A Study on the Historical Changes and Improvements in Food and Culture in the Korean Decimal Classification

The purposes of this study are to review the historical development of food and culture in the KDC (Korean Decimal Classification) and to propose improvements of the KDC to classify materials of food and culture by using the KDC effectively. First of all, changes of classification numbers and headings related to food and culture from the 1st edition to the 5th edition of the KDC were examined. Recent books about food and culture were examined and were classified according to the latest edition of the KDC. Several problems were found including a lack of headings, including notes in food and culture, a lack of headings about Korean foods in particular and reflections about various foods from other countries, a lack of detailed relative headings, and the remaining western oriented headings. Other classification systems about food and culture were analyzed and it was found that there was a need to have new headings for classifying Korean traditional foods and table services, new formats for a relative index, detailed notes, and changes in western oriented headings.

A Study on the Library Service Use and Needs of Disabled Users in Korea

본 연구는 KDC4판을 중심으로 국내 어린이도서관의 어린이 자료 분류의 개선 방안을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 문헌 연구, 국내 51개 어린이도서관의 KDC 적용 현황 조사와 부모 및 어린이 이용자의 요구 분석을 실시하였다. 국내 현황과 이용자 요구 분석 결과를 토대로 KDC 개선 방안을 분류체계 부문과 배가 부문으로 나누어 제시하였다. 우선, 분류체계 부문에서는 특정 기호에 집중되는 주제를 분산시키고, 어린이 자료의 다양한 유형과 특성, 다양한 어린이 문학 장르를 KDC 상에 반영해야 한다. 또한 학제적 주제에 대하여 상세한 주기 및 분류지침을 제공해야 한다. 배가 부문에서는 첫째, 이용자 친화적인 청구기호 구성과 배열 방법을 도입하고, 둘째, 이용자의 다양한 관심 분야를 반영한 컬렉션 구성과 어린이와 부모를 대상으로 이용교육을 실시하도록 제언하였다.

A Study on the Analysis of the Korean Decimal Classification(KDC) and Users` Needs in Libraries for Children in Korea

The purpose of this study is to improve the classification focused on KDC 4th edition for children`s materials. For the study, literature study, KDC application and user survey in 51 libraries for children were performed. Based on the results, classification for children`s materials is proposed to improve in two ways: classification system itself and arrangement in the shelf. First of all, it is required to scatter the subjects that are centered on specific numbers and to allow various types, characteristics and literature genre of children`s materials to be classified in KDC. KDC also should provide specific notes and classification guidelines for interdisciplinary subjects. In the shelf arrangement, it is proposed to consider the introduction of user-friendly call number and arrangement principles by ages or titles. In the end, it is necessary to compose various collections that represent users` needs, and the user education program is needed.

A Study on the Application of LibraryThing Folksonomy Tags through the Analysis of Elements related with Work

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the properties of the tags used in t he fiction genre, the structural aspect of the patterns and the contents of the tags by utilizin g LibraryThing, where the tags are assigned in work units of FRBR. A comparative analysis was conducted in terms of the level of association between the descriptive terms in bibliogra phy and LCSH terms. The study also examined the sources of the tags not included in the bibli ographic descriptions or LCSHs, what aspects of work they represented, and the terms used as ta gs in relation to the work. By restricting the study to a single genre, a number of tags th at reflected the characteristics of fiction (three elements of the fiction which are theme, plot , style and three elements of the fiction composition which are character, event, setting) we re extracted. This study finds out the role of the tag making up the taxonomy and proposes a n ew direction for the tagging system by demonstrating the possibility of using tags as facets in information organization and retrieval.키워드: 폭소노미, 태그, 집단지성, 사회적 분류, 사회적 네트워킹, 소설 검색, 정보 조직 folksonomy, tag, tagger, social classification, social indexing , social tagging, social networking, social cataloging, LibraryThing, LibraryThing for L ibraries, LTFL

A Study on the Archives and Records Management Programs in the Schools of Library and Information Science in the U.S.A.

The purpose of this study is to identify several factors necessary to the curriculum development of the archives and records management in Korea by analyzing archival programs of to Schools of Library and Information Science(SLIS) in the U.S.A. Name of the schools, programs and their degrees, credits, required and elective courses, practice, research, facilities, and SAA guidelines of graduate archival programs are compared by analyzing websites and the literature review. There are a few LIS schools that concentrate archival education and most of the archival programs don`t cover all of the core archival knowledge suggested in the LIS schools. In conclusion, the core curriculum of archival science should include history and preservation of archives, archives and records management, information technology, management principles, practicum, and research/ thesis. And a lot of cooperated research and conversation between educational institutions and practical fields are required.

A Study on Structure of a Faceted Classification for Organizing Korean Food Information

The purpose of this study is to develop a faceted classification that enables the conceptualization and the organization of Korean food information. 23,470 terms were collected, categorized, and analyzed from the table of contents in 776 monographs and directory headings in portal sites related to Korean food. In order to develop the Korean food classification, common properties were analyzed in the process of categorizing terms. Then basic facets and subfacets were defined and assigned, and hierarchies among facets and concepts, citation orders, and notations were decided. As a result, the classification scheme consisted of 16 basic facets and 85 subfacets. The citation order of facets was proposed in order of Personality facet (kinds of dishes), Matter facet (materials, cooking utensils/equipment/containers, and nutrients), Energy facet (cooking processes and techniques, eating sense, type of cooking, table services, and agents of cooking), Space facet (countries/ethnic groups/geography, and eating places), Time facet (situation/purposes, season, time of meals, periods, and ages). The result of this study will be used for organizing, searching, retrieving, and providing Korean food information effectively around the world. Also, it will provide a foundation for developing subject-oriented classification using facet analysis in other disciplines.

A Study on Modifications and Expansions of Area Divisions of Korea in Auxiliary Table of Dewey Decimal Classification

This study aims to analyze and compare the structures of auxiliary tables regarding places - for example, Korea using several decimal classification systems such as DDC, UDC, KDC and NDC. For each auxiliary table, the codes were described in detail and the special characteristics were discussed. The common characteristics and the different aspects of different decimal classification systems were investigated as well as divisions of Korea in Korean Wikipedia and an administrative district classification system. This study suggests a new basic summary for the expansion of codes of Korea in auxiliary table in DDC with its principles and options and it will be useful for revising process of many decimal classification systems.

A Study on Developing Modifications to the Dewey Decimal Classification for Korean Foods

Based upon its variety and specialties, Korean food has the potential power to become globalized, and a national public relations strategy for global competitiveness. In this process, a proper organization of information about Korean foods should be given a priority. The purposes of this study are to analyze the classification status and case studies of Korean foods in Korean libraries, to understand how much Korean foods are represented in the classification scheme and what should be improved, and to suggest a modified expansion of DDC 22. In so doing, an attempt is made to provide some evidences of the revision of DDC 22 as well as useful practices of modified DDC 22 in Korean libraries.한식은 세계화의 충분한 잠재력과 가능성을 갖고 있으며 한식의 다양성과 특수성이 국가경쟁력을 제공하는 국가 홍보 전략의 하나가 될 수 있다. 이를 위해서 가장 먼저 바탕이 되어야하는 것이 한식과 관련해서 쏟아져 나오는 정보의 조직화이다. 따라서 본 연구는 한식에 관한 자료의 분류 현황 및 사례 분석을 바탕으로 한식이 문헌분류표에 반영된 정도와 앞으로 개선되어야할 사항을 파악하고 DDC의 수정 전개안의 제안을 통해 DDC 22판 개정의 근거와 국내 도서관의 DDC 수정 전개 찰용을 제공하고자 하였다.
