Abstract

During the last decade, increasing use of technology that facilitates information access has changed academic library services. The emergence of information commons is one of the key changes. Most previous studies on information commons have focused on its conception and role. Whereas, considering information commons as a spatial service, this study aims to examine the influence of information commons on user traffic patterns within the library and perception of the library. As the information commons grew into main library service space and facility, it is necessary to explore what influences information commons have on the behavior and recognition of users. Two methods were used. First, observation method was used to record traffic pattern and user behavior. Second, twenty undergraduates and twelve graduates were interviewed regarding the use and recognition of the information commons and the library. The results of the study show that the traffic patterns were different between undergraduate students and graduate students; the location and structure of facilities influences their movement and behaviors; and the recognition of information commons tends to affect the perception of the entire library. The findings may help librarians improve and plan for library spaces to meet user demands.

자녀에게 부모의 관심과 돌봄은 성장하는 과정에서 매우 중요한 요건이지만 부모도 양육이 매우 생소하고 어려운 일이다. 양육과정에서 부모는 양육과 관련된 끊임없는 정보요구가 발생하며 이를 해결하기 위하여 개인 수준에서 학부모 간 모임이나 관계를 통해 정보를 획득하고자 노력하는데 이 과정에서 갈등 및 스트레스를 받는 경우가 종종 발생한다. 이에 본 연구는 학부모 간 소셜네트워크의 특성을 탐색하고 이러한 소셜네트워크 특성이 정보공유의도 및 정보공유만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 선행 연구를 조사하여 설문지를 개발하였으며 어린이집 한 곳을 선정하여 학부모를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 수집된 설문데이터는 소셜네트워크분석(SNA: social network analysis) 방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 소셜네트워크 특성과 정보공유의도, 정보공유만족도간 관계는 상관관계를 가지지만 학부모 소셜네트워크의 특성과 정보공유의도, 정보공유만족도의 영향관계는 성립되지 않았으며, 도움을 주고자 하는 것보다 받고자 하는 의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 학부모들의 정보요구 충족을 위한 정책 지원 방안과 지역 공공도서관의 역할 재고의 필요성을 제시하였다.

Abstract

Parents’ interest and care are very important for their children in the process of growing up, but parenting is also very unfamiliar and difficult for themselves. Parents constantly need information related to parenting, and in order to solve this problem, they try to obtain information through informal meetings or social relationships among parents at an individual level, which often brings up conflicts and stresses. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of social networks among parents and to understand the influence of the network characteristics on information-sharing intention and information-sharing satisfaction. To this end, a survey questionnaire was developed based on previous studies and was administered among parents whose children are in a daycare center. Then, the data was analyzed using social network analysis (SNA) method. Findings indicate that the correlation among the social networks, the information -sharing intention, and the information-sharing satisfaction was significant, but the influence of the social networks on the information-sharing intention, and the information-sharing satisfaction was not established. It was also found that the intention to receive help was higher than the desire to help others. Policy suggestions to meet parents’ information needs and the need to reconsider the role of local public libraries were presented.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify the usefulness of Weblog genre analysis in knowledge creation within an organization where communications are occurred frequently among the employees with information and communication technologies (ICTs). Knowledge creation is essential to achieve competitive advantage in today’s knowledge-oriented working environments. There has been huge investment on knowledge management systems to achieve such advantages. It is, however, widely recognized that distributed knowledge management systems often fail due to the different social contexts across the sub-organizations where the local information systems are deployed. It is important to coordinate such social gaps across the sub-organizations to achieve better advantages. Given that Weblogs users often feel a shared social norm, Weblogs play a positive role of narrowing the social gaps. This paper argues that the genre analysis of Weblogs could provide important clues to narrow the social gaps existed across the sub-organizations within an organization. Hence, such taxonomical practice may be a solution for the high rate of failure in knowledge management system implementations in an organization. This paper uses the theory of organizational knowledge creation (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995) and social construction of technology (SCOT) approach (Bijker, 1995) to compare the socialized with the non-socialized integration of distributed information systems. The findings of this research provide a useful framework for better implementing knowledge management practices especially in distributed working environments.

