Abstract

This paper aims to find out the kinds of sub-topics that were researched in relation to Information Literacy (IL). The text mining method was applied to the articles with information literacy' in the fields of the descriptor, title and in the LISA Database. Also, out of 214 journals that published these articles, those with the top ten highest frequencies were listed and analyzed. Research results show that 908 articles on information literacy were published in 214 journals and User training' and Students' were major descriptors in the sub-topic area of information literacy. Also, Reference Services Review and The Journal of Academic Librarianship are two key journals in IL research as they have the highest frequency of related articles and have shown increasing trends.

본 논문은 정보활용능력과 관련된 연구의 세부 주제영역을 분석해내고자 하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 LISA 데이터베이스에서 디스크립터, 표제 그리고 초록에 information literacy'가 포함된 논문들을 대상으로 텍스트마이닝 기법을 적용하였다. 분석 대상이 된 논문들은 총 908건이었고, 이 논문들을 게재한 학술지는 총 214개였는데, 이 중 상위 10개 고빈도 학술지를 대상으로 한 분석도 수행하였다. 연구결과 information literacy' 연구영역의 하위 주제 영역의 주요 주제어들은 User training'과 Students'였다. 또한 information literacy' 주제영역과 가장 밀접한 학술지는 Reference Services Review와 The Journal of Academic Librarianship으로 나타났다.
