Abstract

Electronic publishing has influenced, and in some ways changed, information seeking, reading patterns and citation behaviours. This study collected the Cited Half-Lives, the indicator implies the life-span of scholarly journals, from JCR Social Science edition the before and after of the prevalence of electronic journals, and observed if there are some changes in these two periods. The analysis results of eight disciplines show that the average Cited Half-Lives increased in 2007 than in 1994 for seven disciplines except the demography. Especially in the four disciplines of economics, education, finance and sociology, the average Cited Half-Lives increased significantly. This results show that the concentration, researchers cite more recent articles and concentrate their citations on fewer ones, is lightening and the dispersion of citations is actually increasing. With the online availability of articles and journals the old online materials can be often accessed, used and cited more frequently, the more growth potential of Cited Half-Lives are made in a digital environment. Further research needs to investigate if the phenomenon will become more obvious in various disciplines after a few years.

본 연구는 과학기술분야 R&D 라이프사이클 각 단계 세부연구 목표를 달성하는 과정에서 이루어지는 정보행동(정보요구, 정보검색, 정보도구, 정보채널, 정보장애)을 과학기술커뮤니티 환경의 맥락에서 분석하였다. 이 연구는 의미형성이론, 일상생활정보탐색이론, 활동이론에 근거하여 과학기술자를 대상으로 질적 인터뷰연구를 통해 이루어졌으며, 연구결과 과학기술분야 R&D 라이프사이클 5단계는 14개의 세부 정보행동 단계로 이루어짐을 밝혀내었다. 과학기술 R&D 연구 세부단계별로 문제상황 극복을 위한 정보행동 규명은 연구자와 연구환경의 변화를 이해할 뿐만 아니라 향후 도서관 및 정보서비스 기관에서 과학기술 전주기적 정보서비스 전략을 수립하는데 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

Abstract

This study analyzed scientists information behaviors when they engage in solving specific research problems in various situations throughout the entire scientific R&D lifecycle process. In-depth interviews with a total of 24 scientists were conducted in their research laboratories, the scientists’ everyday workplace and the contexts of scientific research. The theoretical and methodological frameworks employed for this study were Dervin’s Sense-making, Savolainen’s Everyday Life Information Seeking, and Engeström's Activity Theory. The findings of this study informed context-specific research and information behaviors of the scientists in the 14 sub stages of the five-stage of R&D lifecycle. Specifically, the study revealed the research objectives and related information behaviors (e.g., information needs, information seeking, information sources and channels, information barriers, etc.) to achieve the objectives at each sub-stage. The study results provided essential information to re-design the information services and strategies that accommodate the scientific R&D lifecycle.

본 연구는 옥천군 생활문화체육센터 도서관 건립 이후 운영 방안을 수립할 필요성을 기반으로 하며, 옥천군 내의 공공도서관 이용자를 대상으로 옥천군 도서관의 기능․역할 및 장서 운영방향, 이용자 서비스 활성화 및 이용현황 조사, 향후 이용 의사 등에 대한 선호도 조사, 희망 서비스에 대한 인식 등을 조사하였다. 인식조사 결과를 기반으로 옥천군민이 도서관에 요구하는 방향성을 파악하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 장서 계획 수립 시 이용자의 요구도를 반영하여 자료 유형은 인쇄자료 및 멀티미디어 자료를 기반으로 하고, 문학, 예술, 역사, 기술과학 등의 주제분야를 우선적으로 고려하여 수집할 필요가 있을 것으로 파악되었다. 둘째, 다양한 정보서비스를 제공하기 위해 전반적인 정보서비스 계획 수립이 필요하며, 이와 함께 이용자 선호도에 따른 다양한 정보서비스 개발과 협력형 서비스 제공이 필요할 것으로 파악되었다. 셋째, 옥천군민들의 프로그램에 대한 요구도가 높은 것을 고려하여 향후 다양한 주제 및 각 연령층에 적합한 프로그램을 지속적으로 확대해야 할 것으로 파악되었다. 넷째, 신규건립 및 공간 개선이 필요하며, 전반적으로 열린 공간에 대한 선호도가 높게 나타났다. 문화공간의 경우 청소년 문화시설, 주민편의시설, 무한상상실, (체험)전시관 등에 대한 선호도가 높게 나타났다.

Abstract

This study was conducted based on the need to establish an operational plan following the establishment of the Okcheon-gun Daily Life Culture and Sports Center Library, and for the users of public libraries in Okcheon-gun, the functions and roles of the Okcheon-gun Library, collection related to operational direction, user service related activation, library usage related status survey, preference for the future use and perception of desired services were surveyed. Based on the results of the perception survey, the direction required by the Okcheon-gun residents for the Library was identified, and the research results are as follows. As a result of the study, first, when establishing a collection plan, the data types ought to be based on the printed materials and the multi-media materials to reflect the needs of the users, and it may also be necessary to collect them in consideration of the subject areas including literature, art, history, and technical sciences. Second, to provide various information services, it would be necessary to establish an overall information service plan, and it was identified that it would be necessary to develop various information services according to the user preferences and provide cooperative services. Third, it was determined that the programs appropriate for the various subjects and age groups should be continuously expanded moving forward in consideration of the larges demand for programs by the residents of Okcheon-gun. Fourth, new constructions and spatial improvements are needed, and the overall preference for open spaces was significant. In the case of cultural space, the preference for youth cultural facilities, convenience facilities for residents, infinite loss of imagination, and the (experiential) exhibition halls turned out to be large.
