Multimedia searching is an important activity on the Web, especially among the younger generation. The purpose of this study aims to examine college students’ multimedia information needs and searching on the Internet. While there is a clear pattern among students with respect to their multimedia uses, searching sources, relevance criteria and searching barriers, some differences exist especially according to searching of different multimedia types such as image, audio and video. For multimedia uses, information/data-focused uses are frequently found in image and video, while the use of audio is mainly for object-focused searches. As multimedia searching sources, audio and video files present a similar pattern of being high in media specific searching sources and low in generic search engines. Browsing through related blogs and homepages is an important part of searching for media files accounting for approximately 20% of total search for each media. The relevance criteria used by study participants when search for image files was primarily concerned with topicality while the contextual and media quality in the audio and video types are also considered important. Searching barriers for audio and video files are categorized into three broad aspects, including access and search quality, preview limitations and collection limitations, while obstacles for image files searching include access difficulties and low qualities of various collection.

In 2010 there are 759 public libraries in Korea, and they have been increased constantly for the recent four to five years. In order to make them as cultural spaces in local communities, Korean government is now planning to increase the number of public libraries up to 900 and to build small to medium-sized multiple purpose libraries rather than large and single purpose ones. Especially in the case of public libraries in metropolitan cities, which are main libraries in those areas, they should be designed to play major functions of cultural experience, exhibition, and life-long education as well as to meet the basic needs of providing books for public reading and of building and developing branch libraries based on local characteristics. Above all, in order to make a public library as a center of local culture, a space planning focused on increasing utilization and satisfaction of the residents is required. It is essential to conduct a survey to understand the needs of the residential users and reflect their opinions. In this regard, our research process was constructed as follows. First, precedent studies on a certain densely populated area were reviewed. Second, a survey was conducted in Ulsan city to figure out the needs and the satisfaction level of the actual users. The purpose of this study is to propose a better space planning approach for public libraries in metropolitan cities based on the analysis.

This study focused on the survey of academic high school students' information needs and their information seeking patterns. On the basis of its results, this study suggested school library services and programs. To do this, this study collected its data through survey and interviews. Specifically, this study discussed 1) the types of academic high school students' everyday concerns and the ways to deal with them. 2) the types and characteristics of their preferred information sources, 3) the school library services and programs for satisfying their information needs.

This study considers that the establishment of a public library within multi-use complex is one of the most effective ways to expand infrastructure of public libraries in Korea. A survey on the complexation rates of public libraries in Seoul was made through on-the-spot visits and telephone interviews. It turned out that out of all 112 public libraries in Seoul, 55 of them are in multi complex buildings. In order to efficiently establish public libraries to multi-use complex, absolute consideration on the size, location, and space should be made. Moreover, if necessary, additional complexation with commercial facilities, schools, and local government buildings should be made.

Currently, a BIM-based quantity takeoff (QTO) system is mainly focused on architectural projects. To perform this, diverse quantity takeoff methods such as an object-based automatic quantity takeoff, manual quantity and base functions of calculation have widely been utilizing. However, since BIM library for road projects includes structural elements associated with alignment, it is necessary to establish cost estimation system interlocked with historical cost using 3D library by each unit length. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to develop cost estimation model with using a historical cost approach so that it can be utilized in construction planning based on the BIM library for road projects. For this, based on the BIM library for road, the standardized quantity is estimated, and a process for calculating historical cost and a verification model with a 5D simulation was developed by mapping a WBS code with each BIM library object. This can be applied during the approximate cost estimation process in a project planning and an initial design phase for road projects. Besides, it is expected that these results will be utilized in constructing an optimal historical cost estimation process for project libraries.

The purpose of this paper is to understand copyright exemption for libraries including Copyright Act Article 31. Especially, it is focused on the impacts on fair use article which is recently introduced in Korean Copyright Act. It looks into completely copyright exemption which libraries can make use of. And then it also rearranges the resources which library can use without the copyright owner's permission. Further, it explores the meanings of fair use and the detail requirements for adoption to library services. And it analyzed some cases which can be applied substantially for library services.

This study was conducted with a view to examining the determinants of the public library budget in the local governments of south korea. To the end, this study used the public library budget data and macro/micro environments data of 167 local governments in 2017. The analysis results shows that the determinants which have an effect on the public library budget are metropolitan area, the level of education, the population size of young adults in terms of the macro environment, and the number of users, books, and librarians in terms of the micro environment.

Since information technology such as database or network technology was brought into the information and library science fields, the functions and services of libraries have drastically changed. To cope with the changes of fields, library schools have been improving curricula. This study collected curricula of library and information science in US and Korea and selected classes related to information technology. It also investigated the title keywords and keywords of class description statistically. As a result, 'system, 'database', 'network', 'programing', 'web' are major topic keywords for both countries, but 'library'shows high frequency pnly in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to find the ways that will be helpful to improve archival system and to establish National Archives. The contents of this study were focused on comparing the characteristics of archival system in governmental administration,: Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary. They were also focused on analyzing the problems of those current system. This research was basically conducted depending on the detailed articles of the legislation and regulation pertinent to the archives. Two major results of the research are 1) There are much differences among the governmental administrations in structuring and organizing for archival administrations. Archival works of government document are divided primarily according to the period of conservation and it is necessary to establish the regional archives and central management system, and to employ archivists as an expert staff. 2) The principles and methods of archival process, such as transferences, classifications, preservations, access, and destructions are similar to each other. In order to improve and co-ordinate current systems, it is necessary to constitute several councils endowed with consultative and decision-making power.
