Currently, it is not easy for most domestic public libraries to collect and provide reliable health information services on their own. Health information is distributed or professional, making it inconvenient for users to use. Based on the implications derived from the case study, the Library Health Information Integration Service Model was proposed as a specialized information service. The model consists of a composition shared by librarians, health and medical experts, and users, focusing on library websites that provide integrated health information integration services, and has the following features. First, it provides health and medical information on a specialized subject. Second, it provides integrated health and medical information services provided in various ways. Third, librarians and health and medical experts work together to provide information services. Fourth, users can freely use health information integration services online and offline. The model presented in this study means that libraries can play a leading role in health information integration services to increase the utilization rate of public libraries and further contribute to librarians serving as experts in health information services.

Unlike the United States, course reserve and e-Reserve services of university libraries are very poorly operated in Korea. This paper studied cases of e-Reserve service operation of 131 university libraries in the United States to provide basic materials for revitalizing the e-Reserve service of domestic university libraries. To confirm the operation case, 131 university library websites were surveyed, and among them, the e-Reserve service operation methods of 7 university libraries were compared and analyzed, and the functions of 4 e-Reserve supporting software were checked. The research results can be used as reference materials in operating the e-Reserve service in domestic university libraries, and the function of the analyzed support software is considered to be a functional requirement to be considered when introducing the system.
