이 연구의 목적은 도서관이용과 도서관예산 사이에 영향관계가 있는지를 알아보고, 이를 통해 잠재적 이용자들을 도서관으로 유인하기 위해서는 적정예산의 확보가 필요하다는 것을 설명하는데 있다. 다시 말해, 도서관예산은 도서관이용을 증진시킬 수 있는 중요한 요인임을 설명하기 위해 시도되었다. 이를 위해 부산광역시 공공도서관 31개관을 대상으로 국가도서관통계시스템으로부터 확보된 2013년 통계데이터를 사용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석을 위해 독립변수는 도서관예산을 설명하는 '총비용지수(TFI: Total Funding Indicator) = $\sqrt{인건비{\times}자료구입비}$'와 도서관이용을 나타내는 'LU(Library Usage) = (연간 방문자수) + (연간 대출자료수) / 봉사대상인구'의 개념을 통해 산출된 값을 종속변수로 사용하였다. 연구결과는 도서관총비용지수(TFI)와 도서관이용(LU) 사이에는 영향관계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났으며, 도서관의 예산이 증가할수록 도서관이용은 증가하는 것으로 설명되었다. 본 연구의 결과가 비록 도서관예산과 도서관이용의 긍정적인 관계를 설명하고 있지만, 분석대상 및 분석기간의 제한성 및 한정성으로 인해 정책결정을 위한 도구로서 활용되기 위해서는 대상의 확대 및 분석기간의 다년화를 통한 타당성이 확보되어야 한다.

본 연구는 보편적 권리로서의 지역주민의 정보접근권의 보장을 위해 공공도서관 기반시설의 지역 간 격차 해소가 필요하다는 입장에서 중앙정부의 공공도서관에 대한 효과적인 재정지원 방안을 수립하는 것을 목표로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 우선 국가도서관통계시스템에 2008년 12월 31일을 기준으로 입력된 공공도서관 연면적, 사서 수, 장서수, 예산, 자료구입비 등을 16개 광역지자체 별 인구 1인당 및 1관 당 평균을 비교 분석하여 지역 간 격차 현황을 제시 하였다. 또한 공공도서관의 재원구조와 2010년 광역 지역발전특별회계 도입에 따른 재정지원내용의 변화와 문제점을 조사하여 국가가 편성하는 국고보조금제도로의 전환을 중심으로 공공도서관 재정지원제도의 개선 방안을 제시하였다.

The paper investigates open access (OA) self archiving policies of different Open Access Repositories (OARs) of COAPI (Coalition of Open Access Policy Institutions) founder members as reported in June 2011 (i.e. a total of 22 members against a total of 46 COPAI members as reported by Open Biomed (http://openbiomed.info/2011/08/coapi-cats/). The paper consulted three databases (OpenDOAR, ROAR and ROARMAP) in order to evaluate twenty-two (22) COAPI-members OARs self archiving policy documentations and highlights of some progress on issues so far. After analyzing policy documentations, key findings have been highlighted and common practices have been suggested in line with global recommendations and best practice guidelines at national and international levels for strengthening national research systems. The paper has implications for administrators, funding agencies, policy makers and professional librarians in devising institute specific self archiving policies for their own organization.

The development of rural areas is expected to be holistic covering all essential infrastructure. Community information centres (CICs) are agen- cies that should be part of the infrastructures for rural development. Unfortunately, these centres are hardly seen in rural communities in Nigeria, including Afikpo in Ebonyi State. Thus, this study was conceived to explore the perceptions of citizens towards the establishment of CICs in the locality. It adopted survey research method with questionnaire as instrument for data collection, which was self-developed and validated by experts with a pre-texted reliability index of 0.72. A total of 399 copies of the questionnaire were distributed, out of which 267 copies were properly completed, representing 67% and were used for analysis. Findings revealed that the citizens have overall positive perception to- wards establishing the CICs; they are also knowledgeable of the benefits of such centres. Furthermore, there are workable suggestions on ways of establishing, funding and managing CICs in Afikpo. In addition, about 65% of the respondents indicated interest to assist and support the funding and management of the CICs when established. However, the challenges of inadequate funding and support as well as the possible politics of where to site/locate the CICs in Afikpo, are likely impediments to the project. The study concluded that citizens have strong and positive disposition towards establishing CICs in Afikpo. The implications of such CICs for technological innovations were analysed. The study recom- mends, among others, that government should see the establishment of CICs as priority projects that would significantly contribute to the growth and development of rural communities in Nigeria; communities in Afikpo should explore self-help approach to development; and political representatives from Afikpo should take advantage of establishing CICs as constituency projects for the citizens.

