As social media draws attention as a business tool, organizations, large or small, are trying to exploit social media in their business. However, lack of understanding the characteristics of each social media led them to develop a naive strategy for dealing with social media. Thus, this study aims to deepen the understanding by comparatively analyzing how social media users perceive (the image of) each social media. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs, Communities and Cyworld were chosen for our study and data from 132 respondents were analyzed using multidimensional scaling technique. The results show that there are meaningful differences in users' perception of social media attributes, which are grouped into four; information feature, motivation, promotion tool, usability. It is also analyzed whether such differences can be found between male and female users. (Such differences are also analyzed in both male and female users' perceptions.) Further, we discuss some implications of the research results for both practitioners and researchers.

코로나블루 발생 원인을 분석해 우리 사회의 정신건강 증진 방안을 찾아보았다. 여성이 남성보다 코로나블루가 더 심했으며, 연령에 따른 차이는 없었다. 코로나19 이후 외부활동이 줄고, 가계경제는 어려워져 코로나블루가 늘었다. 늘어난 미디어이용량과 부정적인 미디어정보문제는 코로나블루를 증가시켰다. 온라인활동은 코로나블루에 영향을 주지 않았다. 미디어이용으로 증가한 사회문제관심은 미디어이용이 코로나블루에 영향을 주는 과정에서 부분매개효과를 갖고 있었다. 우울증을 줄이기 위해서는 개인의 외부활동을 늘리고, 여성과 경제적 약자의 사회 경제적인 여건을 더 개선하고, 미디어의 재난정보 품질을 높이고, 수용자는 미디어를 적정하게 이용해야 한다고 강조했다.

In an effort to apply IT to practices of learning, universities are trying to implement e-Learning systems and expanding the extent of their usage. Nowadays, e-Learning systems are not only used for conducting web-based distance learning, but also used for supporting traditional classes education by encouraging communication and information sharing between instructors and learners or among the learners. There is relatively lack of studies on the exploitation of e-Learning systems in the traditional classes, in comparison with a distance education. Specifically, howe-Learning systems could support the traditional class and/or which benefits e-Learning systems could offer in the classes are among the important issues. In this study, we suggest that e-Learning systems would be the rich media to communicate and exchange information among people who participate in a class. We derive key variables like media richness and media experience from Media Richness Theory and from Channel Expansion Theory. Moreover, Media usefulness and Satisfaction of a learner with e-Learning system is drawn from the literature on IS success. We examine the effects of perceived media richness, media usefulness, and media experience on leaner's satisfaction with e-Learning systems. In addition, we also investigate learner's media usefulness perception which is positively related to media richness and media experience. Finally, learner's experience with e-Learning systems affects perceived media richness. Based on the results of an empirical test. we first suggest that perceived media richness with e-Learning systems contributes to increase media usefulness and satisfaction of a learner. Second, media experience is an important predictor of media richness and media usefulness perception. Consequently, the result can support Channel Expansion Theory. Finally, media usefulness perception affects learner's satisfaction with e-Learning systems.

