Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a mix of the real world that is enhanced by virtual objects from computer-generated information. AR is currently used in a variety of information systems and library services. AR technologies are also being developed for today’s children, who are digital natives and are exposed to various technologies even earlier. To assist librarians who need to accurately understand users’ information needs and perceptions of the technology being used in their libraries, we conducted a study of AR perceptions among children. We conducted two online co-design sessions using “Would you rather?”, a co-design technique that facilitates research into children’s opinions. Through the co-design sessions, we found that children were psychologically wary about AR technology due to a lack of trust in the technology, and realism had a significant impact on these judgments. We also identified that children considered AR technology environments as an extension of the real world. Their real-world values directly influenced their perceptions of AR. This research provides insights into the wariness that libraries need to be aware of when developing AR content for children in the future, and how libraries can use AR as an educational tool.

본 연구는 정보광장 담당 사서를 대상으로 정보광장 의미와 목적, 새로운 도서관 환경에서의 역할, 도서관의 본질과 발전 방향, 그리고 정보광장 이용행태에 대한 인식을 조사하였다. 총 28명을 인터뷰한 결과 정보광장에 대한 사서의 인식은 1) 정보광장의 전통적인 학술 연구 기능만을 강조하여 이를 학술연구 시설로만 이해하는 유형, 2) 정보광장을 학술연구를 위한 물리적 공간으로 이해하면서 아울러 문화융복합적 기능을 강조하는 유형, 3) 정보광장을 창조적 기능이 강조된 학술문화 복합시설로 이해하는 유형의 3가지로 대별되었다. 이는 정보광장 이용자 이용행태에 대한 평가와 도서관의 발전 방향에 대한 인식과 밀접히 연관되어 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

This study examined librarians’ perceptions of Information Commons(I.C.), user’s information seeking behaviors, and new role of library in the digital ages. Interviews with 28 librarians found that the perceptions of the librarians were widely differed depending on their understandings of the nature of the space. The interview results were divided into three different categories of librarians: the librarians; 1) understanding library as a place only with academic functions, 2) library as academic place along with multi-cultural functions, and 3) library as open learning space with focus on creativity and discovery of users. The findings also indicated that all these perceptions are closely related to understanding of the role of library and its future development.

이용자들은 도서관을 이용하기 위해 개인정보를 도서관에 제공해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이용자들을 대상으로 도서관 이용자 프라이버시에 대한 인식을 조사하고 프라이버시 관련 교육을 제공한 후 교육효과를 측정하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 본인 프라이버시에 대한 관심도, 도서관 이용자 프라이버시 문제의 심각성, 프라이버시 침해 가능한 도서관 데이터요소 등에서 교육 후 인식변화가 크게 일어났다. 둘째, 이용자들은 현재 도서관에서 수집하고 있는 이용자에 대한 서비스 기록이 이용자 프라이버시를 어느 정도 침해할 것이라고 생각하고 있는지에 대해 25개 항목 모두에서 교육 후 큰 인식 변화가 있었다. 셋째, 도서관 이용자 프라이버시 보호를 위해 도서관 및 사서가 수행해야 할 노력에 대해 15개의 문항 모두 교육 후 평균값이 유의하게 올라갔음을 알 수 있었다. 넷째, 도서관 이용자는 도서관 기록의 열람 및 취급에 있어 정당한 절차가 필요하다고 인식하게 되었으며 이를 위한 절차의 필요성에 공감하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 다섯째, 도서관 기록이 유출되었을 경우 이용자가 느끼는 심각성은 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

Library users must provide their personal information to libraries. This study surveyed these library users’ perception of privacy and the effect of the education after providing library user privacy education. As a result, first, it was found that after education, users were more interested in their privacy, rated the problem of library user privacy as more severe, and rated library user data collection as more likely to be considered privacy invasion. Second, we investigated users’ perception of how much user service records being collected in libraries violate users’ privacy, which showed a great perception change in 25 questions after the education. Third, in the survey about library and librarians’ efforts for protecting library user privacy, it was found that all 15 questions were rated as significantly more important after education. Fourth, library users have recognized that is necessary to process and handle the library record and are more sympathetic to the need for this procedure. Fifth, library users felt the possibility of a library record leak was a very serious threat.

Abstract

As non-face-to-face elements became important due to COVID-19, the metaverse received social attention, and the MZ generation became the main users of public libraries. In light of this trend, it is necessary to introduce services for the MZ generation, the main users of public libraries, and to provide services tailored to social development. Therefore, this study investigated the perception of the metaverse through questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews, centered on the MZ generation, and then proposed a method for applying the metaverse to users in public libraries. According to the results of the study, the direction for the introduction of the metaverse in public libraries was suggested. First, it is necessary to provide basic education and information about the metaverse. Second, it is necessary to provide services that take advantage of the community based on communication. Third, a program that is not constrained by time and space should be provided. Fourth, services by librarians should be provided by enhancing the librarians’ expertise on the metaverse. Fifth, services for generation M must be provided.

Abstract

As resource sharing becomes more active and complicated in academic libraries, a better understanding of how librarians-a key stakeholder-view the current level of resource sharing is needed. Using survey method, this study collected data regarding the perception of 78 librarians with regard to interlibrary loan, document delivery, union catalog construction, shared acquisition, and community building. Overall, the respondents evaluated well-established forms of resource sharing(interlibrary loan, document delivery, and union catalog construction) more positively than less-well developed ones(shared acquisition and community building). Correlation analysis between perception of library/individual characteristics was conducted. Barriers to each of the five areas of resource sharing are also identified in the study.

Abstract

The study examines two aspects that relate to undergraduates’ selection and use of information sources for their academic assignments: (1) sources perceived useful vs. sources frequently used, and (2) source characteristics considered important as selection criteria vs. selection criteria used as reflected in characteristics of frequently used sources. A survey of 251 undergraduate students attempted to address the gaps between what students think they should do and what they actually do with regard to source selection. Characteristics of frequently used sources were analyzed to find out the criteria used for source selection. Friends/family were among the frequently used sources although they were not perceived as useful. Unlike other sources suffering gaps between the perceived usefulness and the use behavior, Web sources were the ones not only perceived most useful but also used most frequently. When the important selection criteria were compared with the characteristic of sources used often, students did not seem to actually use the selection criteria they thought important. While students considered some characteristics related to information quality (e.g., accuracy, comprehensiveness) as important criteria for source selection, the actual criteria they applied for choosing information sources could be described as ‘convenient’ or ‘accessible’ (e.g., efficient/time saving, easy to use, familiar, accessible). Based on the findings, suggestions were made to help bridge such gaps through information literacy programs and information systems design.

Abstract

This exploratory study describes the social bookmarking perceptions and behaviors of students in university courses. Although an emerging discussion regarding the value of social bookmarking tools exists, how users adopt tools in practice is not well known. Students were asked to utilize the bookmarking tool del.icio.us to store information relating to course projects. They were also asked to comment how they employed del.icio.us for course projects. The study analyzed student perceptions and behaviors when using social bookmarking tools for university coursework. The study noted that the use of tags, notes, and networking within these social bookmarking tools remained less active and social bookmarking services in Web 2.0 as shared collaboration, shared communities, and vertical search were less present. Utilizing social bookmarking tools to facilitate personal information management includes the activities of information use, information re-use, and mobility.
