The purpose of this study is to explore factores for subject teachers to actively participate in the LBI by establishing a relationship model between the acceptance variable and the variable for LBI and verifying with a structural equation based on the UTAUT model that explains the relationship between the variables that affect the process of accepting and utilizing the new information technology. As a result of the study, first, the performance expectancy and social influence of the subject teachers on LBI influenced the intention of teaching. Second, behavioral intention affected use behavior. Third, there were moderating effects of LBI perceived risk level on the relationship of subject teachers' social influence on LBI to behavioral intention. Based on the results above, performance expectancy, social influence, and perceived risks should be considered for activating LBI of subject teachers.

Since 2008, the Presidential Committee on Library and Information has conducted 'National Library Management Evaluation,' and almost all of the public libraries have participated in the evaluation. In order to find the effect of the Evaluation on the public libraries, this study analyzed four years of the performance scores (2010~2013) during the period of the $1^{st}$ National Library Development Plan 2009~2013, which used the same measurement, were analyzed by the size groups and regions. The results indicated positive effect on the quality of the internal process such as planning and collection building. Yet attainment gab remains between metropolitan and the other regions, and also different relationship exists between input and attainment among the public library size groups. It suggested the policy development considering the library size and the regional difference.

With the advent of Big data era unleashed by tremendous increase of structured and unstructured data, a library needs an effective method to store, manage and preserve various information resources. Also, needs of collaboration of libraries are continuously increased in digital environment. As an effective method to handle the changes and challenges in libraries, interest on cloud computing is growing more and more. This study aims to propose a method to introduce cloud computing in libraries. To achieve the goals, this study performed the literature review to analyze problems of existing library systems. Also, this study proposed considerations, expectations, service scenario, phased strategy to introduce cloud computing in libraries. Based on the results extracted from cases that libraries have introduced cloud computing-based systems, this study proposed introduction strategy and specific applying areas in library works as considered features of cloud computing models. The proposed phased strategy and service scenario may reduce time and effort in the process of introduction of cloud computing and maximize the effect of cloud computing.

Deeper understandings of school library-assisted instruction from teachers are required to develop students' self-directed learning skills which can improve their learning capabilities, problem solving techniques and learning attitudes. The objective of this study was to examine whether there is difference in subject teachers' perception of the necessity and effectiveness of the group type, class model, and collaborative class of class utilizing the school library and to apply and activate class utilizing the school library constructively in the field of education. For this purpose, this study inquired into the concept, necessity, type and process of class utilizing the school library, etc. and conducted a questionnaire survey of 278 subject teachers sampled from 30 high schools in 10 areas of Gyeonggido.

The purpose of this study is to examine international trends in performance evaluation of public libraries. We examined major theoretical models for performance evaluation and its measurement guidelines and tools in the literature. We also conducted case studies to investigate actual practices in major regional public library systems in the United States. In-depth interviews with library staff were conducted in three large U.S. public library systems along with analyses of both internal and public documents. The results of the study inform that the most noticeable trend of performance evaluation was to assess the impact of public library in the lives of citizens and the society. Guidelines and methods to measure intangible impact were developed in both international and national levels. These efforts were also found at the local library levels. While the outcome and impact measures were found to be direct reflections of strategic goals of the library systems, actual impact measures have yet to be refined in actual library practices.

This study analyzes various recent aspects of intellectual freedom restrictions in the domestic libraries, identifies difficulties facing librarians in the field, and suggests countermeasures. Specifically, we conducted literature research, including the definition and declaration of library intellectual freedom in core documents by domestic and international expert groups, the background of selection of 'Nadaum Children's Book', which is at the center of controversy, and analysis of previous research. Next, we investigated the patterns of intellectual freedom restrictions committed in libraries, difficulties encountered in the field, and cases of response at the individual library level among librarians. In addition, we surveyed the level of perception in the field about countermeasures against intellectual freedom restrictions at the level of associations and expert groups and future plans to guarantee intellectual freedom. Finally, based on this, countermeasures against restrictions of intellectual freedom were proposed at the level of the National Library Committee, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, associations and expert groups, and individual libraries.

Despite the growth in public concern about health information, the ratio of users who can search for accurate and reliable health information sources has been found to be quite low. Public libraries, as the best contact point to general users, must provide training programs for improving health literacy so that users will have the ability to search and analyze health information, judge the accuracy and reliability of resources, and make informed health-related decisions. This study developed a health information literacy education program suitable for Korean public library users. The effectiveness of the training was measured after administering the program, and necessary improvements were identified. As a result, this study found the education program had the following effects: improved public library users' familiarity with CHI-related terms, improved users' ability to find CHI-related information resources on the Internet, and significantly improved knowledge about health-related websites and information sources. In addition, users expressed interest in seminars on a variety of health information sources in the public library and asked that CHI-related education be included in the library's regular programming. However, this research represented the first time CHI-related education for public library users was performed in Korea, and therefore many limitations were present in the education instructor, the diversity of subjects, and the methodology. Development of more advanced CHI-related education programs for users is still required.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the cases related with PBL and to suggest the activation plan of LAI based on the derived results. The analysis objects were the PBL cases which have been performed from 2000 to 2018 in Korean schools. The PBL cases were analysed in the aspects of school levels, target grades, subject clusters, teaching patterns, information sources, cooperative teaching status, library cooperative teaching status, and educational effects. The results were like these; 1)The PBL was applied at the elementary schools the most, the next middle schools, and high schools. 2)The teaching pattern was the exclusive teaching the most, and the next pattern was team teaching with other teacher, and the lowest pattern was with librarian teacher. 3)The subject cluster was natural science cluster the most and the next was the human & social science cluster and the art, music and physical education cluster. 4)The PBL performed with school library was low. 5)The main effects of PBL were the improvements of academic achievement, learning satisfaction degree, creative ability, problem-solving ability, and self-directed learning capability. As the results, it's proposed that it's important for librarian teachers to have the aggressive attitude for the activation of LAI as well as the cooperation with PBL subject teachers from the planning step to the evaluation.
