In 2020, the Busan metropolitan library took the lead in establishing an integrated library system (ILS) that integrates bibliographic data from 49 public libraries and 103 small public libraries. However, each library still builds bibliographic data individually and repeatedly, and the bibliographic data built by each library is only physically stored in an integrated DB. Therefore the improvement in work efficiency or data quality has not been achieved. This study aimed to analyze the construction processes and quality of bibliographic data in Busan public libraries and to suggest a new implementation strategy for an integrated environment. To this end, (1) the construction process of bibliographic data was investigated, (2) the quality of the constructed bibliographic data was objectively analyzed, and (3) four implementation strategies were suggested based on critical problems. The implementation strategy aims not only to improve the quality of bibliographic data, but also to increase work efficiency and build an infrastructure for data sharing.

This article analyzes the record structure, content designation, and the content of UNIMARC, USMARC, and KORMARC formats for authorities, through the comparative investigation, Structure and content designation are almost same with those of the bibliographic formats, being based on those of ISO 2709. The data fields of USMARC and KORMARC are divided into blocks based on the traditional authority card formats, and those of UNIMARC are divided into functional blocks based on the GARE. Record contents of the formers in the fixed-length fields include more elements on the selectioa status and scope of the heading, and those related to the series. And those of the later include more elements for the international exchange. Based on the analysis of the variable fields, it is recommended that KORMARC should include an additional subfield, say $(\blacktriangledown\;j)$ for the processing of the Hanja(Chinese character) data and add the separate classification fields for series.

This article investigates the general characteristics and developments of the MARC format for holdings data. It also analyzes the record structure, content designation, and the content of it, mainly based on USMARC and KORMARC formats. Structure and content designation of them are almost same with those of the bibliographic and authority formats. The data fields divided into functional blocks based on their functions, but only 0XX, 5XX, 8XX fields are used in the holdings formats. Record contents of the data in the 008 fields include more elements related to the holdings and acquisition information. Variable fields can be grouped into several blocks, including those for numbers and codes; for notes fields, for location , and for holdings data. Holdings data fields include caption and pattern fields, enumeration and chronology fields, textual holdings fields, and item information fields. This article analyzes the content in each data fields in detail.

This study aims to present a revised draft of KORMARC bibliographic format that was first revised in 2014. To this end, data collection and analysis methods are as follows. First, the opinions of cataloging working groups for revision of KORMARC including the National Library of Korea (NLK) and KERIS were collected and analyzed. Second, work guidelines used in libraries or cooperative catalog systems were analyzed. Third, by comparing MARC21 update No.32 (June 2021) with the KORMARC bibliographic format, elements that need to be reflected in the KORMARC revision were derived. Finally, issues that have been raised in previous studies or that require further discussion were examined. Based on these analysis results, an outlines of the extension and deletion of KORMARC fields, subfields, and indicators, and supplementation of application guidelines and examples were derived. The final revision directions were finalized after collecting expert opinions, the working group reviews, and comprehensive opinions from the library community.

This study intends to design the bibliographic framework based on IFLA-FRBR model for television program materials and to evaluate this in terms of effectiveness of retrieval and usability of the system. The FRBR model supplies mote suitable bibliographic framework of audio-visual material which has a sufficient hierarchical relations and relative bibliographical records. The followings are research methods designed by this study; (1) The experimental metadata system named it FbCS based on FRBR was developed by using the entity-related database and composed of multi-layed and hierarchy. FbCS is developed through benchmarking of a case study for iMMix model in Netherlands based on FRBR. (2) To evaluate effectiveness of retrieval and usability of FbCS, this study made a experiment and survey by user groups of professionals.

The goal of this study is to seek for the method of effective DB conversion and related system development for the integrated KORMARC Format on the basis of the case of Sogang University Library. Since the integrated KORMARC bibliographic format was established, libraries have been converting bibliographic DB according to the new format. Loyola Library of Sogang University internally proceeded DB conversion using bibliographic DB convertor, which was developed and customized with a system vendor for Sogang University Library. The internal conversion enabled to correct or supplement bibliographic data errors. Besides, it enhanced stability of conversion and shortened the project time by adopting sampling conversion method. It was effective to reduce the additional work for DB quality maintenance, so this kind of conversion is recommendable to the library that has limited manpower for manual data correction.

This research was conducted to analyze the actual condition of subject heading related to Korean border shown in the subject headings of 7 countries: United States, France, Germany, Spain, Russia, China, and Japan. The results are as follows. To begin with, Korean border-related records in most other national libraries are in extremely poor conditions except for some countries like United States. Amnokgang and Dumangang-related records did not search at all in the France. Yellow Sea, Dumangang, and Baekdusan-related records did not search at all in the Spain. Second, even Dokdo we have effective control, the geographical name 'Korea' is not marked with catalog records except the United States and France. The Germany is displayed with the geographical name of 'Korea' and 'Japan'. Third, the East Sea(Donghae) already is marked with 'Sea of Japan' in most of the national library catalogs, and Yellow Sea(Huanghai) is marked with 'Yellow Sea'. Fourth, Amnokgang and Dumangang is marked with Chinese pronunciation in most in most of the national library. Fifth, Baekdusan is marked with Korean pronunciation in most countries. However the United States showed in 'Baekdu Mountain' and 'Changbai Mountain' discrimination. In the case of the Germany, 'Changbai Mountain' are marked with variant access point of 'Baekdusan'.

The purpose of this study is to examine and propose to improve the features of a simple keyword search box and faceted navigations of KOLIS-NET operated by the National Library of Korea. A record group of '2011-2020 (776)' under 'Publication date' facet, out of 3,702 records retrieved from a search of '김훈', were examined. Major findings are as follows: (1) Five facets including 'Format', 'Publication date', 'Subject', 'Language' and 'Country' are used to limit search results only in the first step, and multiple facets cannot be simultaneously used; (2) With 'Publication date' facet formed in the span of ten years, a separate publication year cannot be identified; (3) 'Subject' facet based on KDC limits the results only in broad subject classes without sub-facets; (4) Under 'Format' facet, a special format such as large print texts cannot be identified; (5) Without 'Author' facet, authors cannot be identified; and (6) 'Publication date missing', 'Language missing', and 'Miscellaneous subject' record groups cannot be clicked and displayed, a navigation to-and-fro between a brief list and bibliographic records is not smooth, etc. Therefore an application of multiple facets in all stages of limiting the search result, a construction of sub-facets for 'Publication date' and 'Subject' facets, an accurate description and coding of 'General Material Designation', etc. are suggested to improve KOLIS-NET's faceted navigation.

인터넷에서의 정보자원의 증가에 따라 정보자원관리 기법의 관심이 높아지고 있는 가운데 기존의 HTML과 SGML의 단점을 보완한 구조화된 포맷인 XML의 응용에 대한 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전통적인 도서관에서 서지레코드로 널리 사용되고 있는 구조화된 포맷인 MARC을 대상으로 현황과 문제점을 살펴보고, MARC을 XML로 변환하는 데 따른 기대효과를 고찰한다. 또한, 우리나라 MARC 포맷인 KORMARC을 XML로 변환하기 위하여 KORMARC에 대한 DTD를 설계한다.
