All public libraries are collection-based knowledge and cultural service institutions. To this end, a collection development policy is an essential and a strategic menu that every library should establish first. Regional central libraries should establish and apply optimal collection development policies to conduct the legal duties as knowledge and information centers and cooperative preservation facilities of the cities and provinces. Thus, this study analyzed and compared in detail the collection development guidelines (draft) and regulations of regional central libraries in Korea and the collection development policies of metropolitan public libraries abroad. Results showed that the policies of domestic regional central libraries were simply practical guidelines while those in most developed countries were substantial in format and content. All regional central library systems should establish and document collection development policies based on the importance of collection development, future-oriented thinking, and strategic decision. The study also suggested the basic principles and the format for this purpose.

The curriculum in primary and secondary school is at the heart of the education. In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as the comprehensive plan consisting of educational goal and objectives, instructional content, materials, teaching and learning method. Many countries has national level curricula in primary and secondary education, such as the Korea. Korean national curriculum has been revised 10 times. Currently, '2015 revised curriculum' is applied in korea. On the other hand, the Korean library association developed called a 'Library and information life' curriculum for information literacy instruction in 2007. However, this curriculum is based on the '2007 revised national curriculum', so it differs from the system and contents structure of the '2015 revised national curriculum'. Since the primary and secondary school applying the '2015 revised national curriculum', 'Library and information life' curriculum should be revised. Therefore, this study suggests the direction of revising the 'Library and information life' curriculum after comparing and analyzing '2015 revised curriculum' and 'Library and information life' curriculum.

In this study, we aimed to examine the feasibility of establishing a shared preservation center with a focus on the Chungcheongbuk-do Office of Education. We conducted surveys to assess the current situation and gather perceptions. The research findings revealed the following: Firstly, the surveyed school libraries were already experiencing extreme levels of book saturation, necessitating the management of book saturation and proper book quantity. Secondly, very few libraries had the facilities required for book preservation. Thirdly, the research showed that in 78% of school libraries, book saturation already exceeded 75%, leading to a rapid increase in discarded books each year. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the systematic expansion of a shared preservation center. Moreover, given the difficulty of individual libraries in establishing facilities for preservation, valuable materials such as rare books and specialized resources should be transferred to a shared preservation center. Additionally, policies and regulations related to material preservation are deemed necessary.

In this study, the current status of the public library steering committee, which is operated in accordance with Article 30 Paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Libraries Act, was examined and understood through a survey, and the direction of the promotion and policy for revitalizing the steering committee was sought moving forward. As a result of the analysis performed, the number of operations is once or twice a year, and the decisions of the steering committee meetings are reported to their supervisors, yet the reporting and disclosure of the meeting minutes are not mandatory in terms of regulations, etc., and while the importance was recognized, it turned out that the operation was carried out formally due to the lack of personnel in charge. The primary factors for revitalizing the operation were investigated as the structure of the committee, the responsibilities and authority of the committee, and the assignment of dedicated staff, etc. While there was a high perception that the enactment of a standard ordinance (proposal) was necessary, the concerns about the inhibition of autonomy were also mentioned, and hence, it is necessary to enact a standard ordinance(proposal) that sufficiently guarantees autonomy. To revitalize the steering committee, it is necessary to find various utilization and operational plans by considering holding regular meetings, supplementing systems and regulations that can reflect meeting decisions, establishing subcommittees, and assigning dedicated staff.

This study investigated IRA's 3 standards related to reading instruction and examined the value which can be meaningful to Korean situation. IRA divided reading educators into 7 types and proposed each detailed professional standard through the 'Standards for reading professionals'. The next standard called 'Standards for the English language art' described their direction and content for English language education including reading instruction. The 'Standards for the assessment of reading and writing' aims at the basis to evaluate students' reading ability. The value found through these standards is as follow: IRA's reading professionals standard can be a useful way to define the type of reading educator in Korea. A reading instruction standard like IRA's language art standard can guide reading instruction of Korean libraries in a more systemic and consistent way. A valid evaluation standard to measure students' reading ability can show the possibilities to define the students who struggle with reading and to provide more suitable instruction for them.

This study is to examine the possibility of applying the Article 35-4 of the Copyright Act and the relevant regulations of the enforcement decree of the same law to the construction and service of digital library. The background and necessity of the revision were understood by examining the related regulations and discussions in previous studies, including Articles 31 and 50 of the Copyright Act. Then, the detailed contents of the provision were analyzed by referring to the laws, enforcement decrees, and ordinance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. In addition, through comparison with Articles 31 and 50 of the Copyright Act, the characteristics, significance, limitations, and problems of this provisions were analyzed. Based on this, we proposed four ways to increase the effectiveness of this provision.

Th~ss tud is to recommend a suggestion to adapt and expand the class 200 Religon for Korean libraries using DDC. The grst art of it investigates the development and general problem of the options in 200 and leads to the conclusion t k t it is somewhat undesirable to use the options in the libraries of the nations m y religions are predominant, as in Korea. The second part of it recommends a su gestion. The major characteristic of it is that it not onl follows the basic systems and order of the DDC but a k suggests the plan that emphasizes the Budhsm andother religions of brea, Ouna, and Japan, for Korean libraries. It contracts the Christianity of 22@280 in oripl DDC lnto only one division 220, and rearran es the divisions 230-270 for the BudNusm and other religions oi the world so that various religons can be inc\ulcorneruded in the divisions. And it also su ests an alternative for the libraries that want to ernphaslzc the Buddhism and other religions of East-Asian anp~orean o r i p .

가상문서 개념에 기반을 둔 디지털도서관에서는 기존의 멀티미디어 문서를 활용하여 새로운 view를 생성하고 지식을 창출할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 이 접근 방법의 초점은 링크를 사용하여 기존의 자원을 연결하여 가상문서를 생성하고 필요한때 필요한 부분만 가져다가 통합하여 재현시킬 수 있는 기능과 이렇게 생성된 가상문서를 총체적으로 혹은 부분적으로 검색할 수 있다는 것이다. 반면에 W3C에서는 Topic Maps라는 개념을 표준안으로 하였는데, 이 개념은 근본 취지에 있어 가상문서의 개념과 매우 유사하나 문서를 끌어서 통합하는 기능이나 부분문서를 가져오는 기능 등이 없다. 여기서도 기존 문서에 링크를 걸어 사용자가 원하는 토픽이 연결될 수 있도록 하는 기능을 규정하고 있는데, 지식 표현 및 추론 등 다양한 응용에 관한 연구가 진행되어 오고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 충남대학교에서 개발한 가상문서 기반 디지털도서관 개념에 이 Topic Maps 기능을 연결하여 호환성을 제공하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 호환성은 디지털도서관 분야에서의 핵심 이슈이며, 실용적인 관점에서 가상문서 기반 디지털도서관의 가용성을 향상시켜 궁극적으로 외부 시스템과도 연계될 수 있는 기반을 제공할 것이다.