인적 네트워크는 지식공유의 중요한 창구로서 암묵적 지식을 비롯한 다양한 정보문제에 주요한 해결 수단이 될 수 있다. 특히 조직에서 1인으로 구성된 학교도서관의 사서교사(또는 사서)의 경우, 업무를 위한 인적 네트워크는 조직 내부 구성원보다는 동일 직무를 담당하는 조직 외부인과의 관계가 효과적일 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 1인 사서교사의 업무 관련 인적 네트워크 특성을 탐색하고 이러한 네트워크 특성과 직무 만족 및 역할 모호성 해소와의 관계성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 서울시 지역 내 사서교사 네트워크 협의회 1곳을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 수집된 설문데이터는 소셜네트워크분석(SNA: social network analysis) 방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 사서교사의 인적 네트워크는 네트워크 협의회 내 대표 교 이력의 사서교사를 중심으로 업무 도움 관계가 활발하였으며, 저 경력의 초임 교사에게는 업무 도움을 요청할 수 있는 대상이 적은 특징이 확인되었다. 또한 개인의 인적 네트워크 특성은 직무 만족과 역할 모호성 해소에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 1인 사서교사의 업무 관련 정보문제 해결을 위한 사서교사 간 협력 및 네트워크의 활성화 방안의 필요성을 제안하였다.

Abstract

Human networks can be an important means of solving various information problems including tacit knowledge, as an essential channel of knowledge sharing. Particularly, in the case of a teacher librarian(or librarian) of a school library composed of one person in the organization, the human networks for work can be more effective with people outside the organization who are in charge of the same duties than with members inside the organization. Thus, this study aims at exploring the characteristics of the personal networks related to the work of teacher librarians and understanding the effect of these network characteristics on job satisfaction and role ambiguity resolution. A survey was conducted on one of the teacher librarian associations in Seoul, and the collected data were analyzed using social network analysis(SNA) method. As a result, it was found that personal networking of teacher librarians is active in experienced teacher librarians, while those with shorter career have fewer channels of help-seeking. Also, the characteristics of personal networking do not affect job satisfaction and the resolution of role ambiguity. Based on these results, this study proposes the expansion of collaborating and networking among teacher librarians to solve information problems in a single-person workplace.

최근 자기주도적 학습, 평생교육이 강조되면서 교육과정에서 학교도서관의 중요성이 부각됨에 따라 학교도서관의 구조적, 제도적, 운영적 관점에서의 연구들이 주로 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 학교도서관이 자율성 기반의 자기주도적 교육 운영에 핵심적인 역할을 수행한다는 점을 고려하면 학교도서관 이용자의 자율적 내적동기와 같은 미시적인 주제에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 자기결정성 이론을 기반으로 학교도서관 이용 동기에는 어떠한 유형이 더 중요한지, 학교도서관 이용 동기가 서비스 품질에 미치는 영향은 어떠한지에 대해 고찰하였다. 또한 학교도서관 이용 동기와 서비스 품질 인식이 도서관 이용자의 학년에 따라 어떻게 달라지는가에 대해서도 알아보았다. 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 통한 예비 연구를 기반으로 서울에 소재한 4개의 고등학교와 2개의 중학교 학생 588명을 대상으로 학교도서관 이용 동기가 도서관 서비스 품질 인식에 미치는 영향에 대해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 서비스 품질, 그리고 서비스 품질 요소 중 서비스 감성, 정보제어, 도서관 장소를 종속 변수로 각각 설정하였을 때, 네 가지 경우 모두 내재적 동기요인이 외재적 동기요인보다 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 중학생과 고등학생 집단을 각각 별도의 대상으로 설정하였을 때에도 두 집단 모두 내재적 동기가 높을수록 서비스 품질을 더 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 자기결정성 이론을 학교도서관 서비스에 적용하였다는 점, 이론을 토대로 구분한 동기 유형의 영향력을 측정하였다는 점, 그리고 학교도서관 서비스 향상을 위해 미시적 요인에 초점을 맞추었다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.

Abstract

Recently, the emphasis on self-directed learning and lifelong education is increasing the importance of school libraries in the curriculum. Accordingly, various studies have been conducted mainly from a structural, institutional and operational point of view. However, more research is necessary on the micro topics such as school library users’ autonomous intrinsic motivations in the sense that school libraries play key roles in autonomy-based self-directed education. This study aims at finding out what types of school library use motivations are more important and the degree to which the use motivations affect the school library service quality based on the self-determination theory. In addition, this study examines how the use motivations and the perceived service quality vary depending on the school grade of the library users. Based on a focus-group-interview pilot study, a questionnaire survey was administered on the effects of school library motivations on perceived library service quality to 588 students from 5 high schools and 2 middle schools in Seoul. When the service quality and its components, service affect, information control, and library as place were set as dependent variables, in all these four cases, intrinsic motivations were more significant than extrinsic motivations. In addition, when middle school students and high school students were selected as separate analysis target groups, the results of both analyses show that the higher the intrinsic motivations were, the higher the perceived service quality was. The contribution of this study is that it applies the self-determination theory to school library service, measures the influence of motivation type based on the theoretical basis, and focuses on micro aspects to improve school library services.
