National libraries are responsible for acquiring and conserving copies of all significant publications and digital information published or produced in the country. To accomplish this, the library director should perform these duties based on professionalism in the library and information system. Nevertheless, the former directors of the National Library of Korea did not have professional knowledge nor management careers in the library and information system field. This paper suggests various ways to strengthen and ensure the professionalism of the national library director in terms of an open position system, executive agency system, political appointees, and special incorporation.

Copyright is a legal criterion for determining the scope and method of digital library service. Works with expired protection periods correspond to the public domain and can be freely used by anyone. For this reason, it is a priority consideration in digital library construction and services. The purpose of this study is to examine how actively libraries are using expired protected works for digital library services. To this end, the relevant provisions of the Copyright Act applied to the construction and service of digital libraries were first summarized, and the meaning of the copyright protection period was theoretically examined. The current status of online services for expired works by the National Library of Korea was examined, focusing on the works of three Japanese colonial era writers, Kim Yoo-jung, Lee Hyo-seok, and Chae Man-sik, to check the specific service status of expired works. It reveals that the National Library of Korea is not fully utilizing the scope of the law, and that this situation is linked to the rights of other authors included in the book. Based on these results, it suggests that there is a need to change the service unit to focus on copyrighted works and to use authority records to systematize the management of authors' death years.

디지털도서관은 전통적인 도서관의 역할과 함께 새로운 형태의 전자자원과 웹자원을 열람할 수 있는 시설과 기기를 이용자에게 제공함으로써 IT환경에 익숙한 이용자들에게 검증된 어떤 형태의 정보자원도 제공하는 도서관이다. NDL은 국립중앙도서관의 부서이지만 별도의 공간에서 디지털정보자원만으로 도서관 서비스를 제공하여 명실상부한 디지털도서관의 원형을 구현하였다. 이에 따라 이 연구에서는 NDL의 구성원들의 디지털도서관의 운영고도화를 위한 설문을 바탕으로 디지털도서관 운영모델을 제안하였다. 디지털 도서관의 성공적인 운영을 위한 주요 요인은 조직의 전문성을 비롯하여, 제도적 정보자원의 확보, 정보활용교육에 기반한 홍보방안 수립 등이었다.
