Abstract

In order to effectively provide science, technology, engineering, and medicine (STEM) information, an analysis of information users' needs and understanding of information usage behavior must be preceded. Rapid changes and developments in information and communication technologies and the environment have greatly influenced the user's information usage environment. Based on the changes and characteristics of users' information use and their information needs analysis, active design and improvement of scientific and technical information service system is needed. For this study, a total of 816 participants participated: 204 people in four main contents (papers, reports, trends, and patents) through significant allocation extraction for STEM information users. A survey was conducted to grasp the status of the use of science and technology information using quantitative methods through online surveys for users of each content (papers, reports, trends, patents). Based on the analysis results, the implications for the improvement of STEM field information system were drawn.

과학기술(STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Medicine) 정보를 효과적으로 제공하기 위해서는 정보이용자의 정보요구 분석 및 정보이용 행태에 대한 이해가 선행되어야 한다. 정보통신 기술과 환경의 급격한 변화와 발전으로 이용자의 정보이용 환경에도 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 이용자의 정보이용 변화와 특성, 이들의 정보요구 분석을 토대로 적극적인 과학기술정보서비스시스템의 설계 및 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구를 위하여 과학기술정보 이용자를 대상으로 유의할당추출을 통해 4개의 주요 콘텐츠별 (논문, 보고서, 동향, 특허)로 204명씩, 총 816이 참여하였다. 각 콘텐츠별(논문, 보고서, 동향, 특허) 이용자를 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 통한 정량적 방법을 활용하여 과학기술정보 이용 실태 파악을 위한 조사를 실시하였다. 분석 결과를 토대로 STEM 분야 정보시스템 개선사항을 위한 시사점을 도출하였다.
