Abstract

In this study, we investigated the information users' needs and information seeking behavior in the field of science and technology. We found that the science and technology researchers most frequently needed information while conducting the research & development related tasks and drafting research papers. The researchers attributed the main sources of research ideas to be the communication among colleagues and the literature review. The researchers's most preferred information sources were digital libraries, web search engines, and academic information portal. In conclusion, the science and technology researchers regarded the online use of electronic materials as the primary source of information. We hope that this investigation reported herein to be the foundation for developing user-centered information services for the science and technology discipline.

초록

본 연구는 정보추구의 과도성으로 인해 자행되는 프라이버시 침해를 살펴보고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 최근 5년간 미디어에서 볼 수 있었던 프라이버시 침해 사례를 종류별로 분석, 이 중 지나친 정보추구행동의 결과로 나타나는 침해 사례들을 분석하였다. 정보추구의 동기, 주체, 성격이라는 세 가지 기준, 다섯 가지 유형에 기반, 과도한 정보추구로 인해 발생하는 프라이버시 침해를 사례별로 소개했다. 환경변화에 따른 바람직한 정보추구 자세와 프라이버시 침해 방지를 위한 정보이용에 대한 몇 가지 고민과 제언으로 마무리하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to try to describe types of invasion of privacy caused by excessive information seeking on mass media. Recent 5 years of cases were gathered and analyzed to see the types of invasion of privacy, and extracted only those cases showing the results by excessive information seeking. Three standards such as the intension, the subject, and the characteristics were selected to differentiate the types and cases. Five types of those three standards were introduced by case by case. The issues regarding ways of privacy protection and correct attitude of information seeking were explored and a few suggestions were included at the end.
