Traditionally. theses and dissertations have been extremely underutilized information sources due to their lack of physical availability. The development of electronic theses and dissertations system will provide the opportunity for theses and dissertations to be recognized as a basic channel for the dissemination of research findings and an essential resource in the discovery process. In digital environment. many universities and libraries throughout the world are now making digitized versions of traditional(print) dissertations available online. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current theses and dissertations management system based on web questionaries and survey of home pages. and to suggest a standardized theses and dissertation management model in Korea.

This study empirically analyzed the recognition and current status of university libraries related to the legal deposit of thesis and dissertation and investigated the ways to activate legal deposit to National Assembly Library. As a result, most universities conduct legal deposit of thesis and dissertation. However, most librarians face difficulties resulted from the duplication of deposits to many institutions. In the case that the deposits are not made, the main reasons are the university library's policies, duplication and inefficiency of the deposit procedures, and the limitation of obtaining copyright agreements. In order to address these limitations and to maximize the social and informational values of thesis and dissertation, this research proposed approaches to legal deposit of thesis and dissertation, including strengthening digital deposit system through the establishment of independent legal deposit law, preparing the effective ways of preservation. constructing an integrated deposit system, and developing professional collection of thesis and dissertation which can consolidate National Assembly Library.

Theses and dissertations are works embodying results of original research on a subject and substantiating a particular point of view by usually graduate students, as a degree requirement. Most theses and dissertations are not controlled by commercial publishing interests, and thus are not obtained in book-form by most libraries. Due to their lack of physical and ready availability and information about the contents, theses and dissertations have been extremely underutilized sources of information without distinction of nations. The goal of this paper is to provide the current informations on the distribution and management systems of theses and dissertations in Foreign and Korea. The findings of this study will provide the basis for developing an standardized management model of theses and dissertations that meets the needs of researchers, students, and librarians in Korea.

The number of foreign qualification holders has been on the rise due to the globalization and the development of transportation. As in other developed nations, Korea faces the growing demand for foreign higher education recognition (FHER) since the number of foreign students and migrant workers has reached about one million recently. Unfortunately, there has been no FHER system in Korea so far. In this context, this study has compared the cases of Australia and New Zealand. The results reveal that these two countries are similar in that both of them have developed their own FHER system in order to attract highly qualified foreign workers and students. However, they are different in terms of the implementation of the FHER system and the development of the FHER database. Besides, the cases of both countries shed light on the key issues related to the FHER. Taken together, they provide significant implications for the Korean government which has to develop its own FHER system in the near future.

해방이후 남북한이 분단된지 이미 46년이 되었다. 그동안 남한에서는 미국의 제도를 많이 도입하여 학사-석사-박사 학위제도가 정착되어 양적으로 엄청난 발전을 이룩하였고 북한에서는 소련의 제도를 모방해서 우리나라식의 종합대학은 존재하지 않고 공과대학도 학과별로 세분화되어서 기계대학, 화학공업대학, 건설대학, 경공업대학, 체신대학, 광산금속대학 등으로 발전되었고 공장대학이 77개나 있다. 김책공업종합대학만이 공과계열학과가 모두 설치되어 있는 대학이고 김일성종합대학에는 공과계열이 자동화학부와 원자력학부 뿐이다. 북한에서는 대학 과정을 졸업하면 학위를 받지 못하며 대학원 3년과정을 마쳐야 학사 학위를 받으며 이 학위는 소련의 Candidate 학위와 같은 것으로서 우리의 석사와 박사의 중간에 해당되는 학위이다. 최근에는 이 학위를 준박사라고 부르고 있다. 이와같이 달라진 남북한의 공학교육제도를 고찰해봄으로써 앞으로 있게될 남북한 교류에 대비하고자 한다.

학술연구 저작물 중 연구 실적을 심층적으로 포함하는 학위자료를 저자 스스로가 개방 공유하는 움직임이 확대되고 있습니다. 국내 대학은 한국교육학술정보원(KERIS)에서 보급한 dCollection 시스템을 통해 전자학위논문(ETDs)의 유통과 보존 및 활용을 하고 있으며, 최근에는 온라인으로 저작권 동의, 이용범위를 설정하는 Creative Commons License(CCL) 적용이 확대되고 있습니다. 이처럼 저자가 공개한 학위논문은 각 대학도서관의 기관 레포지토리, 학술연구정보서비스(RISS) 및 민간포털 등을 통해 누구나 이용할 수 있습니다. CCL 적용에 따른 국내 학위논문의 유통과 이용 측면에서 변화를 살펴보고자 합니다.

Theses and Dissertation(TD) have been considered one of valuable scholarly resources, while there have existed some limitations to collect, organize, and provide them. The purpose of this study is to investigate users' perception on six TD services from five institutions and to propose improvement strategies. Six TD services includes National Library, National Assembly Library, RISS, dCollections, NDSL, and Council of Theses and Dissertation Common Use. Based on the survey results from 151 users, the findings of this study identified that National Assembly Library and RISS were preferred by users. In addition, users preferred keyword, full text, department, abstract, table of contents, as well as title and author over other bibliographic information. More importantly, users needs were placed on whether specific TD services provide full text or not. In case that is not possible to provide full text, users have a preference for full text link information. As a result, in order to improve the TD services, service promotion activities, diverse access points, and full text provision are desirable.

The purpose of this study was to analyze Korean Women's U.S. Ph.D. Degree-seeking Process and career development in the field of science and engineering in the United States. We conducted the analysis on the basis of SED (Survey of Earned Doctorates) data of the National Science Foundation. Since 2001, the number of Korean Ph.D. degree recipients from United States universities has been increasing and about 25% of them were women. Their median age was 33.3 years old, and one third of them were the recipients of research and teaching assistantships while pursuing a Ph.D. degree. At the time of receiving the degree, 51.8% reported having definite commitments for employment or postdoctoral study or research. Over 70% of the degree holders were presumed to stay and work in the United States. The study finally addressed policy implications regarding their recruitment to Korea and a need for a longitudinal survey.
