According to the library act, the regional central library is not only a public library but also a library representing the metropolitan municipalities in Korea. But the status and role of current representative libraries are so weak that they are nothing more than large public libraries. Focusing on realistic vulnerability, this study analyzed the major weaknesses and limitations of regional central libraries and suggested ways to normalize legal positions and operations in terms of revising and supplementing the library act, restructuring and strengthening the tasks to be performed, and expanding the manpower and operating organization directly connected with core competencies.

Thise study focuses on the direction to the revisions of copyright law in Korea, so that orphan works in libraries can be used more widely on the Internet. In particular, this study analyzes the problems of the provisions 31 and 50 in the copyright law related to the mass digitations of orphan works in libraries. This study also reviews the Directive 2012/28/EU, 3 orphan works bills in USA, and provisions related to the orphan works in The Enterprise and Regulatory Reform(ERR) Act 2013 in UK. Finally this study suggests the 3 directions to support mass digitations of orphan works in libraries. First, digitized orphan works in libraries are to be made a transmission to the public on the Internet; Second, compensation and approval fees are not required or minimized; and third, libraries have to stop the use of the orphan works if copyright owners require. If not, libraries have to negotiate with the copyright owners about the fees necessary.

This study intend to find the application methods of the FRBR model about legislation by analyzing a law life cycle from the enactment to the amendment and abolition of legislation and the type of the change after abolition. The legislation is the work as an aggregate entity consisting legal provisions and each provision is also the work. They are in the Whole-to-Part relation. The legislation has a effect by being published in the official gazette, and the updated text or the translated text is not the official version. Even if the name of the legislation is changed, it is treated as the same entity when it is not abolished and the simple rectifying text expressed in the official gazette is also legally valid. The Libraries Act has been replaced by the Libraries Act(old version), the Libraries Promotion Act, the Libraries and Reading Promotion Act and the Libraries Act(new version) in the order named, and it can be bounded into a superwork. For these examples, we provided the application method of FRBR model and suggested the actual application cases regarding Work, Expression, Manifestation and Item which are in Group 1 of FRBR model for the Libraries Act.

This study examines the critical features of 'Library Law' introducing the public library registration system. Accordingly, we conducted a document analysis to explore the legal meaning of registration in the 'Library Law'. We also surveyed participants in the gathering of 34 regional registration authorities to gauge their perception of the registration system. The analysis revealed that the registration with 'Library Law' is a permission system in terms of procedure and method but has the effect of notarization. The estimated national registration rate is 26 percent. The perception survey of the registration authorities' officials exposed the registration-related problems such as inconsistency described in supplementary note, excessive workload, difficulties in staffing, and ambiguity in registration criteria and target. To remedy these problems, we proposed an alternative method for the government to increase the effectiveness of 'Library Law'.

2007년도에는 그 어느 해보다 많은 변화가 예상된다. 각 단체의 새해구상에서도 대부분 언급되고 있듯이, 도서관법 개정으로 대통령 소속 도서관정보위원회 및 문화부 내 도서관 정책기획단 설립, 광역단체의 지역대표도서관 지정과 지방도서관정보서비스위원회 구성 등 정책시스템의 전면개편 등이 이루어질 것이며, 이로인해 정부와 도서관인들의 노력과 열정이 더 한층 요구된다. 디즈니 전 CEO인 마이클 아이스너는 구성원이 갖고 있는 열정과 창의력에 대한 믿음을 "나는 누구든지 자신의 내면에 깊이 숨겨진 새로운 창조의 원천을 찾을 수 있다고 확신한다. 깊이를 짐작할 수 없는 열정의 원천을 건드릴 때, 그 힘은 기업의 성과에 엄청난 영향을 미칠 것이다." 라고 표현했다. 열정은 또 다른 기회를 만들어 주는 강력한 에너지다. 더욱 발전된 도서관문화를 창출할 수 있는 이 기회를 잘 활용해 2007년에는 내실있고 풍성한 결신을 얻을 수 있기를 바란다.

Since 1988, the librarian standards prescribed in the "Enforcement Decree of the Library Act" have not been revised at all and they have many weaknesses and limitations. This study proposed revision of librarian standard and legislation based on legal and application issues. It is desirable to revise the structure of 1988 prospectively and to establish new standards for local representative library. In the case of basic personnel, it is desirable to have three librarians in all public libraries or considering the fact that the library's non-professional work is about 30-40%, it is also necessary to consider a plan consisting of two librarians (professional + para-professional) and one non-professional. The local representative library should apply the librarian standard of the public library serving a community of 300,000 people and establish a standard to add non-librarian equivalent to one-third of librarians. In the case of additional personnel, it is desirable for public libraries to increase one librarian whenever the service target population exceeds 10,000, and the local representative library to increase one librarian whenever the service target population exceeds 100,000. And each library needs to add a other full-time staff equivalent to one-third of the librarian.
