Abstract

Circulation data is a key data set of academic libraries in terms of collection development and service improvement This study aims to identify the characteristics of circulation measures and their feasibility. This study collected the circulation data of 10 colleges in a university and analyzed 4 measures based on the circulation data: circulation frequency, circulation entropy, circulation h-index, and circulation divergence. These measures are to present the circulation topics of each college. This study identified that circulation entropy tends to present general topics which are popular for many colleges, but circulation divergence tends to present specific topics which are preferred by a specific college.

대출데이터는 대학도서관에 축적된 중요한 데이터로서 도서관 장서개발이나 서비스 개선에 활용될 수 있는 중요한 데이터이다. 이 연구는 대출빈도를 기반으로 한 다양한 대출관련지수를 비교분석하여 지수별 특성을 파악한 후 도서관 운영에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 평가하고자 하였다. A 대학도서관의 10개 단과대학별 대출데이터를 대상으로 비교분석한 지수는 대출빈도, 대출엔트로피, 대출 h-지수, 대출주제차별지수 등 총 4개의 지수이다. 이 지수들을 적용하여 단과대학별 대출현황을 분석하였고 단과대학별로 나타나는 대출주제의 특성을 표하는 각 지수의 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 대출 엔트로피는 여러 대학이 공통으로 선호하는 주제를 표현하는 성향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 대출주제차별지수는 특정대학에서만 특화되어 대출되는 주제를 표현하는 성향이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
