Abstract

This study explores the potential of using a library chatbot to improve the non-face-to-face digital reference services for academic library users by designing and implementing a library chatbot. Through data analysis, user needs and library services were analyzed, and a scenario was designed by selecting an appropriate development method. For user-friendly interaction, the personality of the chatbot and user interface was designed to evaluate its usability. In addition, the accuracy was verified through the response accuracy evaluation and performance evaluation of the chatbot, and the effectiveness of the chatbot was evaluated through a user satisfaction survey. In order to manage the operation and maintain service quality, the chatbot is improved by monitoring user-chatbot conversations and reflecting user feedback. Based on these findings, recommendations for designing and implementing a library chatbot were made to help improve library reference services.

본 연구는 대학도서관 이용자를 대상으로 도서관 챗봇을 설계하고 구현하여 언택트 시대의 새로운 비대면 디지털 참고정보서비스를 모색하고자 했다. 데이터 분석을 통해 이용자 요구 및 도서관 서비스를 분석하고, 적합한 챗봇 개발 방법을 선정하여 시나리오를 설계했다. 이용자 친화적인 상호작용을 위해 챗봇의 퍼스널리티를 설계하고 이용자 인터페이스를 디자인하여 사용성을 평가했다. 또한 챗봇의 응답정확도 평가 및 성능평가를 통해 정확도를 검증하고, 이용자 만족도 조사를 통해 챗봇의 효용성을 평가했다. 챗봇 운영관리 및 서비스 품질 유지를 위해 이용자-챗봇 간의 대화를 주기적으로 모니터링하고, 이용자 피드백을 반영하여 서비스를 개선했다. 챗봇 개발 과정 및 결과를 다각도로 분석하여 도서관 챗봇 설계 및 구현을 위한 구체적인 방안을 제시하고자 했다.
