Criteria for evaluating digital libraries have been suggested in prior studies, but limited research has been done to understand users' perceptions of evaluation criteria. This study investigates users' opinions of the importance of digital library evaluation criteria. Thirty user participants, including 10 faculty members and 20 students, were recruited from five universities across the United States. They were asked to rate the importance of evaluation criteria in eight dimensions (e.g. collections, information organization, context, etc.). The results demonstrate that users care about evaluation criteria related to the use and quality of collection and services rather than the operation of digital libraries. The findings of this study are relevant to the development of user-centered digital libraries and associated evaluation frameworks through the incorporation of unique users' needs and preferences.

P2P 파일공유는 1999년 처음 등장한 이래 저작권 침해로 디지털 콘텐츠 시장을 파괴하는 '해적'으로 간주 되어왔다. 하지만 최근 들어 P2P 시장의 산업적 가능성을 새롭게 주목하는 움직임이 나타나고 있다. 아울러 학계에서는 P2P의 경제적 영향력을 공급자 편향의 시각이 아닌 소비자 측면을 포함한 균형적 관점으로 바라보기 시작했다. 본 연구 역시 균형적 관점에서 P2P를 바라보려는 접근법의 일환으로, P2P 영화파일 공유 이용자들의 영화소비패턴을 실증적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 실제 P2P 영화파일 공유 이용자들에 대한 설문결과, 이용자들은 단일한 영화소비성향을 가지고 있지 않았으며 다운로드와 극장 관람빈도가 모두 높은 이른바 '얼리어답터'형과 다운로드를 극장관람의 대체재로 여기는 소위 '해적'형이 공존하고 있었다. 이 중 그간 산업계에서 우려하던 해적형의 비율은 10% 정도로 낮았고, 대부분의 P2P 이용자들은 오히려 일반 극장 관람객보다 더 적극적으로 극장소비를 하는 사람들로 영화산업에 긍정적인 기여를 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 소비자 분석결과는 향후 본격화되고 있는 P2P 다운로드 유료화 시장에 대한 전망을 밝게 하는 것으로, 현재 유료화에 있어 가장 중시해야 할 것은 불법 무료 다운로드에 대한 경계가 아니라, 소비자 편의적인 시스템의 개발임을 시사한다.

The main purpose of this study is to search for variables that influence the perception of news of YouTube current affairs and political channel users. Existing studies have focused on providing normative criticism by examining the public opinion influence of YouTube channels, which play a role similar to the media, in terms of political polarization, fake news, and confirmation bias. However, this study attempts to examine the changes and meanings of users' perception of news with the advent of YouTube. To this end, an online survey was conducted for users with experience in using YouTube's current affairs and political channels. As a result of the study, it was found that the news perception of YouTube current affairs and political channel users was mixed with the perception of news from the perspective of professional journalism and the perception of newly added news in the digital environment. Based on these results, the researcher examined the implications of the professional news media's response direction to the platform environment.

The purpose of this study is to focus on developing the performance indicators for the distribution of scholarly information based on BSC and to analyze the importance of the performance indicators against the specialists. From the case studies on performance indicators both at home and abroad four viewpoints(information resource, information service, user, and economy) were derived. In addition. the core success factors(CSF) and key performance indicators(KPI) were extracted from the viewpoints. Four viewpoints are composed of 12 CSF items and 31 KPI items. In order to analyze the weight of the performance indicators. questions were thrown to the specialists in universities and research institutes. For the method of analysis, analytic hierarchy process(AHP) was adopted. As a result, the analysis showed that the user viewpoint, information service viewpoint, information resource viewpoint and economic viewpoint are in the order of their importance.

This study was started on the premise that it was necessary to analyze the users and their needs of the national bibliography in order to develop a new national bibliographic service strategy. Based on this premise, the main purpose of this study is to analyze the users' situation and needs on the Korean national bibliography, and to establish a new service strategy that reflects the user's perspective. In addition, it has a secondary purpose to find the basis for justifying the value and persistence of the national bibliography from user. To this end, first, identified the main user groups of national bibliography through literature and case studies. The data were collected from a interview with 51 people from 4 groups (librarian, researcher, publishing distributor, end user) that are expected to use national bibliography. As a result of the interview, it was possible to confirm very low awareness and utilization of the national bibliography. In addition, the interview results revealed that there is a need for improvement in terms of the method of operating the national bibliography, the content to be provided, and service.

웹을 기반으로 한 정보서비스는 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 2013년부터는 모든 법인이 웹 접근성을 준수해야 한다. 이러한 관점에서 전문도서관은 홈페이지를 통해 소속 구성원뿐만 아니라 외부 이용자에게도 홈페이지에서 제공하는 모든 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 보장해야한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 전문도서관 홈페이지의 외부 이용자 웹 접근성 수준의 실태를 조사하고 향후 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

복잡한 학술 연구에서 과학 정보의 이용 목적은 다양할 것이다. 이러한 이용 목적은 정보검색의 관점에서 바라본 이용자의 행동과 많은 연관을 가질 것이며 그러한 이용자의 행동을 이해하는데 많은 도움을 줄 것이다. 만약 이용 목적을 미리 파악할 수 있다면 이것은 이용자의 문제의 한 부분으로서 다루어질 수 있을 것이다. 정보의 다른 이용 목적은 다른 정보검색 과정을 필요로 할 수 있기 때문에 이러한 목적은 효과적인 정보검색을 위해 중요한 의미를 지닐 수 있다. 이 연구를 통하여 12개의 과학 정보의 이용 목적과 이들의 구조가 발견되었다.

The purpose of this research is to increase an understanding of social media users and construct a strategic, administrative foundation to measure the efficiency of communicating with them by validly classifying components of social media users' value expectation(VE). Reviewing prior research, in-depth interviews as qualitative research, pre-test and main survey as quantitative research are conducted. The result of quantitative research shows that social media users' VE was categorized in terms of utilitarian, hedonic, relational, self-evident, ethical, system functional, participative, self-ostentatious, and self-hiding perspectives. The significance of this study is as follows: 1) It views communication, psychology, marketing, media and etc. related fields from an integrated perspective. 2) It segments and categorizes social media users' VE from a practical perspective. 3) It contributes to constructing a foundation to predict, confirm, and manage social media users' attitudes from an administrative perspective. Thus, this research will aid future research on social media users' attitude using the constructed VE components as variables and future research that uses this as a basis to find media effects.

The assessment of perceived naturalness aims to elucidate the human perception and explain the interaction between natural environments and humans. The perception of ecological assets that exhibit distinct characteristics within a specific region can manifest in various representations. Based on the users' perceptions and interviews regarding ecological assets, this study assessed the perceived naturalness from a cultural services perspective. Specifically, the discussions on Ansan City's ecological assets and revolved around the inherent value of naturalness in dimensions, such as the necessity for conservation and the sustainable development of ecological assets, the perception of ecosystem benefits, the representativeness as a local asset, and usability. Subsequently, the Q method was employed to present 25 representative ecological assets to 25 users. As a result, user groups with different value systems for each question were identified, and hypothetical personas for cultural service enjoyment were distinguished. The most representative persona among the 25 users was identified as AWP (a type that values the conservation of aquatic ecosystems, prefers waterfront landscapes, and enjoys walking). Since perceived naturalness is conceptually similar to the "benefits perceived by users" in evaluating ecosystem services, it can provide more practical evaluation criteria for cultural services.
