the contents contained in The Annals of the Chosun Dynasty and Miamilgi and connected them to postscript of Zizhitongjiangangmu published by Jikjitemple in order to identify the characteristics of regional publications in the latter part of the 16th century.

In this study, the picture book reviews shown in Korean periodicals were analyzed to provide the developmental foundation for picture book reviews and expand the professional area of librarians as the producers of book review. Through the literature research and the Delphi Technique the desirable standard of book reviews was suggested, the contents in domestic book review mediums were analyzed for the rightness of describing based on the standard of the book review and henceforward the way of development was suggested. The result from analysis of book review showed that the outstanding book reviews should be more produced based on the desirable standard of book review and the evaluative statements should be developed more than the descriptive statements. Depending on the mediums the contents of the book review were different by the book reviewers' occupations, so the book reviewers should develop their professional knowledges in literature and art. Because the longer book review made the outstanding book review with the rightness of the desirable standard of book review, the certain quantity of book review should be needed and the role of librarians as the book reviewers should be further extended.

To structure the KOS registry, it is necessary to select a classification system that suits the characteristics of the collected KOS. This study aimed to classify domestic KOS collected through various classification schems, and based on these results, provide insights for selecting a classification system when structuring the KOS registry. A total of 313 KOS data collected via web searches were categorized using five types of classification systems and a thesaurus, and the results were analyzed. The analysis indicated that for international linkage of the KOS registry, foreign classification systems should be applied, and for optimization with domestic knowledge resources or to cater to domestic researchers, domestic classification systems need to be applied. Additionally, depending on the field-specific characteristics of the KOS, research area KOS should apply classification systems based on academic disciplines, while public sector KOS should consider classification systems based on government functions. Lastly, it is necessary to strengthen the linkage between domestic and international KOS, which also requires the application of multiple classification systems.

The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of step-by-step educational comic book behavior of the elementary school students and their reading levels on their learning competencies. To this end, qualitative research with focus group and deep interviews was conducted with students on different reading levels. During their repetitive reading activities, the students tended to use various educational comics within the same subjects area on their corresponding reading levels. Such behavior led the students to further read other books than comics in the similar subjects areas, and by doing so, the books acted as an important reference to the students' class materials. It was found that the students' such behavior has positive impact on the improvement of their learning competencies. It is hoped that this study will be supportive to develop self-study methods and effective reading guidance plans by improving the usage of educational comics.

This paper introduces a software system and process model for constructing domain-specific relation extraction datasets semi-automatically. The system uses a set of terms such as genes, proteins diseases and so forth as inputs and then by exploiting massive biological interaction database, generates a set of term pairs which are utilized as queries for retrieving sentences containing the pairs from scientific databases. To assess the usefulness of the proposed system, this paper applies it into constructing a genic interaction dataset related to Alzheimer's disease domain, which extracts 3,510 interaction-related sentences by using 140 gene names in the area. In conclusion, the resulting outputs of the case study performed in this paper indicate the fact that the system and process could highly boost the efficiency of the dataset construction in various subfields of biomedical research.

This study uses the bibliometric analysis and author bibliographic coupling analysis (ABCA) to analyse the study of IT outsourcing in Korea and China by 2017 and determine the subject areas of the researcher and the intellectual structure which lays the foundation for future researchers in IT outsourcing area. For this study, through the National Digital Science Library (NDSL) of Korea and China Academic Journal network publishing Database (CAJD) of China, it collected the connected documents and found out authors whose work had been published more than twice. ABCA is utilized to visualize the author map which could find out the researchers and areas in meaningful way. The result show that the study of IT outsourcing in Korea came out earlier and developed further than that of China. The study in Korea has already come to the mature period. By contrast, China remains at somewhere between developing period and bottleneck period. The distribution of papers are still in the dispersed state. The author map shows a hot subject area in Korean researchers IT outsourcing strategy is and in chinese scholars IT outsourcing management.

This study aims to identify and comprehensively view health information-related research trends using a bibliometric analysis. To this end, 1,193 papers from 2002 to 2023 related to "health information" were collected through the Korea Citation Index (KCI) database and analyzed in diverse aspects: research trends by period, academic fields, intellectual structure, and keyword changes. Results indicated that the number of papers related to health information continued to increase and has been decreasing since 2021. The main academic fields of health information-related research included "biomedical engineering," "preventive medicine/occupational environmental medicine," "law," "nursing," "library and information science," and "interdisciplinary research." Moreover, a co-word analysis was performed to understand the intellectual structure of research related to health information. As a result of applying the parallel nearest neighbor clustering (PNNC) algorithm to identify the structure and cluster of the derived network, four clusters and 17 subgroups belonging to them could be identified, centering on two conglomerates: "medical engineering perspective on health information" and "social science perspective on health information." An inflection point analysis was attempted to track the timing of change in the academic field and keywords, and common changes were observed between 2010 and 2011. Finally, a strategy diagram was derived through the average publication year and word frequency, and high-frequency keywords were presented by dividing them into "promising," "growth," and "mature." Unlike previous studies that mainly focused on content analysis, this study is meaningful in that it viewed the research area related to health information from an integrated perspective using various bibliometric methods.
