Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify how searchers reflect the search goal requirements associated with search questions in process and outcome. One query which has two different search goal requirements was given to subjects, that is, one is to increase high precision and the other is to increase high recall. Using ERIC ONTAP file through DIALOG online search system, 54 subjects conducted online searches twice for the high precision search and for the high recall search. Subjects employed significantly different search strategies, invested significantly different efforts, and achieved significantly different results between the high precision and the high recall search.

본 연구는 탐색자들이 탐색을 수행하는 과정에서 탐색질문에 내재하고 있는 탐색목적을 탐색과정에 반영하려고 노력하는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 54명 탐색자들을 선정하여 탐색질문을 제시하되 탐색목적을 정확률을 높이는 탐색과 재현율을 높이는 탐색으로 구분하여 두번 탐색하도록 요청하였다. 비록 동일한 탐색질문이라 할지라도 탐색목적이 다른 경우, 탐색자들은 탐색목적을 충족시키기 위해 노력하는지를 탐색자들이 투입하는 탐색노력 변수와 탐색결과 변수로 살펴보았다. DIALOG 정보 검색 시스템을 통해 ERIC ONTAP화일을 탐색한 결과 탐색자들은 정확률을 높이는 탐색과 재현율을 높이는 탐색에서 의미있게 재현율과 정확률로 측정했을 때 탐색자들은 두 종류의 탐색성취 요구수준을 의미있게 달성한 것으로 나타났다.