교통정보제공에 따른 운전자의 반응 행태에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 메시지의 구성과 표현방법, 제공시기, 제공지점, 제공매체, 소통상황에 따른 변화 등 세부적인 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 소통상황에 따라 정보매체의 이용패턴이 어떻게 변화하는지를 분석하고, 매체의 특성에 따라 이를 재분류하여 각 소통상황에 따른 정보매체별 우회이용률 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 기존 연구와는 달리 정보매체의 분류기준으로 소통상황과 정보매체 이용률간의 상관계수 부호를 이용하였으며, 통계적 타당성을 갖도록 수동이용매체, 능동이용매체, 과거경험으로 군집하였다. 군집한 매체별 이용률과 소통상황 간의 상관분석 결과, 수동이용매체의 경우 통행속도와 양(+)의 상관관계를 가지고 있었으나, 능동이용매체와 과거경험의 경우 음(-)의 상관관계를 갖고 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이는 주말과 추석연휴 모두 동일하였다. 정체와 서행상황에서는 과거경험에 의한 우회결정의 비율이 가장 높았으나, 원활 상황에서는 수동이용매체를 이용한 우회결정이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 혼잡이 심화될수록 수동이용매체의 이용률은 감소되는 반면, 능동이용매체와 과거경험을 이용하는 우회율은 증가한다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 향후 주말과 추석연휴 시 우회를 통한 교통량 분산전략을 수립할 경우, 소통상황과 매체특성에 맞는 전략을 수립해야할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a media literacy program for young children and explore its applicability and effects on young children's media literacy learning. Media literacy, as a concept combined literacy, or the ability to read and write, with media, is about more than just consuming information or understanding technological aspects of media, but is defined as expanded information and communication skills that are responsive to the changing nature of information in human environment. In order to develop media literacy program for young children, the goal and objectives, content areas, teaching methods and materials, and evaluation of media literacy program were searched and established. The subjects of this study consisted of a total of 51 children at age 5-6. The research had been implemented for 8 weeks integrated into daily activities of kindergarten children. Data were collected by interviewing with children using animations, and children-made-cartoons during the pre- and post-tests, and were analyzed quantitatively using rating criteria. The results of this study showed that there were significant differences found in children's abilities to reception, critical thinking, and creativity. This research made a major contribution to provision of a ground for developing an effective media literacy program for young children.

This study examines the factors influencing internet protocol television (IPTV) usage intention. Using Davis's technology acceptance model (TAM) and DeLone and McLean's model of information system success, this study investigates the effects of information system quality (information quality, system quality, and service quality) and media quality on IPTV use in terms of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and usage intention. We examined the proposed model by employing structural equation modeling and survey data from 222 IPTV users. The results indicate that information quality, service quality, and media quality had significant effects on perceived usefulness and that information quality and media quality had significant effects on perceived ease of use. However, system quality had no effect on perceived usefulness or perceived ease of use. In addition, perceived ease of use influenced perceived usefulness, and perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use influenced IPTV usage intention. Further, the stability and reliability of IPTV services encouraged IPTV use, and successful IPTV services showed high media quality.

Social network services have recently changed from environments for simply building connections among users to open platforms for generating and sharing various forms of information. Existing user reputation computation methods are inadequate for determining the trust in users on social media where explicit ratings are rare, because they determine the trust in users based on user profile, explicit relations, and explicit ratings. To solve this limitation of previous research, we propose a user reputation computation method suitable for the social media environment by incorporating implicit as well as explicit ratings. Reliable user reputation is estimated by identifying malicious information raters, modifying explicit ratings, and applying them to user reputation scores. The proposed method incorporates implicit ratings into user reputation estimation by differentiating positive and negative implicit ratings. Moreover, the method generates user reputation scores for individual categories to determine a given user's expertise, and incorporates the number of users who participated in rating to determine a given user's influence. This allows reputation scores to be generated also for users who have received no explicit ratings, and, thereby, is more suitable for social media. In addition, based on the user reputation scores, malicious information providers can be identified.

This study was carried out to examine the awareness and use of social media tools by library and information professionals (LIPs) in selected academic libraries in South-west, Nigeria and the challenges they face in the use of social media technologies. Descriptive survey was adopted for this study. The population of the study comprised 217 library and information professionals from 10 selected academic libraries in south-west, Nigeria. A total enumeration technique was used to cover all the library and information professionals, 136 respondents filled and returned the questionnaire, given a response rate of 62.7%. The questionnaire was used as instrument for data collection. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data collected. The findings show that majority of LIPs possessed a high level of awareness in the use of social media tools. The study also revealed that social network tools were highly used by LIPs in the academic libraries studied and the types of social media used by LIPs was also revealed. The major challenges faced in the use of social media include inadequate power supply, lack of Internet access and time constraints. The paper recommended that to enhance the use of social media by LIPs, there is need for constant awareness of the importance of social media tools to LIPs and libraries in effective service delivery, LIPs should be ready to learn, unlearn and be learned in the use of social media and university libraries should provide enabling environment such as internet connectivity, power supply and policy to guide LIPs in social media usage.
