This study aims to analyze the current status of specialized services in public libraries in the Busan, identify associated issues, and propose improvement strategies. To achieve this, a survey was conducted among the staff of 25 public libraries, excluding two libraries (one of which was temporarily closed) out of the 27 libraries operating under the 2022 Library Development Plan. The survey covered topics such as the current status of specialized services, perceptions of specialization, and strategies for the development of specialized services. The survey results revealed that in 16 libraries, specialized collections accounted for less than 5% of the total collections; 20 libraries had no dedicated librarian, and in 15 libraries, the budget for specialized materials was less than 5% of the total materials acquisition budget. Despite these challenges, the librarians recognized the necessity and legitimacy of specialized services and believed that these services should continue, even in the face of insufficient personnel and budget. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of the role of metropolitan representative libraries, along with related training and the assignment of dedicated librarian, for the development of specialized services.

Individualization serverces to be persuited in most web sites are not one automated by system but collectivization services provided into several groups with information collected in initial register. Also, as most of the web sites provide individualization services according to environmental setting fitted by each individual, it is hard to offer to provide them with analyzing members by system itself. In this paper, as we store behavior characters of members on web surfing into member database and anlyze them automatically, system itself enables to provide individualization services.

In this paper, we propose a general analysis tool that derives guaranteed delay bounds for real-time sessions when those sessions pass through heterogeneous schedulers in general packet networks. This tool characterizes each different scheduler by a homogeneous service curve server. We show that service curve servers can characterize a strictly larger class of schedulers than LR servers. That is, we can characterize not only all LR servers but also RC-EDF and SC scheduler by service curve servers. Even with such advantage over LR servers, service curve servers provide accurate analysis results. We prove mathematically that if we analyze a network that can be analyzed by both LR servers and service curve servers,,both cases yield the same delay bound.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the field librarians' opinions of the library specialization and specialized librarian and understand the librarians' working conditions and environment. Questionnaire were developed based on the previous studies and surveys were conducted with the librarians of public libraries, university libraries, and professional librarians across the nation. A total of 392 librarians have responded to the survey. As for the main result, the users' satisfaction with the specialization service was perceived to be high, and the most difficult matter in performing the specialization service is the lack of knowledge on the subject matter, and the library environment for the specialization service is not enough. The specialization service should be led by the theme specialized librarians, and the qualification criteria for the theme specialized librarians are required, and the qualification systems should be managed by the state.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the developmental direction of public library specialization by investigating the library specialization and the perception and opinions on the theme specialized librarians. A total of 69 directors have responded to the survey, and the main result was that while there are difficulties in terms of manpower and budget in providing the specialization services, they have been fully aware of the need and value of the libraries' specialized services and were willing to maintain and develop the services in the future. In addition, more than half of the respondents said that the provision of specialized services and the placement of theme specialized librarians at the public libraries are essential. The qualification for the theme specialized librarians was said to be higher than a master's degree and 4 to 7 years or longer of relevant work experience and must be managed as a national qualification system. Based on these results, suggestions were made that the discussions of the specialization service comprised of the training system for specialized librarians, the establishment and operation of the theme specialized librarian qualification system, and the cooperation with the theme related organizations for the qualitative improvement of the specialization service, among others.

최근 자동차에서 위치$\cdot$지리정보를 제공하는 CNS(Car Navigation System)분야로 많은 개발이 되고 있으며, 이를 휴대용 단말기에 적용해 개인화하여 서비스를 제공하고 있는 추세이다. 휴대 단말기에 적용해 개인화 서비스를 제공하는 것을 PNS(Personal Navigation System)라 하며, 이 시스템은 이동 중인 사용자가 휴대용 기기에 공간 데이터를 저장하고 사용자의 위치를 기반으로 목적지까지의 경로를 안내하는 서비스 유형으로 사용자가 휴대하는 기기에 의해 정보가 제공되기 때문에 개인화 정보 제공이라는 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 위치기반 PNS 서비스는 단순 위치 정보의 활용만이 아니라 위치 정보를 근간으로 POI(Poin of Interest)가 제공되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 위치에 부가되는 다양한 POI의 정보와 함께 개인의 성향 정보가 적용되어야 한다. 그러나 아직까지 개인의 성향이나 특성에 따른 정보를 포함하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 선 입력한 성향정보와 History 정보로부터 추출되는 사용자 선호 특성 정보를 데이터베이스로 구축하고, 개인 선호 특성 정보를 반영하여 웹 또는 모바일 기기를 통해 POI 서비스를 제공 받을 수 있는 PNS시스템을 제안하였다.

The library circulation service, which refers to the lending of library material outside of the library, is a basic and essential service provided by the library. However, changes in the library circulation service are being made according to a more management-oriented operation and the development of information technology. Consequently, the library faces a paradigm shift 'from library-centered service' to 'user-oriented service' and experiences changes in library circulation service due to the growth of library networks. Also, each library, in order to respond to the changes, tries to specialize the library circulation service by utilizing available library resources. In that context, this study, through the case study of the "Chack DanBi" library circulation service of Eunpyeong Public Library, investigates and analyzes the changing library circulation service according to the above perspectives; seeks the meaning of the service; and aims at enhancing our understanding of the library circulation service.
