For a library to be able provide information services and fulfill its function as a knowledge convergence center capable of responding to various information demands, the development of next-generation information systems based on the latest information and communication technology is needed. The development of mobile information services using portable devices such smart phones and tablet PCs and information systems which incorporate the concepts of cloud computing, SaaS (Software as a Service), annotation and Library2.0 is also required. This paper describes a library information system that utilizes collective intelligence and cloud computing. The information system developed for this study adopts the SaaS-based cloud computing service concept to cope with the shift in the mobile service paradigm in libraries and the explosion of electronic data. The strengths of such a conceptual model include the sharing of resources, support of multi-tenants, and the configuration and support of metadata. The user services are provided in the form of software on-demand. To test the performance of the developed system, the efficiency analysis and TTA certification test were conducted. The results of performance tests, It is encouraging that, at least up to 100MB, the job time is approximately linear and with only a moderate overhead of less than one second. The system also passed the level-3 or higher criteria in the certification test, which includes the SaaS maturity, performance and application program functions.

대부분 도서관시스템 서비스 제공은 ASP 또는 Client/Server 방식으로 제공함으로써 하드웨어 및 소프트웨 어 라이센스의 고비용, 설치 및 배포, 구매비, Upgrade, Customization, 문제점 관리 등 소프트웨어 전반에 걸쳐 고비 용과 관리가 힘든 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안된 멀티테넌트 환경을 지원하는 스마트도서 관시스템에서는 간편하며, 쉽고, 초기 투자비용이 거의 없고, 저비용 IT 서비스가 가능한 소프트웨어 온-디멘드 방식으로 구현하였다.

By providing Asp or Client/Server method, most library system service proposal has a problem that is hard to manage and high cost across the software like high cost of hardware and software license, installation and distribution, purchasing cost, upgrade, customization, problem management etc. As proposed in order to solve this problem, smart library system that supporting multi-tenant environment realized on-demand mode that is a simple and little initial investment costs and possible for low cost IT service.

Most library systems use the client/server and ASP services for their software. However, such systems are difficult to manage and incur high operating costs because of the problems related to high HW and SW purchasing costs, installation and distribution, customization, upgrade, fault and problem management, and costly license royalties. To solve such problems, this study developed the key elements that can be deployed in the SaaS-based digital library system supporting the multi-tenant environment (SaaS maturity level 3 or higher). The system was deployed with the SaaS-based software on-demand type service model, which requires little initial investment, is simple and easy to use, and delivers the IT service at a low cost. The system proposed in this paper features multi-tenant-oriented application resource sharing and optimization, multi-tenant-oriented data space sharing and isolation, multitenant- oriented back-end data management, and isolated multi-tenant-oriented hosting in order to solve many problems of the existing problems.

최근 도서관을 찾는 이용객들이 증가하면서 도서관의 시설이 넓어지고 좋아지고 있다. 또한 책의 종류도 다양해졌다. 시설이 넓어지고 직접 책을 검색하여 찾으러 가기 힘들어지고 시간 소요도 많이 된다는 불편함이 있고 도서 대출증이 없다면 책을 빌리기 힘들고 사서에게 부탁해야 한다는 번거로움이 있다. 본 시스템은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 이용객의 스마트폰에 회원 정보가 담긴 바코드를 부여하고 대여할 책을 로봇이 이용객에게 가져다주는 기능을 제공한다. 이로써 대출증 소유의 불편함과 책을 찾는 불필요한 시간을 단축할 수 있다. 또한 로봇을 이용하는 도서관이라는 타이틀로 이용객이 증가할 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, we constructed a system to operating and manage the resources of the Smart Library Reading Room automatically using the Internet of things. The persistent problem of smart library or unattended library is electric energy waste and efficient seat management. The electricity and seat layout management method of the existing library reading room is being treated as concentrated management in the central system. However, this approach results in wasting electricity and seats do not provide a fair opportunity for each user. In this study, IoT sensor was used to turn off electricity and empty seat for about 20 minutes, so that it could be marked as vacant and managed efficiently, so that opportunities for seats were evenly maintained. In the future, we will improve this and construct a model in the reading room of actual village library or school library, and analyze and reflect the result.
