Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a theoretical framework and practical methodology to extend the scope of Library and Information Science by incorporating the usability evaluation of e-book, which has considerably increased in proportion in the digital library. By sirveying e-book users and through statistical analysis. it was found that rebuilding a set of usabllity evaluation factors for e-books is necessary to activate e-books in the digital libraries. This study inclusively presents a conceptual model of e-book usability evaluation and suggests guidelines for usability principles.

이 연구는 전자책의 이용성 평가를 문헌정보학 차원에서 접근한 탐험적인 연구로 이용성 평가를 통하여 문헌정보학의 연구영역을 확장해 나갈 필요가 있음을 밝히고, 이를 실현하기위한 이론적인 체계와 방법론을 제시하였다., 전자책의 이용성 평가를 실행하기 위하여 이용자, 목표, 과제, 시스템적 이용성 평가요소와 주관적 이용성 평가요소, 이용정황을 평가요소로 선정하였다. 설문조사를 통해 전자책 이용성 평가에 적합한 요소를 재구성하고, 각 평가요소들이 전자책 활성화에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 결과를 바탕으로 전자책의 이용성 평가 모형구현과 이용성평가를 위한 세부지침을 도출하였다.
