다양한 최신 정보기기가 학업과 여가를 위한 일상 속 정보이용에서 매우 폭넓게 사용되고 있는 최근 동향을 볼 때, 학생들의 정보기기 활용행태에 대한 이해는 정보행동연구에서 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 차세대 과학기술발전을 담당할 주역인 과학기술전공 대학생과 대학원생들이 그들의 일상 속에서 사용하고 있는 정보기기의 유형과 사용 목적, 그리고, 최신 스마트 정보기기의 활용도와 활용 패턴 등을 조사하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 대학생과 대학원생의 정보기기활용 패턴을 비교하는 한편, 학업과 비학업 영역에서의 활용패턴도 함께 비교분석하였다. 연구방법으로 일상관찰기록법과 설문지법을 사용하여 국내 4개 대학에 재학 중인 총 83명의 과학기술전공 학생을 대상으로 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 넷세대 과학기술전공 대학(원)생들의 스마트기기를 포함한 총체적 정보기기 활용 패턴을 그들의 일상생활을 통해 파악함으로써 차세대 과학기술자들을 위한 정보서비스 및 시스템 설계에 토대가 될 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

Abstract

This study purported to study the uses of information and communication technology (ICT) tools in their daily life among the undergraduate and graduate students majoring science and engineering. It also examined the purposes of the uses of the major ICT tools, the differences in their information technology uses between graduate and undergraduate students. The data were collected from 83 undergraduate and graduate students from four universities using content analysis of an observational logs and a survey questionnaire. The observational logs were collected using an instant message application available on a smart phone. Study results revealed desktop computers, laptop computers, and smart phones as the three most heavily used ICT tools among the participants and typical situations students use each of the three tools. There were also sharp distinctions between graduate and undergraduate students in their selection of the tools, and distinctions between work and non-work situations. The findings of this study can be used to redesign information services and systems for the scientists and engineers in the next generation.

현대사회의 다양하고 복잡한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 학문영역을 넘나드는 학제적 연구가 등장하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근 다양한 영역에서 주목 받고 있는 빅데이터 분야를 대상으로 학제성을 규명하고 학제적 구조를 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 빅데이터를 다룬 학술지 총 1,083종의 데이터를 수집하였다. 이 중 420종(38.8%)의 학술지에 둘 이상의 Web of Science SC범주가 부여되었고, 239종(22.1%)에 부여된 SC범주는 상이한 학문영역에 속하여 빅데이터 분야의 비교적 높은 학제성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 함께 논문 게재 상위 56종의 학술지를 대상으로 서지결합분석 네트워크를 생성한 결과 총 10개의 군집이 나타났다. 10개 군집 중 7개 군집이 컴퓨터공학 분야에 해당하여 대부분의 연구가 빅데이터의 저장, 처리, 분석 등 기술적인 부분에 집중되어 있었다. 이외에도 군집분석을 통해 과학기술, 공학, 커뮤니케이션, 법학, 지리학, 생명공학 등 다양한 분야에서 빅데이터의 분석과 활용에 관한 연구가 이루어지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 네트워크에서 매개중심성, 최근접중심성, 삼각매개중심성을 측정한 결과 컴퓨터공학 분야의 학술지들이 네트워크에 미치는 영향력이 크고 주제적 연관성이 강한 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

Interdisciplinary approach has been recognized as one of key strategies to address various and complex research problems in modern science. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interdisciplinary characteristics and structure of the field of big data. Among the 1,083 journals related to the field of big data, multiple Subject Categories (SC) from the Web of Science were assigned to 420 journals (38.8%) and 239 journals (22.1%) were assigned with the SCs from different fields. These results show that the field of big data indicates the characteristics of interdisciplinarity. In addition, through bibliographic coupling network analysis of top 56 journals, 10 clusters in the network were recognized. Among the 10 clusters, 7 clusters were from computer science field focusing on technical aspects such as storing, processing and analyzing the data. The results of cluster analysis also identified multiple research works of analyzing and utilizing big data in various fields such as science & technology, engineering, communication, law, geography, bio-engineering and etc. Finally, with measuring three types of centrality (betweenness centrality, nearest centrality, triangle betweenness centrality) of journals, computer science journals appeared to have strong impact and subjective relations to other fields in the network.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate image search query reformulation patterns in relation to image attribute categories. A total of 592 sessions and 2,445 queries from the Excite Web search engine log data were analyzed by utilizing Batley’s visual information types and two facets and seven sub-facets of query reformulation patterns. The results of this study are organized with two folds: query reformulation and categorical transition. As the most dominant categories of queries are specific and general/nameable, this tendency stays over various search stages. From the perspective of reformulation patterns, while the Parallel movement is the most dominant, there are slight differences depending on initial or preceding query categories. In examining categorical transitions, it was found that 60-80% of search queries were reformulated within the same categories of image attributes. These findings may be applied to practice and implementation of image retrieval systems in terms of assisting users’ query term selection and effective thesauri development.

Abstract

The domain of digital libraries is one of interdisciplinary fields since it contains various aspects of digital libraries. The main findings of digital library interdisciplinarity have been discussed in terms of contents, management and infrastructural technologies within the field of library and information science. The purpose of this study is to identify and widen the interdisciplinary structure of digital library domain by analyzing the collaborations from different disciplines. With 1,394 research articles of digital libraries from 1997 to 2010, the analysis of collaborations of authors from various disciplines was conducted. The results identified that three subject areas of authors such as Information science and library science, Computer science and Engineering were found as the centers to collaborate with various disciplines. In addition, sub-domains of digital library were recognized in terms of core digital library area, natural science area, medical related area and biology and medical area. The findings of this study depict the domain of digital libraries as a variety of subject areas since digital library domain is characterized with both research and practices.
