The purpose of this research is to analyze and describe the characteristics of reading environment for the teens and their reading behavior in the U.S.A. Some researches and statistics on the reading behavior of young students in the U.S.A., the U.K. and Ireland were examined, and the reading environments for the teens in society and at schools and home were described. The development of school media centers since the 1950s and services for young adults in public libraries in the U.S.A. confirms that government, school, society and home should altogether cooperate in order to help students read more and build better reading environment for the teens.

The school library media specialists offer the users assistance in using information resources and instructional media by assessing, evaluating and selecting the most appropriate materials for the present educational situation in school. The format of the information media and the scope of the media center collection have constantly been changed by information technology. Media specialist has to know the selection criteria to be capable of providing any media format in the technological society, particularly of providing instruction software(courseware), multimedia, hypermedia and digital reference service to maintain the school library media center as one of the user oriented educational information centers. This paper presents the selection criteria for the instruction media by media format as one of the useful guidelines to the media specialist.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the Assessment model for tourist information center in Seoul. As a research method, we analyzed international guideline and interview with tourism experts in order to rate the tourist centers in Seoul. Secondly, we renamed the international rating model to Itaewon information center as a typical landmark in Seoul. The assessment factors for T.I.C is assembled through researching of the centers' status in terms of overall service satisfaction. Via in - depth interview with 9 visitors, as a result, we were able to derive the possibility that new-designed rating model is able to be applied to the Tourist centers in Seoul. It is significant that this study suggests ways to improve domestic tourist center service. It is expected that the follow - up study will help improve the factors to Seoul T.I.C, not only Itaewon, with much more specific rating method.

A knowledge-based society values creative and independent individuals. This study depicts operational approaches to the effective utilization of school libraries as teaching/learning media center in order to support independent learning in relation to the way in which constructivist teaching-learning(CTL) improves learners' self-learning abilities. The result of this study seems to imply that self-learning based on constructivism is possible only when school libraries are managed as teaching/learning media centers and that the more variety there is in learning materials and when more direct interaction exists, there is more creativity and self-learning abilities are achieved in the learning process.

In this paper, we propose a convenient microwave orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode generation and multiplexing method operating in the 18 GHz frequency band, based on a $2{\times}2$ uniform circular array and a $4{\times}4$ Butler matrix. The three OAM modes -1, 0, and +1 were generated and verified using spatial S-parameter measurements; the measured back-to-back mode isolation was greater than 17 dB in the full 17 GHz to 19 GHz range. However, the radiated OAM beam centers were slightly dislocated and varied with both frequency and the mode index, because of the non-ideal characteristics of the Butler matrix. This resulted in mode isolation degradation and transmission distance limitations.

This study found the digital divide of Korean elderly persons on the basis of the 2013-2017 survey data of the perception of media information adopters. The studied media were traditional ones, such as newspaper and TV. The media dependence of those in their 20s to 60s was compared and analyzed. As a result, regarding their dependence on newspaper, elderly persons in their 60s had 20.7% on average, 13.6% higher than the percentage (7.1%) of young persons. Regarding their dependence on TV, those in their 60s had 97.6% and those in their 20s had 63.7%, so that there was a wide gap of 33.9% on average. The smartphone penetration rate of those in their 60s was 61.3%(2015-2017) on average, which tended to rise. The elderly's dependence on traditional media featured Digital Divide which is found in the informatization process. Accordingly, in order to solve their digital divide, it is required to expand education in line with their knowledge level through remote online centers, develop inclusive ICT for convenience, and change philosophical policy paradigm in the dimension of quality of life.

Examinations and analysis were done to understand the digital reference services of the Teaching & Learning Aid Centers under 16 metropolitan city and provincial offices of education. The data used were collected from July 3. 2006 to July 15. 2006 by the direct contacts on their main homepages and recording the question and answer transcripts. It was proven that 13 of the 16 Teaching & Learning Aid Centers have done the reference services. In this study, several characteristics-whether the digital reference service was done or not, interface access level, its title, its communication tool, reference question number, reference question style, answer rate, etc-were analyzed. Tips for the future development were provided on the basis of the inadequacies and other findings revealed through this study.
