Abstract

This research begins from the recognition that the Korean library OPACs have failed in reflecting the information needs of children, and especially the behavioral aspects of digital kids. Maintaining such problem recognition, this research examines the weak points and limits of Korean OPACs for digital kids, and explores the possible solutions. In details, identified at the first hand is digital kids' library use behavior, in particular, their search behavior of library OPACs. Also discussed is on the development of a new generation OPAC for digital kids. The data were collected from a survey with 545 elementary school students, in-depth interviews with 8 carefully selected students among the survey participants, and a direct observation on the children's information search process in 6 libraries.

이 연구는 국내 도서관계에서 현재 사용하고 있는 OPAC이 어린이의 보편적 특성은 물론이고 디지털 키즈(digital kids)의 정보행태를 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있다는 문제의식에서 출발하였다. 이러한 문제의식을 유지하면서 이 연구에서는 철저히 어린이의 관점에서 현행 OPAC의 한계점을 도출하고 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 특히 디지털 키즈가 도서관에서 자료를 탐색하는 과정과 OPAC을 검색하는 과정에서 드러내 보이는 행태적 특징을 세밀하게 관찰하면서, 현행 OPAC의 한계점을 찾아내고 새로운 OPAC의 개발을 제안하였다. 논의에 필요한 데이터는 초등학교 4-6학년 545명을 대상으로 한 설문조사, 설문조사 참여자들 중에서 선정한 8명과의 심층면담, 그리고 6개 도서관에서 진행했던 어린이들의 탐색과정에 대한 참여관찰 등을 통해 수집하였다.
