The findings showed the important relationships between expectations of the retirement and two constructs (personal information environment and information-seeking attitudes). This study can be used as a strategic implication for library practitioners to develop their library management process in accordance to the potential and powerful evolving user group in a future aged society.

본 연구는 도시와 농어촌 각 청소년 집단의 정보 요구를 충족시키는 학교도서관 정보 서비스 방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 두 청소년 집단의 일상 정보 행태를 비교하였다. 특히, 두 청소년 집단의 일상에서의 정보 추구 행태뿐만 아니라 정보의 장의 종류와 정보의 장 형성을 방해하는 요인도 함께 비교하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 정보 활용 일지와 반구조적 심층 인터뷰를 이용하여 두 청소년 집단의 일상 정보 행태의 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 정보 서비스 방안들은 추후에 도시와 농어촌의 학교도서관에서 정보 서비스를 기획하는데 활용될 것이라 기대된다.

Abstract

This study compared the everyday-life information behaviors of urban and rural adolescents to suggest ways that school library information services can better meet the information needs of each of these groups. It focused its comparison not only on the everyday-life information-seeking behaviors but also on kinds of information grounds and barriers forming information grounds. Two qualitative methods, written activity logs and semi-structured in-depth interviews, were used to examine everyday-life information behaviors of adolescents. It is expected that the proposed strategies will be used in planning actual school library information services for urban or rural youths.
