본 연구는 청소년의 가상 정보 공간에서의 일상적인 활동을 위한 정보 이용 행태에 관해 살펴보았다. 기존의 물리적 정보 공간의 개념을 가상 정보 공간으로 확장하였고, 청소년 시기의 특징을 반영하여 다양한 일상적인 활동과 또래집단을 고려하였다. 이를 위하여 서울시 중고등학생을 대상으로 사전 면담 및 설문조사를 실시하였고, 청소년들의 가상 정보 공간과 정보 이용에 대한 양상을 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 학교도서관에서 청소년들을 위한 교육 프로그램 및 서비스 제공 시에 고려할 수 있는 시사점을 제안하였고, 추후 학교도서관에서의 정보 서비스 기획에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Abstract

This study investigates the information use behavior of Korean youths in a virtual information grounds. The concept of a physical information ground is expanded to include virtual spaces. A variety of hobbies and peer groups of Korean youths are considered to determine the characteristics of these youths. The study was formulated and conducted using group interviews for pretest and a survey given to respondents who are junior high and high school students in Seoul. It is expected that the findings and proposals will be used for planning educational programs and information services in school libraries.

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.

본 연구는 도시와 농어촌 각 청소년 집단의 정보 요구를 충족시키는 학교도서관 정보 서비스 방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 두 청소년 집단의 일상 정보 행태를 비교하였다. 특히, 두 청소년 집단의 일상에서의 정보 추구 행태뿐만 아니라 정보의 장의 종류와 정보의 장 형성을 방해하는 요인도 함께 비교하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 정보 활용 일지와 반구조적 심층 인터뷰를 이용하여 두 청소년 집단의 일상 정보 행태의 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 정보 서비스 방안들은 추후에 도시와 농어촌의 학교도서관에서 정보 서비스를 기획하는데 활용될 것이라 기대된다.

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.

본 연구에서는 계획된 행동이론을 적용하여 SNS 이용에 대한 태도, 주관적 규범, 지각된 행동통제가 SNS 이용에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고, SNS 이용이 결속적 네트워크와 교량적 네트워크라는 사회적 네트워크 유형에 각각 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 이들 간의 관계에서 성별에 따른 조절효과를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 SNS의 주 이용계층인 20～30대 이용자들을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 토대로 실증분석을 실시였다. 구조방정식에 의한 가설검증 결과, SNS 이용에 대한 태도와 주관적 규범, 그리고 지각된 행동통제는 SNS 이용에 각각 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 SNS 이용은 결속적 네트워크, 교량적 네트워크에 각각 유의미한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 성별에 따른 조절효과를 분석한 결과, SNS 이용 영향요인과 SNS 이용 간에는 성별에 따른 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났지만, SNS 이용과 사회적 네트워크 유형 간에는 성별에 따른 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 본 연구에서는 SNS 이용과 사회적 네트워크에 관한 이론적․실천적 함의를 제시하였다.

Abstract

The purposes of this study are (1) to examine the relationships among attitude on SNS use, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and SNS use, (2) to analyze effect of SNS use on bonding network and bridging network, (3) to consider moderating effect of the gender on the relationship between SNS use and Social network. We conducted a survey for 20-30’s SNS user. The results of analysis using the Structural Equation Model(SEM) represent that attitude on SNS use, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are significant determinants of the SNS use. SNS use affects bonding network and bridging network. An interesting result was observed that the gender had moderating effect on the relationship between SNS use and social network. Based on these results, we suggest theoretical and practical implications of this 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.
