Reading education in elementary school is being performed without connection between the curriculums and is searching for a diversified method of reading education. There are other problems in reading education such as absence of several reading education programs lack of experts with field experiences and difficulties in practicing a continuous reading education due to the emotional and disconnection between school and home. We designed a web-based reading education support system as a supplement for the reading education in which an electronic library and information about each reading-related activity can be shared. This reading education support system based on internet can connect reading education to the students everyday life. The electronic library can activate reading education by providing book management, a bulletin about the impression of a book and the information on recommended books. In addition, this electronic library can develop various reading education programs and can strengthen the relationship between school and home. This system also can make knowledge and information related activities after reading books be commonly available to all schools through the realization module, according to school and class. Therefore, various material related to reading education can be shared and statistical works are possible with the system we developed in this study.

This study was conducted to analyze research behaviors of bibliotherapy studies in order to improve the level of bibliotherapy study in the LIS. 130 articles of journals were divided into five major fields, and analyzed using major areas, research subjects, research methods, affiliation of authors, and participants. The results showed that bibliotherapy studies in LIS have been conducted rather broadly by the practitioners ever since the 2010s. However, diversification of research topics, research methods, and theoretical foundations are found to be problems that need to be solved. Based on the statistics, suggestions are made: to expand the target of bibliotherapy to various ages, classes, experience groups, and situation groups; to combine reading books with further activities such as discussion, role-play, and play therapy; to take advantage of a variety of diagnostic test tools and to utilize clinical treatments; to conduct qualitative and quantitative research simultaneously in order to achieve the benefits.

시각장애인이 책을 읽을 수 있는 방법은 점자책 또는 오디오북이 있다. 그러나 점자책과 오디오북은 그 개수가 한정적이다. 또한, 점자책과 오디오북을 제작하는 데에는 상당한 시간이 소요된다. 이로 인해 시각장애인의 기본적인 독서권이 침해 받고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 영상처리, OCR, TTS 기법을 적용해 시각장애인용 독서 스탠드를 개발하였다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 문자 인식률 향상을 위해 왜곡된 이미지를 보정한 후 단편 블록화 과정을 추가로 적용하여 문자 인식률을 93%까지 증가시켜 실용성을 높였다. 개발된 시스템은 도서관 및 서점 등에 설치되어 시각장애인의 독서권을 확보하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
