This study investigated the current state of online subject guides in Korean academic libraries and suggests improvement. Through the examination of 100 academic libraries' Web sites, only 14 online subject guides were identified, showing that the development of online subjects guides in Korea is still in infancy. The examined online subject guides were evaluated as high quality in terms of accessibility, integration of information resources, and format consistency, but low quality in the provision of specialized subjects, user instruction, and information retrieval systems. An online subject guide should be a one-stop service that provides fast access to information resources along with subject-specialized user instruction and effective communication with librarians.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the currently operating subject guides in academic libraries and to suggest measures for improvements of them. To do this, 22 out of 151 academic libraries which have more than 1,000 enrolled college students in the university and two institutes of science and technology were selected and the libraries were analyzed according to 12 criteria. The main results of the data analysis were as follows: First, the subject guides did not clearly indicate which service tool to use. Second, there was a difference in the subject guide format in the same academic library. Third, libraries tried to provide a lot of information sources on the subject guides without considering users' needs. By offering many kinds of information sources, students had to choose the information sources they needed. Improvement plans are: First, it is necessary to develop the subject guide of the college courses. Second, Content-based subject guides are necessary through standardized format. Third, it is necessary to unify the name of menu of information resource. Fourth, the number of information sources included in the subject guides should be minimized. Fifth, it is necessary to establish a cooperation system between academic libraries to develop the subject guides.

최근 인터넷 공간에서 사용자가 직접 만들어 내는 컨텐츠, 즉 UCC (user created contents, 이하 UCC)에 대한 관심이 그 어느 때보다 증가하고 있다. UCC란 기존의 온라인 컨텐츠 제공업자와 달리 일반 사용자에 의해 만들어져 게시판과 같은 도구를 사용하여 온라인 상에 존재하였다. 그런데 UCC 가 최근 들어 더욱 관심을 받고 있는 이유에는 사용자들이 직접 컨텐츠를 만들어 개제하는 것이 용이하도록 변화된 환경의 조성 및 컨텐츠 제작을 쉽게 할 수 있는 저작도구가 지속적으로 만들어지고 확산되었기 때문이다. 결과적으로 사용자 측면에서는 다른 사람들과 소통하는 통로가 확대되었고, 사업자 측면에서는 보다 컨텐츠를 풍부하게 확보할 수 있는 환경이 열린 것이다. 본 연구는 구비문학의 이론을 통하여 UCC의 활성화에 영향을 미치는 요소를 탐색적으로 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 구비 문학은 텍스트를 향유하는 사람들 사이에서 공유되는 이야기로서 그 생산 환경의 매커니즘과 텍스트의 발전 양상이 UCC와 매우 유사하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자료의 분석과 이론적 모형의 수립 과정 전반에 있어 구비 문학의 이론과 접근 방법을 사용하였다. UCC가 매우 활발하게 생산되는 주제를 선정하여, 그 주제에 해당하는 커뮤니티의 특성, 사용자들 간의 관계, 사용자 정책 등 차이가 있는 세 온라인 커뮤니티를 선정하였다. 선정된 온라인 커뮤니티의 게시판의 포스트와 댓글을 프로그램을 통하여 수집하고 분석하였으며, 그 분석된 데이터를 바탕으로 사용자를 선정하여 심층 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 심층 인터뷰 데이터는 근거이론은 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 UCC 확산이라는 새로운 인터넷 패러다임 속에서 이를 구비 문학의 이론으로 분석했다는 점에서 학문적 의의가 있다. 또한 성격이 다른 세 개의 사이트에서의 UCC를 비교함으로써 UCC를 기반으로 한 사이트 설계의 가이드 라인이 될 수 있는 실용적 의의를 가진다.

