Government agency information has steadily increased as the role of government has expanded, and information provided by the government is increasingly a significant source for the public's understanding of government policy. Further, this information is an important resource for academic research oriented toward national development. However, in South Korea the distribution system for government information is far from ideal. This paper critiques that system It begins with a short history of Korean government Publishing policy, followed by a more detailed look at recent publishing trends. It then goes on to describe the legal, institutional, and technical aspects of Korean government's distribution of its information, focusing on weaknesses that prevent information from reaching those who desire or need it.

Despite the rapid adoption of electronic journals, the need for print journals still remains. The current level of foreign journals acquisition poses a threat to strengthening the national research capabilities. Furthermore, there is too much overlap among academic libraries for foreign journals. We propose the establishment of government funded foreign research information centers to systematically acquire and distribute foreign print journals. We discuss specific approaches to selecting and operating such centers. Foreign research information centers are expected to enhance the national scholarly information infrastructure as well as the academic libraries' core capabilities.

In most countries, public libraries play a role as a knowledge and information hub for local communities, a complex cultural space, and a third place for meetings and communication. Among the work of public libraries for this purpose, the key point is systematic collection development, and the established collection is essential for all knowledge and information services. In particular, local representative libraries must perform legal duties as a comprehensive knowledge information center for metropolitan governments, and develop, preserve, and service specialized collections that are difficult for other public libraries. Therefore, we analyzed the development cases of specialized collections of public libraries in large cities in foreign countries and local representative libraries in Korea, surveyed the degree of awareness of specialized collections for employees of public libraries and the cultural to geography in Gyeongbuk region. Based on the background information, this study proposed the development plan and establishment strategy of the Gyeongbuk Library specialized collection, which was named "Gyeongbuk Knowledge and Cultural Heritage."

This study aims to compare the statistical indicators of libraries of 57 Korean universities and 116 North American universities using Rinfo and ARL statistics respectively. The authors compared twelve similar statistical indicators and found that North American academic libraries were superior in 'volumes in library', 'electronic books', 'total staff', 'total library materials expenditures', 'total items borrowed', 'total items loaned', 'library presentations to groups', and 'participants in group presentations', compared to Korean academic libraries. Although Korean academic libraries showed higher numbers in 'annual gate count', 'reference transactions', 'initial circulations', and 'full-text article requests', there exist some differences in definitions and scopes of these indicators between Rinfo and ARL, needing cautious interpretation of results. The findings of the study imply the needs of expanding support for academic libraries that play pivotal roles in increasing competitiveness of teaching and research of universities. It was also found that systematic management and improvement for statistical indicators of Rinfo are necessary.

『옥추보경』(玉樞寶經)은 송대의 유명한 도교 경전으로 정식 명칭은 『구천응원뇌성보화천존설옥추보경』(九天應元雷聲普化天尊說玉樞寶經)이다. 송·원시대 이후 『옥추보경』은 중국 각 지역에 광범위하게 전해지면서 많은 영향을 끼쳤으며, 명나라의 세종(世宗)과 신종(神宗)은 『옥추보경』을 새로 간행하여 직접 서문을 쓰고 동시에 매우 숭앙하였다. 『옥추보경』의 집주본이 조선에 전해진 시기는 대략 명대 시기로 보고 있으며, 조선시대에 전해졌던 『옥추보경』 집주본은 융경(隆慶) 4년(1570)에 전라도 무등산(無等山) 안심사(安心寺)에서 최초로 발간되었다. 그러나 당시 안심사 판본은 첫 페이지와 경문 중의 또 다른 페이지가 없는 불완전한 판본이었다. 옹정(擁正) 11년(1733)에 송몽삼(宋夢三), 서두추(徐斗樞) 등의 제안에 따라 영변(寧邊) 묘향산(妙香山) 보현사(普賢寺)에서 『옥추보경』을 새로 간행하게 되었다. 하지만 이 또한 불완전한 판본이었으며, 병진년(1736)에 잃어버린 두 페이지를 우연히 찾게 되면서 완전한 판본을 이루게 되었다. 이후 광서(光緖) 무자년(1888)에 김흡(金潝)이 『옥추보경』을 새로 교정하였고, 계룡산(鷄龍山)에서 이를 다시 간행하였다. 명대의 『도장』에 수록된 『옥추보경』 집주본에는 신장도(神將圖)가 포함되어 있지 않았다. 하지만 조선시대 세 종류의 판본은 모두 신장도(神將圖)가 포함되어 있다. 이 외에도 조선시대 간행본과 비슷한 판본으로 영국의 대영도서관 소장본과 일본 천리대학(天理大學) 도서관의 소장본 및 중국 국가 도서관 고적관의 소장본이 있다. 그런데 안심사 판본은 41명, 보현사 판본은 47명, 계룡산 판본은 48명의 신장도가 포함되어 있으며, 대영도서관은 45명, 중국 국가 도서관은 45명 등으로 차이가 있다. 이러한 판본들에 수록된 신상의 수가 다른 이유는 아직 명확하지 않다. 이에 본문에서 필자는 먼저 계룡산 판본 『옥추보경』에 근거하여 48신장의 내력에 대한 초보적인 고찰을 진행하였다. 언어상의 문제로 『옥추보경』과 관련된 한국의 연구 성과를 반영하지는 못했지만, 『옥추보경』의 48장과 대순진리회의 『전경』에 등장하는 48장이 어떠한 연관이 있는지를 조명하는 데 유의미한 기초 작업이 될 것으로 전망한다. 이를 토대로 나아가 대순진리회의 48신상도와 『옥추보경』의 판본간의 형태적 특징에 주목하여 면밀한 상호 분석을 시도함으로써 대순진리회의 신앙체계와 『옥추보경』의 관련성을 규명하는 데 일조할 수 있기를 기대한다.

Academic libraries have actively responded to social requirements and changes in scholarly communication system. In recent years, social and scholarly requirements for systematic management and sharing of research data have become apparent. Major countries including U.S., UK and Australia have begun national policies requiring management and sharing of research data from publicly funded R&D projects. This case study identified four academic libraries in the US with active research data support services and analyzed them in terms of how they established dedicated unit and the extent of services in the areas of instruction, consulting and system support. The analysis provides context for academic libraries in Korea in formulating their future research data strategies. The core of the recommendation is primarily concerned with developing instructional services and strengthening library's capabilities for research data management and sharing.

With the COVID-19 pandemic being prolonged, the society is being converted into an untact society, thereby affecting the service methodology of domestic and foreign library systems. This study thus surveyed the librarians' awareness of COVID-19 response measures of public libraries, and proposed public libraries' response measures in situations where the novel infectious disease is spreading and prolonging. Specifically, the proposed measures include, first, preparing national-centered library countermeasures to jointly respond to the epidemic disease, second, strengthening various untact and online services of various public libraries through government-level budget support, third, a thorough prevention of epidemics and preemptive response from the viewpoint of employees and users, and fourth, the expansion of library services aimed at resolving the digital cultural divide among classes of people, including information unfairness.
