This is a way of establishing the information sovereignty in the industrial knowledge of society. The occurrence of the industrial knowledge of society builds knowledge and information as digital system. Digitalized knowledge and information has some characteristics of which the information should be light and variable, so that it can be transmitted rapidly. At this moment, if information super highway is built, and the digitalized information of the advanced information country comes to us, we are to get easily information dependence unless we are ready. Nowadays, our country is accepting the knowledge and information of the advanced information countries without filtering it properly. What is the reason? This means that we are lack of traditional knowledge resourses as the foundation of digital system. This paper deals with (1) the historical reason of the lackness of the traditional knowledge resourses, (2) the aspect of the consumer culture about knowledge and information, and (3) the aspect of the production culture about the knowledge and information. In order to overcome the information dependence, in this paper, we should change both production and consumption of our knowledge and information into a new pattern, establish the seed knowledge resourses, and build libraries everywhere we can use easily. For this case study, this paper takes examples of maeul (which may mean traditional villiage in Korea.) libraries on Changwon City.
