Since with the information explosion more and more bibliographic materials are continually being produced, the need for improvement of the design of bibliographic materials is urgent for quicker and easier use. One questionaire survey concerned with user preference on 7 Korean bibliographic materials was carried out and got the result that two of those 7 systems, Annual Index to Korean Periodicals, Theses for the Doctor's & Master's Degree in Korea are used most frequently and there are also lots of user discontent about currency, coverage, subject heading, layout and typography. The other study was an experimental searching on 4 Korean bibliographic materials to find out whose coding system is most efficient in information searching. According to the result all of those 4 bibliographic materials are very low in retrieval ratio and Annual Index to Korean Periodicals shows the lowest retrieval ratio. The conclusion suggests that deeper and wider investigation should be carried out as one of national projects for the most useful and efficient presentation of bibliographic materials.

Recommended book lists make 'a good book' known and help choose the books. Currently, the recommended book lists published by various institutions are primarily used as the selection tool for choosing children's and young adults' book in many libraries and schools. Considering this reality, I examined the present production condition of the recommended book lists and evaluated whether they were suitable as a selection tool. Afterwards, I suggested the development methods about how the recommended book lists will be developed for them to function as a selection tool.

Recently, some bibliometric researchers tried to use the centrality analysis methods and the centrality measures which are standard tools in social network analysis. However the traditional centrality measures originated from social network analysis could not deal with weighted networks such as co-citation networks. In this study. new centrality measures for analyzing bibliometric networks with link weights are suggested and applied to three real network data, including an author co-citation network, a co-word network, and a website co-link network. The results of centrality analyses in these three cases can be regarded as Promising the usefulness of suggested centrality measures, especially in analyzing the Position and influence of each node in a bibliometric network.

지적 구조 분석을 위해서 계량서지적 자료를 시각적으로 표현하는 다양한 네트워크 형성 방식에 대해서 사례와 함께 각각의 특성을 살펴보았다. 동시인용을 비롯한 계량서지적 자료의 시각적인 표현은 지적구조의 분석에 있어서 매우 효과적인 방법으로 인식되어왔다. 시각화를 위해서는 전통적으로 다차원척도법이나 군집분석, 대응일치분석 등의 다변량통계 분석 기법이 사용되어왔다. 최근 들어 패스파인더 네트워크를 비롯한 새로운 네트워크 형성 기법이 전통적인 기법의 대체 도구로 제시되고 있으나, 사실상 네트워크의 형태로 지적 구조를 분석하는 것은 인용분석 연구의 초기부터라고 할 수 있다. 다양한 네트워크 형성 방식의 특성에 대해서 살펴봄으로써 계량서지적 분석을 활성화하는데 도움이 되리라고 기대한다.

도서관에서 수서업무를 위한 도구로 가상서점이 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 그동안 수서업무에서 인터넷을 사용한다 함은 단순히 온라인 상에서 DB화된 자료에 액세스 하여 자료의 유무를 파악하거나 서지사항을 조사하여 필요한 자료를 일정한 양식에 따라 주문하는 정도에 그쳤다. 이 논문은 그 범위를 확대하여 인터넷 웹의 새로운 환경에서 운영되는 전자상거래를 통해 도서관 장서개발의 새로운 도구로 활용되고 있는 가상서점을 이용하여 수서업무를 좀더 효과적으로 수행하기 위한 방법을 연구하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how individuals assess Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) transliterated bibliographic information on current library catalogs. Two separate studies, a survey and an experiment, were conducted using the WorldCat system. Users noted that Romanization has many issues which can inhibit user‘s ability to understand the transliterated bibliographic information even when it is in the person’s own native language and even when the individual had extensive experience with transliteration systems. The experimental results also supported these findings: participants had better results and satisfaction when looking for information written in English than when searching for transliterated information written in their native language. Implications for future research suggests a need to investigate user preferences for translation vs. transliteration of bibliographic information. This study proposes consideration of using English translation as a parallel link with CJK Romanization for bibliographic information.

This study discussed the problems of internet search engines or metadata and the necessity to catalog the digital information resources including information resources on the networks in libraries. The internet search engines or metadata make digital information resources indexed or organized immediately. But traditional library bibliographic tools like catalog should be described accurately and fully, and standardized in addition to the rapidity. Therefore from the library standpoint, digital information resources should be cataloged fully too. Cataloging cost of the increasing digital information resources can be reduced by cooperating and sharing the works among the libraries.

As affective barriers to library and information use, library anxiety(Mellon, 1986) has been studied in reference/information services and bibliographic instructions. The paper revisits Mellon's theory of library anxiety and Bostick's(1992) Library Anxiety Scale(LAS) in the digital library environment. In particular, this study attempts to address the inadequacy of the continued applications of LAS in the digital library environment, although the scale has been used unquestionably as the instrument measuring library anxiety. This contention was substantiated by three service trends in digital libraries(i.e., digital reference services, remote access, and transition from bibliographic instructions to information literacy) and by re-analyses of published library anxiety research papers in recent years. This study addresses the need for scale development that could measure anxieties of digital library users. It also suggests Information Literacy Anxiety Scale(ILAS) as a direction for the new scale.

The basis of library services is to support users' efficient access to materials, and to this end high-quality search services using bibliographic data (bibliographic MARC) must be premised. However, in Korea, discussions on search services based on library catalogs are still in the early 2010s, so it is necessary to understand the current status and examine user needs. In this context, this study aims to provide a solution for public library searching services to become an efficient search tool based on user needs. For this purpose, first, this study analyzed cataloging services of 49 public libraries in Busan by focusing on 'data search method' and 'method of providing information', second, identified user needs by conducting a survey of 322 users visiting public libraries, and finally, proposed improvement directions based on best practices.
