본 연구는 도서관에서 제공하는 적극적 정보제공 서비스로서의 테마전시 이용행태를 조사하고, 그 효과로서 이용자의 도서관 이용행태 변화와 인식변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 테마전시를 제공하는 3개 도서관의 7명의 사서와 8명의 이용자 심층인터뷰를 통해 연구 질문 및 설문지를 개발하고, 232명의 이용자를 대상으로 설문 및 통계분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 테마전시 서비스가 이용자들의 다양한 자료이용을 도울 뿐 아니라, 사서에 대한 인식 및 도서관 평가에 긍정적인 변화를 주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 토대로 각 도서관의 환경과 이용자층에 맞춰 테마전시를 적극적으로 수행할 것을 제안하였다.

Abstract

We investigated the user behavior of the theme display provided by the public libraries as an active information service. Specifically, we wanted to study the library patrons’ library use behavior and perception. There were in-depth interviews with seven librarians and eight patrons to develop a set of research questions and the questionnaire. We conducted the survey with 232 patrons then the statistical analysis. The analysis result revealed that the theme display helped the patrons’ wider use of the library resources and also positively affected patrons’ perception on the librarians as well as the evaluation of the library services. Based on the findings, we recommended the active incorporation of the theme display within the limitation of the libraries’ facility and patrons’ interests.

본 연구의 목적은 확장된 계획행동이론을 적용하여 만화도서관을 방문하는 이용자들의 행동의도를 파악하는데 있다. 이를 위해 주관적 규범, 태도, 행동통제의 계획행동이론 기본변수에 만화에 대한 호감도, 서비스품질 등의 확장변수를 추가하여 변수의 영향을 증명하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 만화도서관을 재이용하고자 하는 이용자의 행동의도에 태도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있으며, 나머지 요인들은 주관적 규범, 서비스품질, 지각된 행동통제의 순서대로 나타났다. 의외로 만화호감도의 경우 행동의도에 직접적 영향이 없었지만 태도, 주관적 규범, 지각된 행동통제를 매개하여 간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 만화호감도와 서비스품질의 경우 기존변수인 태도, 주관적 규범, 지각된 행동통제에 대해 설명력을 보이고 있어 확장변수로써 행동의도에 대한 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine comics library user’s behavioral intention using the extended theory of planned behavior. In order to verify the effects of variables, such extended variables as comics likeability and service factor were added to such basic variables of the theory of planned behavior as subjective norm, attitude and behavioral control. Study findings are as follows: user’s attitude had the biggest effects on their behavioral intention of reuse of Comics Library, and it was followed by subjective norm, service quality and perceived behavioral control, in order. Comics likeability exceptionally had no direct effects on behavioral intention, but it had indirect effects via the mediation of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control. And second, comics likeability and service quality had power of explanation for such basic variables as attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control, respectively, thus verifying their effects on behavioral intention as extended variables.

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.

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.

변호사의 정보추구행태연구는 전문가 정보추구행태 연구의 하나로서 연구되어왔다. Leckie 등의 모델과 같은 선행 연구들에서 분석되었던 변호사의 정보추구행태가 오늘날 한국 변호사에도 적용될 수 있는가를 연구 질문으로, 본 연구는 변호사의 정보추구행태를 분석하기 위하여 21명의 변호사를 대상으로 설문조사과 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 특히 변호사의 경험(경력)과 소속 로펌규모 별로 조사대상을 선정하여 정보추구행태의 특성을 파악하였다. 그 결과 Leckie 등의 모델은 오늘날 한국 변호사에도 실제적으로 적용가능하며, 또한 선행 연구에서 파악되었던 변수(변호사 경력, 로펌규모 등) 역시 여전히 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 오늘날 변호사들은 비공식커뮤니케이션을 통한 비공식 정보보다는 공식 채널을 통한 정보추구를 보다 선호하며, 전자형태 정보를 더 많이 이용하는 것으로도 분석됨으로써 기존 선행 연구와는 상이한 정보추구행태를 보여주었다. 나아가 개별 인터뷰를 통해서는 첫 번째 온라인 검색이 실패한 경우에 동료나 선후배를 통한 비공식 커뮤니케이션 방식을 보다 적극적으로 활용하고 있다는 점도 파악할 수 있었다.

Abstract

The prior studies on the practical lawyer’s information seeking behaviors, including Leckie et al. (1996) model showed that role of the work and nature of the work in attorney’s practices had an significant influence on the attorney’s information seeking behaviors. This study now asks if these prior analyses can be applicable to attorneys’ practices nowadays. This study performed surveys and interviews with 21 practical attorneys in korea who were grouped by their experience period and the size of law firms. This study concludes that role of the work in Leckie et al. model still affects the attorneys’ information seeking behaviors today and moreover, the attorney’s experience and the size of law firms as variables also have made an impact on attorney’s behaviors so far. By the way, this study further finds that the attorneys prefer the digital information in online database and formal information like statutes or case laws. These results are definitely different from them of the prior studies. In addition, this study suggests that the behavior such as meaningful using of the informal information in difficulties with improper information can be kinds of the attorney’s information seeking behaviors.

Abstract

A large and reliable citation database is necessary to identify and analyze citation behavior of Korean researchers in science and technology. Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) built the Korea Science Citation Database (KSCD), and have provided Korea Science Citation Index (KSCI) and Korea Journal Citation Reports (KJCR) services. In this article, citing behavior of Korean scientists on Korean journals was examined by using the KSCD that covers 459 Korean core journals. This research dealt with (1) statistical numeric information of journals in KSCD, (2) analysis of document types cited, (3) ratio of domestic to international documents cited and ratio of citing different disciplines, (4) analysis on immediacy index, peak time, and half-life of cited documents, and (5) analysis on impact of journals based on KJCR citation indicators. From this research, we could find the immediacy citation rate (average 2.36%), peak-time (average 1.7 years) and half-life (average 5.2 years) of cited journals in Korea. We also found that the average journal self-citation rate is more than 50% in every field. In sum, citing behavior of Korean scientists on Korean journals was comprehensively identified from this research.
