Appearance of full-text online is the most encouraging phenomenon ·during the development of databases. The full-text databases of today is derived from by-product of electronic publication of printed materials. Now, there are also some movements toward electronic production of documents in Korea although not powerful. The present study is designed to examine the characteristics and effective retrieval method of full-text databases now commercially available through various vendors. The outline of this paper IS as follows: First, background and present situation of existing full-text database services through national and worldwide are examined. Second, free-text searching system of full-text databases is compared with controlled vocabulary system. The factors influencing on free-text retrieval performance, searching thesaurus, and hybrid or compromising system, which is using limited controlled vocabulary in conjunction with natural language for the enrichment needed for practical operation of the . system, are examined. Third, user demands through the analysis of preceding studies on 'various types of full-text databases are recognised. Fouth, application of CD-ROM full-text database to the libraries and information centers is examined as prospective resources for them. Finally, some problems and prospect of full-text databases are presented.

SGML(Standard Generalized Markup Language) and its application to full-text database including a table, a figure and a picture are explained. A structure of SGML based full-text database Is defined by DTD(document type definition) written in SGML, and full-text itself is described with generalized markup depending on DTD. This article explains how to represent a document structure : a hierarchical structure like a chapter, a section, or a paragraph, or non-hierarchical(referencial) structure like a note, a table, a figure or a picture. Merits of SGML, electronic publishing, a retrieval system or hypertext and SGML tools are also described.

The recent growth of full-text database operations has brought new opportunities for subject access. The fundamental problem of subject access in the online environment is the indexing language and technology. The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics and capabilities of full-text retrieval as compared to traditional bibliographic retrieval. Retrieval performance of indexing languages, full-text systems features achieved so far, and the new role of a controlled vocabulary, are examined. This paper also includes a review of the research on full-text retrieval performance.

Form the middle of 199os, most universities in Korea have requested their students to submit not only the original text books but also their Electronic Theses and Dissertations(ETD) for masters degree and doctorates degree. The ETD submitted by the students are usually developed by various kinds of word processors such as MS-Word, LaTex, and HWP. Since there is no standard format for ETD to merge various different formats yet, it is difficult to construct the integrated database that provides full-tex service. In this paper, we transform three different ETD formats into a unified one, construct a full-text database, and implement the full-text retrieval system for effective search in the Internet environment.

This is an exploratory study targeting initial users to evaluate the usability of an aggregator-supplied full-text database and to analyze the differences in task performance and perceptions based on participant characteristics. The differences in completion time and perceptions on ease of use, terminology, subject categories and satisfaction were analyzed based on the participant characteristics such as Kolb learning style, gender and participation in user instruction on full-text databases. The results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in completion time based on the Kolb learning style. Also a statistically significant difference was found in perceptions on ease of use and terminology based on gender. However no statistically significant difference was found in perceptions on the usability of the database based on the participation in user instruction.

This study described about development the integrated management system for research reports and construction full text database of KAERI reports. This system enables centralization of various information related to reports by connecting with management information system. The advantages of this study are consistency of database between digital library and MIS, reduction of budget and manpower and increase of research productivity.

Such information services source like digital library has been asked information services of atypical multimedia database like image, voice, VOD/AOD. Examined in this study are suggestions such as word-phrase generator, syllable recoverer, morphological analyzer, corrector for voice processing. Suggested voice processing technique transform voice database into tort database, then extract index database from text database. On top of this, the study suggest a information retrieval model to use in extracted index database, voice full-text information retrieval.

Rising publication costs and declining financial resources have resulted in renewed interest among librarians in resource sharing. Although the idea of sharing resources is not new, there is a sense of urgency not seen in the past. Driven by rising publication costs and static and often shrinking budgets, librarians are embracing resource sharing as an idea whose time may finally have come. Resource sharing in electronic environments is creating a shift in the concept of the library as a warehouse of print-based collection to the idea of the library as the point of access to need information. Much of the library's material will be delivered in electronic form, or printed. In this new paradigm libraries can not be expected to su n.0, pport research from their own collections. These changes, along with improved communications, computerization of administrative functions, fax and digital delivery of articles, advancement of data storage technologies, are improving the procedures and means for delivering needed information to library users. In short, for resource sharing to be truly effective and efficient, however, automation and data communication are essential. The possibility of using full-text online databases as a su n.0, pplement to interlibrary loan for document delivery is examined. At this point, this article presents possibility of using full-text online databases as a means to interlibrary loan for document delivery. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows : First, turn-around time and the cost of getting a hard copy of a journal article from online full-text databases was comparable to the other document delivery services. Second, the use of full-text online databases should be considered as a method for promoting interlibrary loan services, as it is more cost-effective and labour saving. Third, for full-text databases to work as a document delivery system the databases must contain as many periodicals as possible and be loaded on as many systems as possible. Forth, to contain many scholarly research journals on full-text databases, we need guidelines to cover electronic document delivery, electronic reserves. Fifth, to be a full full-text database, more advanced information technologies are really needed.
