The wide spread of smartphones and the growth of the number of internet users are reshaping the SNS (Social Network Service). Merging into other service areas and creating new business models with high profits, SNS is no more a service simply providing personal connections. Now SNS has positioned itself as a service platform. SNG (Social Network Game) is a new outcome utilizing SNS as a game platform and showing a rapid growth rate in a short period of time. The number of SNG users is expected to increase steadily. In this study, we examine whether SNG user motivations lead to flow experience and future intention to use. For that purpose, we conducted a survey with smartphone users. The results indicate that flow experience functions as a mediator and user motivations indirectly affect intention to use through flow experience. This paper concludes with discussions on findings and suggestions for future research.

The computational science and engineering field, which combines basic science and computing technology, has emerged as a third scientific methodology, following theories and experiments. This study aimed to identify factors and relationships that affect the continued use of the computational science and engineering (CSE) platform for its successful operation, utilization, and diffusion. To that end, the quality factors of the platform were derived by combining the information system success model and the technology acceptance model. These factors affected user satisfaction and intention to reuse through users' perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use of the platform. An empirical analysis was conducted through a questionnaire survey of 373 users of the EDISON platform, a representative CSE platform in Korea. The results revealed that all quality factors have a positive influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Specifically, information quality has a significant influence on perceived ease of use, and system quality has a significant influence on perceived usefulness. Perceived ease of use has a greater impact on user satisfaction than perceived usefulness, and satisfaction affects intention to reuse. The results can contribute to the development of CSE platforms and the development strategy to expand the number of users.

This study aims to analyze usability of public libraries' metaverse platform. This study also examines factors that affect usability and immersion of metaverse platform of Gangbuk culture information library, Hanbat library in Daejeon, and Mapo Central library. In order to conduct this study, 60 college students participated in online survey and experiment. There was a statistically significant positive relationship between learnability and usability, and between GUI and immersion in every library. Learnability and usability of Gangbuk culture information library were statistically significantly higher than other libraries. On the other hand, GUI score and immersion of Hanbat library was significantly higher than other libraries. However, given that there were few users connected to metaverse platform, there was no significant difference in interactivity among libraries. This study examines characteristics (including strengths and weaknesses) of metaverse platform of each library. It is expected that the results of this study could contribute to the improvement of usability of public library's metaverse platform.
