본 연구의 목적은 공중보건의들이 환자 치료와 학술적인 연구를 하기 위해 요구하는 정보를 효율적으로 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 2000년 10월 23일부터 11월 11일까지 3주 동안 공중보건의 298명을 대상으로 조사하였으며 이용자들의 정보요구와 이용행위로 정보수집방법과 정보원, 그리고 도서관 이용정도와 만족도를 평가한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 공중보건의들은 환자치료와 최근의 연구동향을 알고자할 때 정보를 가장 많이 필요로 하는 것으로 나타났다. 가장 많이 이용하는 정보원은 단행본(교과서)과 학술지로 인쇄본을 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 공중보건의들이 그들의 정보요구를 충족시키기 위해 선호하는 정보수입방법은 인터넷 검색과 동료들로 그 이유는 정보접근의 편이성과 정확성 최신성인 것으로 나타났다. 3) 이용자의 50.3%가 정보이용에 어려움을 느낀다고 하였는데 그 이유는 주로 지역적인 문제와 문헌전달의 지연에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4) 공중보건의들은 정보가 필요할 때 주로 도서관을 이용하여 필요한 정보를 얻는 경향이 있으나 대체적으로 보아 도서관 이용빈도수는 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다.

Information and a conducive environment of its free flow is a vital tool in all forms of human endeavour. It is the link pin of national development. For a nation to develop it needs to have and provide relevant, updated and adequate information on food security, health, democracy, population, education, family planning, youth empowerment, gender quality, environment etc. The information intermediaries are the persons to modulate these complexities and find match between the information sources and users needs to satisfaction of Ranganathan's law: Books are for use; Every reader his/her book; Every book its reader; Save the time of the reader; Library is a growing organism. The relative importance of these norms in modern context has been evident from experience, study, observations, discussions, etc., and only by scientists and technologists, but also by managers, planners, and policy makers. They recognize the usefulness of information in the performance of their needs information needs. Libraries are therefore proper management, provision and dissemination of such information. It is clearly visible in the contemporary context, that the libraries in the knowledge society are much more than the book depositories This article looks at the theory/practice divide in library and information science and particularly Ranganathan's contributions, basic statements remain as valid in substance if not in expression as -to-day as when they were promulgated, concisely representing the ideal service and organizational philosophy of libraries today.

1. Library practice education in Korea is in the form of field experience, that is, Practicum, which is one type of field experience. 2. The practicum is a short-term work experience guided by the academic institutions. (2 to 6 weeks of full time employment in a library, or one to two semesters of approximately 10 to 12 hours weekly) 3. Field work is largely accepted as a required subject. 4. Field work is usually carried out during the first semester of senior year. (or of sophomore year in junior college) 5. Libraries in other universities (or in other institutions) can beused for a student's field work. But the current tendency is to use his or her own university's library. 6. Most universities give one credit for 2 weeks' field work. 7. The method of evaluation is strict: A or 'excellent' (above 90), B or 'good' (above 80), C or 'fair' (above 70), D or 'bad' (above 60). 8. The expense of field work is usually included in the tuition fees. However, some think that an additional fees should be collected in the case of special practice. 9. Respondents to my survey say that the field experience is necessary so that professional librarians can connect theory and practice. 10. They also indicate that there are some problems in library practice education: administrative difficulties in the department chairman's office, the burden on professors in the library being used, and the limited number of libraries in which the field work is practicable. 11. The Department of Library Science is responsible primarily for providing faculty supervision over the students, and secondarily for the preparation of evaluation cards and field work reports. 12. Most of the faculty respondents use evaluation cards for the field work, some of which serve as grade sheets, some as field work diaries, and some as field work reports.

This study evaluated the fiction collection of Korean public libraries by applying use factor and suggested various measures to enhance collection development function. As a result, while the collection building and borrowing ratios of Korean literature in literature collection by language were the highest at 62.6% and 54.3% respectively, the use factor was lower than the base value(1.00). And while the collection building and borrowing ratios of Korean contemporary fiction by item category were the highest at 65.60% and 51.36% respectively, the use factor was lower than the base value and the use factor by year is decreasing in recent years. The reason is because of poor collection development. Therefore, public library need to consider active alternatives such as establishment of the collection development policy and fiction collection development guideline, composition of the fiction material selection committee, adaption of the dedicated librarian system for fiction material development, development and utilization of a selection tool for fiction materials, and periodic evaluation of fiction collection.
