This study explored the user's information needs and information behavior for the development of academic library services. The content analysis of qualitative data showed that the in-depth interview participants have six types of information needs such as 'suitability, up-to-dateness, uniqueness, reliability, practicality, and convenience' while going through societal, educational, and research-related changes. Interview participants solved their information needs by acquiring the resources necessary for each individual's task through information behaviors using information media, human resources and the places. Each participant tried to solve his/her information problem through individual efforts based on their different media and information utilization capabilities. Based on the analysis, this study presented four directions in the development of academic library services. They are an personalized information literacy service, a space to meet the characteristics of information needs, an infrastructure platform for exchanging human resources, and an accessible support service for utilizing information media.

Microblog services are such new communication channels with some considerable potential to improve information sharing. The idea of sharing short messages using multiple access points seems to be appealing to people worldwide. Through the lens of flow and social identity, we explored factors that influence information sharing behaviors in microblog services. With an empirical study, we examined enjoyment and concentration(flow) and self-presentation(social identity) in microblog services like twitter can contribute to the user behaviors. Our aim was to gain insight into ways of creating an environment that facilitating voluntary sharing of information. Our findings suggested that enjoyment, concentration, and selfpresentation were crucial determinants of information sharing behaviors in microblog services. This study has important implications for academic researchers and practitioners who seek to understand why microblog service users share their information with other members in microblog services.

The purpose of this study is to introduce the Podcast's concept, to perform the theoretical research of Podcast services based on Web 2.0, to analyze the application cases of Podcast for academic and public library services in USA, and to propose the proper application programs of Podcast in Korean academic & public libraries. As the results of this study, through the Podcast, the public libraries have served these : library & events introduction, user instruction, community news, special lecture, storytelling, library tour, etc, and the academic libraries have served these : special topic librarian introduction, special lectures, seminar, forum, addition to library tour. The results of this study will give the good examples for planning Podcast programs in Korean academic & public libraries.

Gamification is an effective strategy to enhance the quality of academic library services by encouraging student engagement and participation. This study developed a design framework for the effective implementation of gamification in academic libraries. To this end, a framework based on the information literacy model was developed through a literature review, content analysis of Korean and international case studies, and in-depth interviews with five librarians of academic libraries. The framework outlines the design elements and game mechanisms to be considered at each stage of the process, including task definition, information search, collection, utilization, and integration. Additionally, performance indicators were established to measure the cognitive, emotional, and social impacts of gamification. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for the systematic implementation and evaluation of gamification in academic libraries, ultimately contributing to increased user participation and enhanced learning motivation.

The academic information analysis service is including automatic recommendation of reviewers and analysis of researchers' accomplishments. The service of recommendation of reviewers should be processed in a transparent, fair and accountable way. When selecting reviewers, the following information must be considered: subject of project, reviewer's maj or, expertness of reviewer, relationship between applicant and reviewer. The analysis service of researchers' accomplishments is providing statistic information of researcher, institution and location based on accomplishments including book, article, patent, report and work of art. In order to support these services, we designed ontology for academic information, converted legacy data to RDF triples, expanded knowledge appropriate to services using OntoFrame. OntoFrame is service framework which includes ontology, reasoning engine, triple store. In our study, we propose the design methodology of ontology and service system for academic information based on OntoFrame. And then we explain the components of service system, processing steps of automatic recommendation of reviewers and analysis of researchers' accomplishments.

In this study, we link informal Web resources to KISTI NDSL's collections using automatic semantic indexing and tagging to examine the possibility of the service which recommends related documents using the similarity between KISTI's formal information resources and informal web resources. We collect and index Web resources and make automatic semantic linking through STEAK with KISTI's collections for NDSL retrieval. The macro precision which shows retrieval precision per a subject category is 62.6% and the micro precision which shows retrieval precision per a query is 66.9%. The experts' evaluation score is 76.7. This study shows the possibility of semantic linking NDSL retrieval results with Web information resources and expanding information services' coverage to informal information resources.

In this study, we wanted to find out about the perceptions and the requirements of the academic information service users about the Library 2.0. This study used the survey research method, which utilized the web-based survey using the academic information service users as the target population. Specifically, we studied whether and how the users recognized and experienced the Web 2.0 technologies and its related services with respect to Library 2.0. In addition, we gathered the requirements for the Library 2.0 concept applied information services. The analysis results showed that the users were in need of obtaining the most up-to-date information and also using the professional information services such as the experts generated information contents and the Google Scholar type document reference information services instead of the Library 2.0 services based on the Web 2.0 technologies.

The purpose of this study is to propose a plan to implement the comprehensive linking system centered on identifiers in order to provide seamless academic information services to researchers. To achieve this goal, interviews were conducted with 17 researchers from five centers and one secretariat belonging to KISTI. The contents of the interview are about the establishment and management status of the identifier of the academic information service DB. As a result of the interview, it was found that the identification rate for identifiers such as KOI was high in the case of domestic articles DB, but the identification rate for global identifiers such as ORCID was low in the case of foreign articles DB except for DOI. To solve this problem, this study proposes the council for joint use of a comprehensive linking system to build the comprehensive linking system model centered on identifiers. The joint use council will be organized around domestic academic information distribution institutions, and the council is expected to discover and implement new services through ID linkage by collecting foreign identifiers.
