This study aims for the above mentioned. After all, through the analysis of Electronic Question/Answering Function to understand a user's demand under online circumstances, groping for the method to provide an appropriate Archival Information Service is the most important thing. For this, in this study, it researched the users interviews and the research related to users as a precedence study, and the studies having examined the state of demanding information by users through analyzing the e-mail actually. Additionally, by looking over the study of Library and Information Science that is activated in a field of Electronic Question/Answering Function rather than Archival Science, as a matter of fact, the study has come up with the standard for analyzing Electronic Question/Answering Function. And based on the precedence study, the instances for the National Archives from USA, England, Australia and Canada were analyzed, and the chance of activating Archival Information Service were tried to grope for in the study. This study might be one of methodologies in examining the users study that is not activated yet in Archival Science. Therefore, the users study can be carried out in various methods as well as Electronic Archives/Answering Service. This study might be the important information in providing far better Archival Information Services. It is desirable that based on this opportunity, the study related to the various users by examining not only Electronic Archives/Answering Function but also Question/Answering of the users and the Archivists in the filed to the larger extend will be activated for Archival Science.

기록 관리는 기록을 선별하고 수집하여 보존하는 것에서 이를 이용하는 방향으로 발전하고 있지만 여전히 기록관의 존재를 인지하지 못하는 잠재적 이용자가 많다. 따라서 본 연구는 기록관과 이용자의 상호작용을 지원하는 기록정보서비스 챗봇을 개발하였으며, 구체적인 개발 절차와 방법을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구는 적용 대상으로 명지대학교 대학사료실을 선정하고 이용자 요구 및 질의 분석을 진행하였고 챗봇 개발을 위한 논리적 구조 설계를 제안하였다. 이어 IBM Watson Conversation과 카카오톡 메신저를 통해 챗봇을 구축한 뒤, 시험 실행(Pilot run) 과정을 통해 기록정보서비스 챗봇이 이용자와 상호작용하는 모습을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기록정보서비스 챗봇 개발 과정의 경험을 바탕으로 시사점을 제시했다.

We especially select "National Archives of Korea" and "Presidential Archives" as target government archives and collect tweets from 2010 to 15th April 2016. Our study adopts informetric approaches and social media analysis including buzz analysis, time series analysis. We differentiate between the tweet collection posted by government archives themselves and the other collection generated by general users. Furthermore we conduct correlation analysis of tweet and social issues and propose application plan for government archives services in social media environment.

The National Archives of Korea and other archives now provide services through social media such as Facebook or Twitter, and use such platforms to interact with users. To be specific, users communicate with and get information from these archives via the National Sinmoongo, the place for civil petition. Therefore, it is significant to understand the users' needs and the contents of the communication by analyzing the comments and petitions that have appeared in these channels. For this, this study analyzed users' perceptions and information needs shared through social media and the National Sinmoongo of the National Archives of Korea. The social media content analyzed here were posts and comments from the Facebook accounts of the National Archives of Korea, e-Record, the Busan Archives, and the Presidential Archives of Korea. Also, sentences containing the words "National Archives of Korea" and "Presidential Archives of Korea" that have appeared in texts in the National Sinmoongo were analyzed. Based on the analysis results, suggestions that could activate the user-centered archival information services in the archives and records centers were made.

기록물관리기관은 현행 이용자뿐만 아니라 잠재적 이용자에게도 기록물이 효과적으로 이용될 수 있도록 정책과 방안을 수립해야 한다. 효과적인 기록정보의 활용은 국가 정책수립과 행정, 집행에 필요한 정보를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 연구 학술에 필요한 정보를 제공하고, 더 나아가 국민의 알권리를 충족시켜 준다. 따라서 기록물관리기관은 잠재적인 이용자를 개발하여 미래의 지원과 자원을 확보할 수 있는 아웃리치 서비스가 필요하다. 본 연구는 아웃리치 서비스 중의 하나인 출판서비스의 현황과 개선방안을 알아보기 위해 국내외 출판서비스를 비교 분석하였고, 문헌 연구 및 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 통해 출판서비스의 현실태와 수준, 인식도를 살펴보았다.

Today, the archives strive to move towards more open and hospitable spaces for its users and to provide differentiated services based on detailed user needs and behavior for their own survival and development. Building services for children is especially vital in changing public awareness and expanding the customer base. Therefore this study aims to present fundamental data required for improving exhibit services by understanding children users' perceptions and needs. For such purposes, this study examines the cases of both domestic and overseas exhibit services of presidential archives. Also, the study included the surveys of children and parents who have accompanied children visiting the presidential archive and experiencing the exhibit services. This study is meaningful in that it conducted the evaluation of archival exhibit services in the perspective of the children users. In addition, the analysis of children's satisfactions and needs can contribute to the spread of archival culture and the revitalization of children users' visitations.

Archival organizations have been evolving to varying users' needs. The main functional focus of earlier archival organizations has inclined to collection and preservation of data, but their current interests expand to utilization of the data collected. Therefore, today's archival organizations endeavor to procure user-oriented archival information service. This study highlights the programs initiated in last two years by 'Service Innovation Team', a special task force of National Archives of Korea organized in 2005, and presents comparative analysis of those programs with respect to the existing archival systems of National Archives and Records Administration of USA and The National Archives in UK. Additionally, the study, while emphasizing the importance of enlarging and diversifying service programs as well as promoting public awareness over archive resources, introduces the service standards of advanced nations as benchmarks for future archival service policies of pertinent organizations.
