Abstract

Library website is medium for connecting library information resources and users. However, searching and accessing methods to information resources in library websites and retrieval systems are mostly designed for users. So, the disabled users have difficulty accessing and using library information resources through library websites. Therefore, the author carried on current status study and analysis on the retrieval system of the national and public library websites in Korea. And then, the author proposes improvement plan in order to enhance satisfaction with information needs of disabled users and to use a basic study for construction of retrieval system of library websites for disabled users.

도서관 웹사이트는 도서관 정보자원과 이용자를 연결해주는 수단이자 매개체이다. 그러나, 기존의 도서관 웹사이트와 검색시스템은 정보자원에의 검색방식 및 접근방법이 대부분 비장애인 이용자를 대상으로 설계되어, 장애인 이용자는 도서관 웹사이트를 통한 도서관 정보자원에의 접근과 이용에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이와 같은 도서관서비스는 장애인 이용자에게 도서관 웹사이트 및 정보자원에의 접근성을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용되기 때문에, 장애인 이용자의 도서관 정보자원에의 접근성을 향상시키기 위해서는 도서관 웹사이트에의 접근 편의성과 검색 용이성, 정보자원의 제공 충분성 등이 제공되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 장애인 이용자의 정보요구에 대한 만족도를 높이고, 도서관 웹사이트의 접근성과 검색 용이성 등을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안이자 차후 장애인을 위한 도서관 웹사이트의 검색시스템을 구축하는 데 필요한 토대연구로, 우리나라의 국 공립 도서관 웹사이트의 검색시스템에 대해 현황조사 및 분석을 실시한다. 그리고 조사결과를 바탕으로 개선방안을 간단하게 나열한다.