This study is a qualitative study in which a focus group interview is applied to explore nursing students' perception of blended learning. 21 students in the 4th grade of nursing department were divided into 4 groups to collect data through interviews and content analysis was conducted. As a result of the study, it was categorized into four topics: 'Application and operation that are not thoroughly prepared', 'Loss of direction and departure from learning', 'One-way listening', and 'Convenience'. Students were satisfied with blended learning which is free from time and space constraints and repetitive, but felt inadequacy and unsatisfactoriness about quality of online contents, system, and preparation for applying blended learning. In order to apply blended learning in the future nursing classes, high-quality online content should be developed based on the effective design of online and offline classes considering the curriculum, and a systematic, administrative, financial, and institutional foundation to support online course should be prepared. In addition, a support system should be created to guide students' self-directed learning activities in online classes of blended learning.

The National Assembly record is considered one of the most valuable public records because it has great value as a historical evidence of democracy. Therefore, it is not only used as a reference or evidence for work, but also used for academic purposes. Academic information users can improve their intellectual skills in our society, lead to indirect innovation, and provide customized services to them, which can increase the continuous viewing and utilization rate of records management institutions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to propose a plan to activate the academic information service of the National Assembly Records Preservation Center, which is in charge of the National Assembly records. To this end, interviews were conducted with practitioners in charge of literature research, case studies, and services at the National Assembly Archives and users of academic information. It proposed improving awareness of the National Assembly Archives, strengthening online services, and customized user services.

This article explores some of the ethical issues associated with the fourth industrial revolution and suggests new directions for bioethics education in Korean universities. Some countries have recently developed guidelines and regulations based on the legal and ethical considerations of the benefits and social risks of new technologies associated with the fourth industrial revolution. Foreign universities have also created courses (both classroom and online) that deal with these issues and help to ensure that these new technologies are developed in an ethically appropriate fashion. In South Korea too there have been attempts to enhance bioethics education to meet the changing demands of society. However, bioethics education in Korea remains focused on traditional bioethical topics and largely neglects the ethical issues related to emerging technologies. Furthermore, Korean universities offer no online courses in bioethics and the classroom courses that do exist are generally treated as electives. In order to improve bioethics education in Korean universities, we suggest that (a) new course should be developed for interprofessional education; (b) courses in bioethics should be treated as required subjects gradually; (c) online courses should be prepared, and (d) universities should continually revise course contents in response to the development of new technologies.

This study aims to identify research topics and examine the trend of Covid19-related papers on DBpia. Applying latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), we have extracted seven research topics, each of which concerns "International Dynamics", "Technology & Security", "Psychological Impact", "Biomedical-Related", "Economic Impact", "Online Education", and "Religion-Related". In addition, we used the multinomial logistic model to examine the trend of research topics. We found that the papers mainly cover topics related to "International Dynamics" and "Biomedical-Related" before June 2020, but the topics have become diverse since then. In particular, topics regarding "Economic Impact", "Online Education" and "Psychological Impact" has drawn increased attention of researchers. The findings would provide a guideline for collaboration in Covid19-related research, and could serve as a reference work for active research.

The fast development of the information technology makes Korea one of the most advanced countries in information communication in the world in a short period of time. However, the gap between the aged and the young has been seriously increased. Those who are less than 10% of the older adults are using the internet at present. It means the elderly has many difficulties in using the internet because of their physical and cognitive differences. The purpose of this study is that the aged can easily achieve and use information by developing a guidelines for the Korean typography in the web interface. A literature search was conducted on the web interface design guidelines for older adults. These guidelines were classified by interface component and the study subjects needed for the Korean internet environment were selected. The subjects are a more comfortably readable typeface according to the sizes, a proper text size of Gulim and Batang, a more comfortably readable leading size, the appropriate letter spacing, the proper line length of body, the suitable size proportion between a title and a body, and a more comfortably readable text alignment. Survey questions were made and these Questions were improved after the pretest. Both online and offline survey programs were written and the aged and the young were tested with these programs. The result of this survey shows that there are satisfaction differences between the aged and the young in the readability and legibility of the web contents. Therefore these universal guidelines to be used in the Korean typographical environment for the future aged population were specified. It is expected that this study will be used as basic data for the universal web interface where the older adults can easily use and acquire information.
