In this study, we analyze the agenda setting and policy making process of the establishment of Gyeonggido Cyber Library, which has played an important role for development of public libraries in Gyeonggido since its launching, based on Kingdon's policy streams model. According to the model, policy formation is described as the result from the convergence of the three streams, such as problem, policy and politics streams. When these streams converge on a specific time point, a policy window is created so that the issues become policy agenda. At this moment, policy entrepreneurs propose their alternatives, which have been prepared already, and try to pass it through the window. We identify coupling of the streams in the policy window and the role of policy entrepreneurs in the process of agenda setting and selection of alternatives of Gyeonggido Cyber Library policy. Suggestions are provided based on the analysis for public policy formation in public libraries domain.

The legislative cosponsorship network shows the legislative process of the National Assembly through the relationship between the members of the National Assembly formed by cosponsorship. This study focused on the library bill proposed during the 19th National Assembly term, and conducted the cosponsorship network analysis, the centrality analysis of actors of the National Assembly, and a subgroup analysis of keyword-centric networks. As the result of the study, the library bill's cosponsorship network was segmented according to political parties, and lawmakers who played an intermediary role in close proximity to other political party members had an important influence on the network. When restructured into a keyword-oriented network, the network structure segmented into political parties improved as members of different parties shared the same keywords and formed subgroups. Based on the results, it was suggested that a strategy for spreading and sharing policy issues based on core keywords rather than library legislation, centered on lawmakers who play a mediating role between parties, is needed to activate library legislation.
