This study examines user satisfaction in public libraries nationwide. It analyzes service quality factors that affect user satisfaction of public library patrons and identify sub-factors of service quality that affect the overall user satisfaction. User satisfaction factors were developed to measure library satisfaction in all aspects of the library service. Six variables were identified, including volume of books, staff, programs, facilities, online services, and information availability. According to survey findings, general library satisfaction was strongly correlated with information availability, facilities, and staff. Relatively lower levels of satisfaction were identified in the areas of online services and programs. All six service quality factors were statistically significantly associated with user satisfaction, where information availability, facilities, and volume of books showed stronger associations than the other three factors.

This study aimed to make an empirical investigation into the effects of supervisor's ethical leadership in a public library on its members' organization citizenship behaviors. While a number of studies on the associations between ethical leadership and organization citizenship behavior were carried out in other areas, such studies have been very few in the area of library. In this context, this study hypothesized and verified the relationship between ethical leadership and organization citizenship behaviors in the area of library. As a result of empirical analysis, it was found that ethical leadership has positive (+) effects on conscientiousness, courtesy, and sportsmanship among the components of organization citizenship behaviors. This demonstrates the importance of ethical leadership, and suggests the necessity for further extensive studies that investigate the effects of ethical leadership on members' organizational commitment and job satisfaction, through the input of diverse variables.

Today, if a work is created and published, new items concerned with it gets expended extremely. There are bibliographic relationships between the original work and new items as it is translations, revisions, reproductions, critiques etc. Bibliographic relationships refer to the connections and associations between two or more than two bibliographic items. Tillett's study with taxonomy, as well as other studies of the bibliographic relationships is used as the foundation for analysis of the work types. The current study examines the work types based upon the bibliographic relationships of Korean publications. KORMARC records of the Korean collection of the Chonnam National University Library is used to draw a sample for analysis. The research results of the study are provided for future studies on the KORMARC format and organization of Korean collections.

The main objective of this article lies in discussing dependecy issues as related to information development in NICs. The theoretical foundation was drawn from theories of 'dependency' and of 'information societies,' The main assertion of the dependency school (the more dependency, the less development) was applied for a test of the relationship between dependency on foreign scientific and technical information (STI) resources and indigenous STI development in NICs. Utilizing a case study method, this study explored the causes and results of dependency on foreign STI in a leading NIC­the Republic of Korea (ROK). First identified were the economic factors that might have influenced the ROK's dependency on foreign STI. Also investigated were the social factors that might have had associations with the R&D personnel's dependency on foreign STI. Regarding the development of information area, this study discussed general features in the process of producing, organizng, and gatekeeping indigenous STIIdentified regarding the ROK's information dependency was the R&D personnel's pattern of using foreign STI resources as well as the country's dependency on foreign STI resources. This study also discussed the socio-economic progress toward an information society in ROK for the past decades. Finally, specific linkages between the selected five variables were examined on the basis of the proposed four hypotheses.

As new technologies change a society, librarians need to understand and adapt to technology innovations. However, most innovations that librarians are supposed to adopt are government-driven or top-down changes; and there have been very few studies conducted to identify any patterns or consistencies in librarians' perceptions of innovation. This paper, therefore, has two research purposes. First, it introduces the Concern Based Adoption Model (CBAM) as one method to gain a deeper understanding of how librarians see such changes. Second, this study identifies school librarians' concerns regarding digital textbooks in South Korea applying the CBAM theory. The test signifies that school librarians present a typical non-user profile, and the pattern anticipates a potential resistance to digital textbooks. Also, it discovers the less experienced and innovator librarians had higher concerns across every stage. The findings underscore a need of various interventions. The CBAM theory suggests, in terms of intense Stage 0 and 1, it is required for school librarians to have events to gain information about digital textbook implementation. Regarding targeted interventions, since the biggest gaps occurs in Stage 4, Consequence and Stage 5, Collaboration, according to school librarians' experience and adoption style, new school librarians need stronger engagement with the community, which including associations, mentors or peer support, and collaborating with public libraries; innovator school librarians require opportunities to test and present their use of digital textbooks (Hall and Hord 1987).
