The purpose of this study is to revitalize library service by examining how public and medical libraries provide health and medical information services. For this purpose, we conducted a survey of the two library types, and the results are as follows. First, more than 50% of the questions public librarians were termed "immediate answer" questions, while more than 80% of the questions medical librarians receive take up to a few days' time to answer. Public librarians were more likely to comment on the limitations of their expertise and information resources as compared to the medical librarians. Second, public librarians use mainly medical journals and websites for answering users' requests. However, medical librarians used, in almost the same ratio, all types of information resources represented in the survey questions. Third, when asking about health/medical-related training contents for performing their tasks, public and medical librarians are highly interested in all information about all health-related issues. However, while medical librarians showed high interest in all subject areas, public librarians most preferred well-being related education topics such as Information on diet and nutrition, Information about exercise and fitness, and information on quitting smoking.

차세대 웹 기술인 시맨틱 웹(Semantic Web)이 각광을 받음에 따라, 시맨틱 웹과 관련된 다양한 기술들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히, 시맨틱 웹의 핵심 사례인 링크드 데이터(Linked Data)는 웹으로 접근 가능한 형태의 URI로 시맨틱 데이터를 표현하고 서로 연결함으로써, 오픈 데이터로서 상호운용성 극대화 및 데이터의 통합을 용이하게 한다. 이는 바이오인포매틱스 기술 발전과 결합하여 웹에서 바로 이용 가능한 많은 의학 링크드 데이터 생산과 이를 활용한 다양한 의학용어 검색 서비스 개발 결과를 가져왔다. 하지만, 기존 의학용어 검색 서비스들은 각 기관이 보유하고 있는 의학정보를 기반으로 서비스되기 때문에 다양하고 정확한 정보를 얻기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력을 투자해야 한다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 척추 분야 의학 관련 링크드 데이터를 활용해 정확도가 높고 확장이 용이한 척추정보 검색 서비스를 제안한다.

This study, based on the need for department of LIS education program that targets training of subject-special librarian, focuses on proving that such education can improve perception of subject-special librarian and strengthen career decision-making. This study is composed of two parts. First, this study investigates case studies about subject-special librarian cultivation. Second, this study includes a survey about subject-special librarian, improving understanding about subject-special librarian, and improving career decision-making which was carried out targeting students who take 'Medical Terms and MeSH', and 'Health & Medical Information Sources' courses. Results are as follows. First, most of the respondents felt the need for medical librarian and medical information services (88.7%), understood the role of medical librarian (92.5%), got to know more about the types and functions of medical information services (100%), and came to be more aware of the self-esteem a medical librarian feels as a professional. Second, relatively, the percentage of respondents who demonstrated the willingness to work at a medical library (45.3%) or work in the field of medical information services (26.4%) was noticeably low. Third, there were no statistical difference in whether the students took related courses or not, number of courses they took and difference in their school year, and in regard of the level of understanding of medical librarian and medical information services, those who took courses demonstrated higher understanding than did those who did not take those courses. Also, those who took the courses showed stronger willingness to work as a medical librarian. Fourthly, the curriculum carried out by the department of library and information service was effective in understanding medical librarian and medical information services, but makes students more cautious about deciding whether or not to start their career at a medical library. Lastly, it was recommended that there is a need to have the curriculum updated in order to help students overcome the difficulty and unfamiliarity they feel about medical subject.

This study has surveyed the professors and graduate students of school of medicine at K university, to analyze the medical library users' service quality perceptions on electronic journals and their effects on the customer satisfaction. Two groups of faculty members and graduate students has statistically significant different perceptions on the service quality of electronic journals. Among four sub-dimensions of service quality, there are no statistically significant differences in the perceptions between two groups in convenience of use, accessability, and content resources, but there is significant differences in supportiveness between two groups. In the perceptions on the satisfaction and value, faculty group has significantly higher perceptions on both of them. The most influential dimension of the service quality of the electronic journal for the perception on the satisfaction is supportiveness followed by convenience of use and content resources. Moderating effect of value on service quality, its sub-dimensions, and satisfaction is not proved statistically.

This study sought to find out the status of medical libraries in Korea that provide information services related to the Covid-19 situation, and how the librarian's perception of the Covid-19 situation, the main body of the library's information provision, affects the provision of related information services. For this purpose, we checked the website for Covid-19 information service. In order to understand the degree of awareness of Covid-19, Grunig's Situational Theory was applied to classify four types of librarians according to the degree of problem recognition, constraint recognition, and involvement recognition, and to analyze how the three perceptions affect Covid-19 related information services. As a result, only 25 out of 144 korean medical libraries provided information services related to Covid-19. The librarian, the main agent of the library's information provision, found that the problem recognition and involvement recognition in the Covid-19 situation were high, constraint recognition were low, and the level of information service was very active. And only constraint recognition has been shown to have a significant impact on providing Covid-19 related information services. Further research when future sources are available and follow-up research on how librarians' perceptions affect library operations are also proposed.

사회 고령화에 따라 노화와 동반하여 나타나는 퇴행성 질환의 정복을 통한 삶의 질 확보가 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 노인성 척추 질환은 매년 국민의료 부담 및 경제 손실을 큰 폭으로 증가시키고 있으며, 이 질환은 개별 환자에 최적화된 척추의 수술 및 재활 치료를 요구한다. 최근 노령화 사회가 급속히 진행되면서 일반인들은 다양한 기관에서 제공하는 의학정보 서비스를 통해 많은 의학정보를 활용하고 있다. 하지만, 기존 의학정보 서비스들을 통해 다양하고 풍부한 정보를 얻기 위해서는 많은 시간과 노력을 투자해야 하며, 일부 서비스는 일반인들이 이해하기 어려운 정보를 서비스하기도 한다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 한국과학기술정보연구원에서 구축한 e-Spine을 기반으로 사용자 수준별 척추 질환 정보 온톨로지를 구축하고, 이를 기반으로 PC, Tablet PC, Mobile Phone에서 활용 가능한 교육 시스템을 개발했다. 마지막으로 본 논문에서 개발한 척추 질환 교육 시스템은 일반인들에게는 좀 더 쉬운 정보 제공을 목적으로, 전공의들에게는 좀 더 풍부한 정보 제공을 목적으로 활용됨으로써, 차후 노인성 척추 질환 대응 서비스의 하나로 자리매김 할 것으로 기대한다.
