Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of e-books usage in small university library and to suggest implications for e-book management policies. To do that, a survey was conducted with students in a local small university, and the valid responses of 259 people were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the preference of paper books (71%) was higher than that of e-books (12%). However, satisfaction with e-books (45.6%) was higher than that of paper books (27.9%) if they had experience using e-books. In addition, satisfaction was highest when using e-books for general reading, and it was found that the use device preferred to use a tablet. Based on the results of this study, we proposed some suggestions; 1) establishment of e-books service policy and promotion plan, 2) use of e-books dedicated devices and development of user-friendly e-books using environment, 3) providing various topics of e-books, 4) formation of an association for joint use of e-books between small library universities.

본 연구의 목적은 소규모 대학도서관의 전자책 이용실태를 조사, 분석하고 이를 통해 소규모 대학도서관의 전자책 관련 정책과 이용에 대한 시사점을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 지방의 한 소규모대학교의 재학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 259명의 유효응답을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 종이책과 전자책의 선호도에서 아직은 전자책의 선호도(12%)보다 종이책의 선호도(71%)가 더 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 전자책을 이용해본 경험이 있는 경우 전자책의 이용 만족도(45.6%)가 종이책의 이용 만족도(27.9%)보다 더 높게 나타났다. 또한, 전자책을 일반독서 용도로 사용할 때 만족도가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 사용 기기는 태블릿을 사용하는 것을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 소규모 대학도서관에서의 전자책서비스 운영 정책 및 홍보 계획의 수립, 이용자에게 친숙한 전자책서비스 이용 환경의 제공, 다양한 주제의 전자책 확보, 전자책 이용 목적에 부합하는 전용 단말기의 제공, 대학 간 전자책 공동 이용 연합체의 구성 등의 시사점을 제안하였다.
