The prototype of electronic journal is proposed on the notion of functional properties of internet or web. Additionally, the methodology for the friendly relationship between print oriented journal and electronic one is also suggested. The electronic journal is consisted of 6 menus, administration area, community service, what\`s up & current papers. category service, searching and extend retrieval service. And the electronic journal is designed not only on the succession of the attributes of printed journal, but also on tole emphasis of its electrical properties. But at the end of document, it is mentioned that in the near future all the information service related media or mechanisms will be synthesized and uniquely evolved on the succession of those properties.

This study is to analyze a cost-benefit and a cost-effectiveness on the basis of number full-text downloaded from IDEAL in the electronic journals consortium of Y University Library during 2000. The result of this study shows that Y University Library used more the combined print and electronic journals than only electronic journals, and in the case of the analysis on the cost-benefit, there was no benefit, but the cost-effectiveness was very high. Based upon the result of this study, it suggests that academic libraries request a trial from the information agency and carry out user instruction analysis of varied use statistics, user satisfaction survey so as to promote use of electronic journals.

The purpose of this study is to select factors that its impact on subscription of the package type e-journal in Korea. In order to accomplish this study, factors to select the package-type electronic journal are discussed through preceded research literatures, and presented the factors for subscription of the package-type electronic journal based on KESLI materials. As a result, ten evaluation categories and thirty-four evaluation factors are selected as e-journal evaluation elements.

In the print world libraries have served as the archival repository for journals that they owned. In the age of digital information, however, with the licensing of electronic journals libraries purchase access to journal contents rather than paying for ownership. Libraries note the potential benefits of electronic journals, but also quake at the thought of inaccessible electronic journal contents caused by lack of preservation, changing technology, or publisher requirements. It is real that libraries have not yet stepped in to create archives of the electronic journals they are purchasing. In the digital environments, publishers, libraries, and other information providers are not the independent units that we used to be. It will take us all working together to solve the problem of preserving access to electronic journals. Thus, it is reasonable that a national library would be charge of making a comprehensive archiving policy on electronic journals, and that cooperative agreements of local libraries can help divide responsibility for different subject areas or materials.

과학기술계 협회는 첨단 산업기술정보의 주요 생산집단이다. 이들 협회가 발간하는 저널들은 책자 형태가 대부분이다. 저널의 오프라인 발간은 정보의 파급에 한계가 있으며 결과적으로 정보이용을 제한한다. 그러므로 협회 전자저널의 온라인 발간은 대단히 중요하다. 하지만 대부분 협회의 정보 인프라 환경이 열악하여 전자저널 생성 모델 자체가 부재한 상황이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 협회 오프라인 저널의 전자소스를 다양하게 활용하여 검색 가능한 전자저널을 생성할 수 있는 모델을 연구하고 개발하였다. 향후, 현 모델을 바탕으로 오프라인 저널을 배제한 순수한 온라인 저널 출판이 가능한 개선된 모델을 연구할 계획이다.

The purpose of this study is to improve the effectiveness of the e-journal process in libraries and information organizations by identifying the relative priority of each criterion in the e-journal consortium. To identify criteria in the process, this study employed a content analysis of previous studies on e-journal and consortium. A total of 73 criteria were found, and these were classified into three categories and 21 sub-categories. Then, the relative weight of each criterion was calculated using an AHP technique. This technique is one of useful tools for collecting experts' opinions. The AHP findings indicated that the cost of the e-journal was the most important criterion in the e-journal consortium. This is followed in priority by users' needs, usage statistics, and others. Using these findings, librarians and information professionals might be able to identify priorities in the e-journal work process, and to improve the effectiveness of the process.

The purpose of this study was to provide suggestions for the effective management and user services of electronic journals in university libraries. In order to do that literature reviews, case studies, and survey questionnaires were conducted. The case studies involved six university libraries, which were analyzed based on accessing, cataloging and user services. Questionnaires consisting of forty-seven items in eight parts, including selection and subscription of electronic journals were distributed to the libratians who were in charge of managing electronic journals. Following an analysis on the survey, guidelines for effective management and user services of electronic journals were suggested.

Libraries are encountering hostile conditions around journal licensing such as limited budget, the high price of packages, and vendor-led negotiation. They need to collect and analyze usage data of electronic journals to develop electronic journal collection appropriate for their own circumstances. The purpose of this study is to suggest an practical guideline for librarians' analysis of electronic journal usage statistics. For this, the study reviewed related previous studies and examined current state on usage statistics provided from COUNTER release 3 compliant vendors. Finally this study proposed five core statistics including full-text article request per journal, journal using rate, price per full-text article request, most use group, and low use group, and further discussed how to use them effectively for the electronic journal management.

This study is aiming to develop an evaluation model considering electronic journal's properties and terms of subscription. As the first step to develop an evaluation model, this study analyzed features of electronic journals and various terms of subscription through reviewing literature. Second, it developed the evaluation model for electronic journals by using proper evaluation indicators which were extracted from previous studies on the evaluation journals and considering the terms of ScienceDirect subscription. Third, this evaluation model was applied to the 99 journals in the field of mechanical engineering in ScienceDirect. As a result of the evaluation, it was found out that there were variations in the value of journals between in 2000 and 2007. Some implications regarding e-journal subscription were also added.

The purpose of this study is to understand the acceptance of the electronic journals among undergraduate students. Using a survey questionnaire, this study collected the data collected from 813 students taking 11 courses offered in five different universities. The levels of electronic jounal and its service awareness appeared to be low as 63.7% and 59.9% respectively. Only 43.8% of the respondents report their experience of using Korean e-journals. There is a statistically significant difference in use among college groups and students' major of study. E-journals are mostly used off-campus and within the library, using simple search techniques. In spite of difficulties in search and gathering information, the satisfaction level marked above average. Reasons of nonuse are lack of opportunity and knowledge. However, 93.8% of nonusers report a willingness to use the e-journals in the future. LIS students show higher e-journal awareness and use experience compared to non-LIS students. Yet, the levels of using simple search techniques and satisfaction show little difference from those of the non-LIS students. The findings of the study suggest implications to promote the acceptance of e-journals among college students.