In recent years, Korean public libraries, placed under changing circumstances, require that some new and positive financial policies be formulated for the improvement of their services. T he purpose of this study is to propose a scheme to ensure the revenues of Korean public libraries. The main contents of this study are as follows : (1) Public finance theory is applied to the question of why the public library is publicly supported. The public library does not contribute to stabilization, but it does playa role in each of the other public sector functions : allocation of resources and redistribution of income. In public finance terms there is justification for at least partial subsidy of public library services, which have the attributes of public goods, merit goods and externalities. (2) Public libraries in Korea find themselves suffering from limited budgets. They are neglected in national and local budgets. The lack of adequate funding for library collections prevents libraries from rendering efficient services. (3) In order to put the finances of the Korean public library system on a firm basis, the following proposals are made: 1) It is proposed that the parallel administration under which public libraries are organized be unified to be directly under the local governments. 2) It is proposed that the legislative and administrative system for public library finance be strengthened. (1) Library expenses should be itemized independently in the calculation of general grants-in-aid to local governments. (2) A fixed portion of the total municipal revenue should be appropriated for public library services. It can be executed by making provisions expressly in the annual guidelines for budgeting, municipal ordinances, or in the Library Promotion Law. The rate of allocation should be specified as a part of the national public library development plan. (3) Library tax as a local tax can be imposed. An indirect tax is preferable in order to avoid public misunderstanding and antagonism. 3) The augmentation of the specific grants-in-aid for the public library is proposed. The Library Promotion Law and the Law on Budget and Administration of Grants should be amended to oblige the central government to give financial assistance to local public libraries. 4) It is proposed that strategies to encourage private endowments be worked out. Revision of the Law on Tax Reduction and Exemption and the activation of an advisory library committee at each public library are recommended. 5) Funding and utilization of the envisioned Library Promotion Foundation is proposed. Government contributions, contributions from the Culture and Arts Foundation, and donations from individuals, corporations, and enterprises can be considered as the financial resources of the Foundation. 6) It is proposed that the structure of the Korean Library Association be consolidated to exercise greater influence over the formation of national policy on the public library system. 7) It is proposed as an ultimate guarantee of the health of the public libraries that the citizenry be educated to strongly support library services in responce to the active services provided by the public libraries.

This study examined the awareness and use of cloud computing services by librarians in selected universities in Edo State. A descriptive survey research design was employed and the instrument used was questionnaire. The population of the study was 132 professional and Para-professional librarians. The total enumeration technique was used to select the entire population because the size was manageable. Simple percentage, frequency count, and mean were used to analyze the data collected. From the analysis of data gathered, it was found that the librarians are aware of the use of OCLC, world cat, and Google docs to a very high extent. It was found that the librarians used cloud computing services and technologies for collection development functions and cataloging. Based on the findings it was recommended that management of the libraries should support librarians by providing adequate funding to the library in order to support the acquisition and maintenance of infrastructure for cloud computing.

본 연구는 미국의 학교도서관 프로그램이 학생들의 학업성취에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구 중 콜로라도 연구 I(l993), II (2000), 텍사스 연구 (2001), 미주리 연구 (2003), 일리노이 연구 (2005)를 분석하였다. 다섯 개 연구의 조사방법과 연구내용을 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 다섯 연구는 성적에 영향을 미치는 학교도서관, 학교 그리고 지역 사회 변수를 도출하기 위하여 공통적으로 상관관계분석, 요인분석, 다중회귀분석을 사용하였다. 모든 연구의 일관된 결론은 도서관 발전수준-직원, 장서, 예산-이 높을수록, 사서교사의 전문적 활동이 활발할수록, 그리고 정보기술의 사용이 활성화되어 있을수록 학생들의 성적이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 미국 아동들의 리터러시 향상과 학교도서관 독서 프로그램과 관련하여 NCLB 법에 관해서도 검토하였다.
