In this study, we investigate the usefulness of the measures of the 2008 Korean Public Library Operation Assessment as perceived by librarians in practice using a survey. The survey was answered by librarians in large, medium, and small-sized libraries managed by local autonomous bodies and in large-sized libraries that belong to local education authorities. The survey results show that whereas the usefulness of items was higher in planning area and those items that can be easily counted, and usefulness of items in human resources and facilities was lower. There are no significant results in differences by library size and by the characteristics of librarians. Based on the results, we suggest a direction for the improvement of the Korean Public Library Operation Assessment.

The purpose of this study is to make an recommendation for planning of widely representative library building in Jeollabuk-do based on the standards of three library components; facilities. materials and personnel. For research, the methodology of analysis of literature and case study on already established representative libraries was conducted. And the analysis on regional current circumstance to obtain standards of the representative library was conducted. As a results of this study a model of widely representative library building is presented regards on location, facilities and organization.

In this conjoint analysis, the objectives of the research are to derive structural part-worth level estimations by the conjoint factors and individual levels from the university library functional factors. The major findings of this study are; (1) The level of temperature of the library is statistically the most important one for the research samples, and (2) Facility factors and its levels as well as operation factors and its levels are statistically shown as less important variables.

This paper is succeeding research of change of management paradigms and techniques in library From 1980's major industrialized nations adopted new public management theory with ideological source and strategic technique of administrative reform and management renovation. The researcher analyzed the reasons which applies NPM, the state where its concrete technique is applied in public library management reform, and transfiguration process of management forms(outsourcing, contracting out and designated manager system, private finance initiative. etc.)

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Google Scholar (GS) can substitute Web of Science (WoS) for those who don't have access to the subscription-based indexing service and if users feel GS is useful for scholarly information. To achieve the research purpose, the study evaluates both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the two databases. The major results through statistical analysis show that GS indexes much more records and citations for LIS journals than WoS(p < .01), but users' feedback about GS is not better than those about WoS.

Recently, as the amount of academic literature has increased rapidly and complex researches have been actively conducted, researchers have difficulty in analyzing trends in previous research. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to classify information in units of academic papers. However, in Korea, there is no academic database in which such information is provided. In this paper, we propose an automatic classification system that can classify domestic academic literature into multiple classes. To this end, first, academic documents in the technical science field described in Korean were collected and mapped according to class 600 of the DDC by using K-Means clustering technique to construct a learning set capable of multiple classification. As a result of the construction of the training set, 63,915 documents in the Korean technical science field were established except for the values in which metadata does not exist. Using this training set, we implemented and learned the automatic classification engine of academic documents based on deep learning. Experimental results obtained by hand-built experimental set-up showed 78.32% accuracy and 72.45% F1 performance for multiple classification.

The purpose of this study is principle and theory of main class in a Library Classification. According to Sayers, 'The foundation of the library is the book; the foundation of librarianship is classification.' We looked at the between scientific and bibliographic classification, and at the fact that bibliographic scheme is usually an aspect classification. That is to say, the organization of topics is based on areas or activity and the first division of the scheme is into disciplines or subject domains. This first division of classification creates what are called main class. The sequence of main classes is also important. A rough definition of a amin class is that it corresponds to a sin91e notational character. Main classes usually equivalent to traditional disciplines. What constitutes a main class will vary from one classification to another. The order in which the main classes are listed is often discussed at the theoretical level, and some orders are considered to be better than others.

The purpose of this study is to understand the information use experience of total blindness with OTT. To achieve the study purpose, in-depth interview with nine total blindness using a semi-structured checklist was conducted. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. This study has found 5 categories, 13 theme clusters, and 47 themes. The five categories are as follows: 1) the purpose of information use, 2) difficulties of information use, 3) handling of difficulty in information seeking, 4) perception and feeling, 5) improvement requirement The implications of this study are as follows; 1) There are no significant differences between total blindness and the general people of Information request topic in the use of OTT, 2) negative experience was connected with the accessibility with OTT, 3) there is a demand of better conditions with technical sides of OTT, 4) On the whole, they have a positive perception with OTT services.

Various research are being published in the areas of humanities, history, aviation/ports, and regional development, centering on the Incheon area which has issues such as large-scale ports and airports, archipelago, and urban regeneration. This study explored the scope of the subject and the distribution of researchers using a informetric analysis focusing on the studies of Incheon. Specifically, this study extracted authors from about 500 Incheon-related research papers listed in the Korean journal's citation index and analyzed the co-author relationship network to understand the cooperative behavior between authors' institutions. In addition, by extracting keywords from the articles and performing a weighted network (PFNET) analysis on the relationship between keywords, the intellectual structure was analyzed. As a result, it was found that Inha University and Incheon National University showed a high TBC, and Incheon Development Institute showed the high NNC. Meanwhile, the intellectual structure of Incheon-related research was found to be composed of 11 thematic clusters, and the social issues of Incheon, ports, and aviation were analyzed as representative clusters.

This paper examines a level of categorization performance in a real-life collection of abstract articles in the fields of science and technology, and tests the optimal size of documents per category in a training set using a kNN classifier. The corpus is built by choosing categories that hold more than 2,556 documents first, and then 2,556 documents per category are randomly selected. It is further divided into eight subsets of different size of training documents : each set is randomly selected to build training documents ranging from 20 documents (Tr-20) to 2,000 documents (Tr-2000) per category. The categorization performances of the 8 subsets are compared. The average performance of the eight subsets is 30% in $F_1$ measure which is relatively poor compared to the findings of previous studies. The experimental results suggest that among the eight subsets the Tr-100 appears to be the most optimal size for training a km classifier In addition, the correctness of subject categories assigned to the training sets is probed by manually reclassifying the training sets in order to support the above conclusion by establishing a relation between and the correctness and categorization performance.
