Regional representative libraries are installing joint preservation archives to solve the problem of lack of preservation space in libraries. This study conducted a survey of public library librarians through a questionnaire survey and an FGI method in order to prepare specific operational policies and implementation plans for the Chungnam Library Joint Preservation Archive, which is a regional representative library. Based on this, an operation policy and implementation plan suitable for the common preservation and use of printed and digital data, which is the goal of the Common Preservation Archive, was proposed. As a result of the study, first, the joint preservation library of the Chungnam Library should first transfer books and serials along with ownership in consideration of the condition and demand of the preservation space of participating libraries. Second, it is necessary to establish an operation management system that can be used by all participating libraries in order to quickly and conveniently operate the joint preservation data center and connect it with a cloud-based integrated data management system. Third, a plan for digitizing and archiving data that was judged to be digitized in the Common Preservation Archive was proposed.

By the law, "Public Records Act", all public agencies should have at least one record manager. However, education support offices and military related agencies currently have a low recruitment rate than other agencies. To overcome the absence of records manager, several education support offices ran the 'CoP(Community of Practice)s of Records Management'. To determine the current state of operation of the CoPs, a preliminary analysis was conducted on all national education support offices by information disclosures. And then the detail survey was performed by dividing the institutions with/without the CoPs, At the results, the CoPs of record managements help to perform practical task and improve individuals'skills. Meanwhile, even if the CoPs temporarily substitutes record management tasks, the record manager specialist must be recruited. In addition, we proposed an activation plan to identify and solve the obstacles in the operation of the CoPs of records management.

This paper aims to seek ways of optimizing the operations of Collaborative Digital Reference Service(CDRS) in Korea. CDRS tries to specialize the reference service through world-wide collaborative service. In this study seven international CDRS services including "QuestionPoint" operated by ALA and one national service, "Ask a Librarian" by the National Library of Korea were surveyed. A focused analysis of CDRS in Korea shows not only a sharp increase in use by the public, but also much application in research and academic activities by university students and workers.

The Result of this study (1)In the case of KDI school of public policy and management, since it makes up a very interesting and diversified racial environment that shapes the multinational global community, there must be careful considerations for foreign students together with wide publicity about Korea on the side of the school headquarters. (2)The library must become familiar with the ways to utilize outside organizations in order to provide user education to the foreign students. (3)In order to make it perfectly sure for them to provide not only the secondary materials such as bibliography, index, and abstract, but also the necessary full-text from the preparatory stage of the students' studies. (4)The library must grasp the students' needs through communication and must promote the efficiency of library operation by introducing an information service strategy measure similar to that of FISP so they can acknowledge and provide necessary information to fulfill the students' academic needs in advance.

This study aimed to propose the approach to identify and solve the problems by analyzing the present occupation index of librarians and the future occupation index of librarians after 10 years through the comparison with other jobs. In accordance with the investigation on the LIS students and librarians, the present wage level and the estimated wage level after 10 years were lower than that for other jobs and the employment demand was also lower. Both the students(58.4%) and the librarians(64.2%) considered that the number of full-time employment and the turnover were lower than other jobs. As a result of the analysis, first, this paper proposed to change part-time workers into full-time workers for improving the low wage issue of librarians. Second, '1 public library per 50,000 citizen' was suggested to increase the employment of librarians. Finally, it is proposed to cancel the project to contract out the operation of public libraries and BTL implementation.

This article aims to improve the cultural program for the resident writers in libraries by identifying the current status of the resident writer support project, examining users' perceptions and preferences, and investigating librarians' perceptions of the program. The research methods included an investigation (survey) of the program operation status, user perception and preference surveys, and interviews with librarians about their perceptions of the program. Data were collected from libraries with the cultural program for resident writers between May and November 2021. Findings showed there were challenges in operating the library cultural program due to the lack of resident writers' quality, frequent changes in the program formats (online or offline), and library closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the program improvement, suggestions were made, including inviting good-quality resident writers and writers from other fields to the program, training resident writers, advertising the programs using online and offline media, training staff, and developing programs considering user ages and preferences and diversity in local communities.

Modular multiplication is one of the most important arithmetic operations in public-key cryptography such as elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and RSA, and the performance of modular multiplier is a key factor influencing the performance of public-key cryptographic hardware. An efficient hardware implementation of word-based Montgomery modular multiplication algorithm is described in this paper. Our modular multiplier was designed to support eleven field sizes for prime field GF(p) and binary field GF(2k) as defined by SEC2 standard for ECC, making it suitable for lightweight hardware implementations of ECC processors. The proposed architecture employs pipeline scheme between the partial product generation and addition operation and the modular reduction operation to reduce the clock cycles required to compute modular multiplication by 50%. The hardware operation of our modular multiplier was demonstrated by FPGA verification. When synthesized with a 65-nm CMOS cell library, it was realized with 33,635 gate equivalents, and the maximum operating clock frequency was estimated at 147 MHz.
