The purpose of this study is to propose ways to improve and strengthen teaching-learning methods of studies through school library-based instruction. For the aim, this study analyzed 64 inquiry tasks included in five 2022 revised middle school social studies 1 textbooks with the information processing model. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that there were more group topics to strengthen interpersonal intelligence and that cognitive behavior became more diverse. According to the model, the main input element was photography, the processing elements were analysis and creation and the output elements were writing and filling tables. In addition, there was a lot of group evaluation due to the influence of group activity tasks. Especially in the social sector, the input elements such as picture words, websites and books were diverse, and the processing elements such as evaluation, application, creation, and analysis were also varied. And various experiential activities were used as output factors. Therefore, teacher librarians should build a library environment for individual and group learning and develop integrated tools that link library materials and inquiry tasks and learning tools for expression and evaluation. In addition, a linkage system between school library and out of school resources must be established to support experience-based inquiry activities.

This study was performed for the current status of the Busan Metropolitan Simin Library’s collection of modern materials published in the 1950s and earlier. It also assessed their value and assessed their preservation environment. This study aimed to propose a plan for establishing a preservation system for the library’s valuable materials. To this end, the preservation status of 9,068 volumes of modern materials published in the 1950s and earlier was assessed, catalog data was revised, the current holdings were analyzed, the material value was assessed, and the library’s storage environment was analyzed. The results of the study provided implications for achieving the objectives of this study and three proposals for establishing a preservation system for the library’s valuable materials were proposed. First, the establishment of a preservation plan to remodel or transfer the current storage space for the preservation of valuable materials to a third location was suggested. Second, measures were prepared to prevent natural deterioration or acidification to prevent further damage to valuable materials stored in the storage space of Busan Metropolitan Simin Library. Third, the necessity of reorganizing related organizations and reinforcing personnel was suggested to secure a system and expertise in the management of old documents and valuable materials of Busan Metropolitan Simin Library.

This study is to propose a method for describing the attributes of works and expressions and their authorized access points in KORMARC for the application of the revised KCR5 by conducting a literature review, an analysis of KCR5, and expert consultations. Based on these, three approaches for applying KCR5 are suggested. First, for a KORMARC implementation scenario of KCR5 works and expressions, the attributes of manifestations and items are recorded in bibliographic records, while the attributes of works and expressions and their authorized access points are recorded in authority records. Second, the attributes of works and expressions may be recorded independently, as part of access points, or in both ways, and appropriate KORMARC fields or subfield capable of accommodating the relevant elements are proposed. When constructing authorized access points, the study suggests distinguishing elements based on subfields rather than punctuation. In particular, although many elements corresponding to the content of works and expressions have traditionally been described in bibliographic records as manifestation, these elements have been moved to the attributes of works and expressions; therefore, methods for describing them are proposed. Third, for the description of authorized access points for works and expressions, the study presents guidelines for the choosing and recording preferred titles and additional elements, and illustrates differences in authorized access points according to various types of works. Accordingly, this study identifies the characteristics of KCR5 reflecting FRBR, proposes methods for implementing these characteristics, and presents practical approaches for describing them in KORMARC. As such, the findings can be practically utilized by libraries when applying KCR5.
