This study intends to make a comprehensive inquiry into the meaning and limitations of Folksonomy, and to explore how to make full use of Folksonomy in library cataloging. To this end, this study examined as follows : (1) how the philosophical meaning of Folksonomy is different from traditional principles of library cataloging, (2) what the viewpoint of LIS scholars toward Folksonomy are, and how North American libraries have customized Folksonomy for their catalogs. In addition, (3) usefulness of Folksonomy in library catalogs is thoroughly discussed. Based on these, (4) the final discussion includes strategies for Korean LIS scholars and library practitioners to consider when applying Folksonomy to Korea library contexts.

As the social environment changes, the public library's services for older persons need to be improved from a new perspective. Therefore, this study analyzed the relationships among user satisfaction of major services, overall service satisfaction, service quality components (i.e., service affection, information control, and library as place), and re-use intention according to demographic characteristics by evaluating the public library's services for older persons with applying LibQUAL+ and surveying the user satisfaction. This study proposed to provide appropriate information and service according to the changes of the elderly user environment, develop the library collection according to the diversified information needs by older users, and allocate personnel who could offer a service to older people.

The Job Shop Scheduling Problem(JSSP) is concerned with schedule of m different machines and n jobs where each job consists of a chain of operations, each of which needs to be processed during an uninterrupted time period of a given length on a given machine. The purpose of this paper is to develop the efficient heuristic method for solving the minimum makespan problem of the large scale job shop scheduling. The proposed heuristic method is based on a Tabu Search(TS) and on a Constraint Satisfaction Technique(CST). In this paper, ILOG libraries is used to embody the job shop model, and a CST is developed for this model to generate the increased solution. Then, TS is employed to overcome the increased search time of CST on the increased problem size md to refine the next-current solution. Also, this paper presents the new way of finding neighbourhood solution using TS. On applying TS, a new way of finding neighbourhood solution is presented. Computational experiments on well known sets of MT and LA problem instances show that, in several cases, our approach yields better results than the other heuristic procedures discussed In literature.

In response to the changing needs of users and library services, there is a need to develop a library information science curriculum that reflects such change and to foster competent librarians. Recent studies abroad have emphasized the need for librarians who can apply design thinking methods which is a problem-solving methodology that expansively explores various alternatives and derives results, in response to recent changes and problems occurring in libraries. In this study, in order to understand how design thinking methods can be taught and to understand the perceptions of the students and librarians involved in the course, a case study is conducted of a class that applied design thinking methods and students and librarians have been interviewed who had experience participating in the class. By reflecting on the needs of students and librarians', this study explored new directions of what forms courses can take for future librarians. Based on the results of the analysis, among the different characteristics of design thinking, the value of cooperation, problem-solving ability, flexibility and iteration of design characteristics was considered as the value of a class for LIS students and librarians where design thinking methods were applied. From the findings, the research suggests future directions of creating more structured courses that involve an element of design thinking.

A DNA barcode based on 648 bp of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene aims to build species-specific libraries for animal groups. However, it is hard to recover full-length (648 bp) barcode gene from environmental fecal samples due to DNA degradation. In this study, we designed a new primer set (K_Bird), which amplifies a 226 bp fragment targeted an inner position of full-length COI barcode based on 102 species of Korean birds to improve amplification success, and we attempted to identify bird species from 39 avian fecal samples collected during 4 months from Jinan, South Korea. Simultaneously, we conducted a dietary analysis using a universal DNA mini-barcode (Uni_Minibar) from same fecal samples. In silico analysis on newly designed mini-barcode represented that genetic distances were 0.5% in species and 9.1% in genera. Intraspecific variations of 149 species out of 174 species (86%) between Korea and North America were within the threshold (5.3% threshold in this study). From environmental fecal samples collected in Jinan, we identified seven avian species, which have high similarity (99-100%) with registered COI sequences in GenBank. Eight kinds of prey species, such as moth, spider, fly, and dragonfly, were identified in dietary analysis. We suppose that our strategy applying mini-barcode for environmental fecal samples, might be a useful and convenient tool for species identification and dietary analysis for birds.

The Recommender systems help users to find and evaluate items of interest. Such systems have become powerful tools in the domains from electronic commerce to digital libraries and knowledge management. Sellers can recommend products to customers with the prediction of future buying behavior on the basis of the consumer's population statistics and past selling behavior. In this paper, we are describing the design and the development of personalization recommender system which increases satisfaction level of customers by searching products to reflect the pattern and propensity of customers properly. The suggested system supplies the real-time analysis service to predict the customers purchase situation by applying the association rule of the data mining.

Accurate simulation of free-surface wave flows around a ship is very important for better hull-form design. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code which is based on the open source libraries, OpenFOAM, was developed to predict the wave patterns around a ship. Additional anti-diffusion source term for minimizing a numerical diffusion, which was caused by convection differencing scheme, was considered in the volume-fraction transport equation. The influence of the anti-diffusion source term was tested by applying it to free-surface wave flow around the Wigley and KCS model ships. In results, the wave patterns and hull wave profiles of the Wigley and KCS model ships for various anti-diffusion coefficients showed quite close patterns. While, the band width of the water volume-fraction values between 0.1 to 0.9 at the Wigley and KCS model hull surfaces was narrowed by considering the anti-diffusion term. From the results, anti-diffusion source term decreased free-surface smearing.

The need for overall assessment of economic effectiveness of library culture program has been suggested, as its importance continues to grow. Our study proposed a new assessment method by applying DM format and IBM format to contingent valuation method that has been used for analyzing the economic value of culture program. This study also illustrates the process through case analysis so that the public library can apply this model. It is meaningful that the study provides basic framework to evaluate the fair value of the public library by minimizing the bias that the contingent valuation method has.

As recent applications are requiring more CPUs for their performance, manycore systems have evolved. Since existing operating systems do not provide performance scalability in manycore systems, Azalea, a multi-kernel based system, has been developed for supporting performance scalability. Unikernel is a new operating system technology starting with the concept of a library OS. Applying unikernel to Azalea enables an improvement in performance. In this paper, we first analyze the current technology trends of unikernel, and then discuss the applications and effects of unikernel to Azalea. Azalea-unikernel was built in a single image consisting of libOS, runtime libraries, and an application, and executed with the desired number of cores and memory size in bare-metal. In particular, it supports source and binary compatibility such that existing linux binaries can be rebuilt and executed in Azalea-unikernel, and already built binaries can be run immediately without modification with a better performance. It not only achieves a performance enhancement, it is also a more secure OS for manycore systems.

The evolution of librarian job is influenced by the change of paradigm in library. in theses days, a "good job" is the job that is sensing the changes and applying them in the field. The research is the comparison between '70s and 80s' and 21st century's tasks as a librarian; the law of library, the standards, the influence of department on library and job analysis. The results; the number of technical services have been reduced while professional information services increased as well as media resources. This is because they are trying to satisfy all kind of users. The librarians are acquiring of digital resources, preserving the resources, preparing on-line access, cooperating with other information centers to adjust the great increase of work in digital library.
