본 연구는 오늘날 점차 확장되고 있는 스마트폰을 통한 정보서비스에 대한 이용자 인식과 요구를 알아보았으며, 특히 관련 연구나 서비스 제공이 미흡한 공공도서관에 중점을 두었다. 연구를 위해서는 공공도서관 이용자를 대상으로 설문조사와 면접을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 공공도서관 이용자들은 스마트폰을 통해 도서관 정보서비스를 이용하는 것에 대해 긍정적인 인식과 함께 e-Contents 서비스에 대한 높은 기대를 나타냈다. 그러나 이용자들은 스마트폰이 기존 정보서비스의 혁신을 가져오는 것이 아니라 정보서비스에 대한 또 하나의 접근점으로 작용할 것이라고 인식하고 있었다.
