The purpose of this study is to analyze how library visitors use spaces in the library and to make suggestions for improving library use environments. Library use patterns were analyzed by tracking the users' smartphone WiFi. A library located in Seoul, Korea was selected and detectors were installed in the library. The suggestions from the results analyzing data collected between September, 2016 and December, 2016 were as followed. 27.17% of library visitors used a space in the library. Among them, 28.69% used the lobby to return their checked-out materials. Therefore, the library is recommended to install a device in the area in which users are easy to return their items. Additionally, since the spatial relationship between cultural program room and book shelves was low, those programs might be improved by providing library materials related with them.

공공도서관은 환경과 유기적인 상관관계가 큰 조직으로 기준설정이 필요하고 따라서 효율적인 봉사를 할수있다. 본 연구는 기준이 가지는 특성과 설정과정을 분석하고 질적인 수준을 위한 이용도 조사와 봉사정신에 입각한 시스템기준 설정을 시도한 논문이다. 본 연구의 결론은 설치기준: 일인당 면적기준보다 시스템 단위의 지역기준, 장서기준: 참고서적 우선의 장서구성과 최신성을 위한 정간물 구입, 직원기준: 업무분석을 통해 전문직과 비전문직의 구별과 전문성 향상, 시설기준: 일인당 좌석, 면적기준보다 봉사형태에 따른 다양한 시설, 봉사기준: 이용행태분석을 통해 봉사정신에 입각한 프로그램 설정.

최근 급속한 IT환경의 변화와 기술이 발전함에 따라 도서정보들을 효율적으로 관리함으로써, 다수의 사람들이 공유하기 위한 전자도서관에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만, 현재 대부분 도서관시스템의 소프트웨어 사용 방식은 클라이언트/서버 및 ASP 방식으로 서비스를 제공함으로써 HW/SW 구매비, 설치 및 배포, Customization, Upgrade, 장애 및 문제점 관리, 라이센스비용 등 SW 전반에 걸쳐 관리가 힘들고 고비용의 문제점 발생하고 있다. 여기에 최근 스마트폰 및 태블릿PC의 빠른 확산도 전자도서관 시장에서 중요한 요소로 떠오르고 있다. 도서관 업무는 표준화 및 모듈화 되어 있으므로 쉽고, 간편하며 저비용 IT서비스가 가능한 SaaS기반의 웹 표준을 준수한 전자도서관 통합관리 시스템을 개발하여 시스템 간 효율적이며 유기적인 운영 및 관리, 콘텐츠 중복을 최소화 하고 또한, 다양한 언어처리가 가능한 유니코드 기반, 웹 표준을 준수하여 시스템을 구축함으로써 스마트폰과 태블릿PC 등 휴대용 디바이스를 포함하여 특정 OS에 제한되지 않도록 시스템을 설계하여 구현하였다.

This study was conducted under the premise of providing the model for the construction of the library and the digital library in PUST, the joint construction from South and North Korea. First, we determined the problems in the construction of digital libraries as well as possible issues that may rise from the construction of the digital library in PUST. The results of the research showed that there were imminent problems from the operation of a digital library with the inadequate progress in the Held of copyright. In addition, the difference in the language system and the knowledge foundations of the two countries will produce problems in the homepage access, database construction, and information retrieval. In order to overcome these predictable problems, this research proposes the following: (1) parallel operation of both digital and high-drive libraries; (2) duplexing the homepage through the application of unicode concerning the digital library; (3) development and application of converted letter codes through the establishment of NCHAR data type; and (4) construction of an authority database.

This study aims to suggest the ways to apply Information Commons to local university libraries, which face various changes in users and information environment, for using the libraries' space more effectively and for providing users with more satisfying services. Information Commons, which is a concept having been gradually spreading mainly in the U.S. from the early 1990's, is a service place where users can work out anything related to their studies or various lecture-related jobs because they are provided with various information and electronic resources in that one spot. Researches show that physical and human resources should be prepared before executing Information Commons to minimize the problems and to maximize the effectiveness from applying it. Physical resources are such as PC rooms, multimedia rooms, education rooms, one person or group study rooms, and cafe or lounge. Human resources are the librarians who can do reference services including giving the lectures on using library information resources and who can solve the operating problems related to IT.
