Abstract

This study analyzed the characteristics of library service users' information seeking behavior based on the grounded theory methodology. After interviewing twelve undergraduate students, the researcher coded the data based on the grounded theory methodology. As a result of the entire coding processes, this study constructed the library service users' information seeking behavior model. According to the model, the following ten factors are important when explaining library service users' information seeking behavior: the information users' environment, other people, users' experiences, recognition of information sources, information provided, memory, a need-creating environment, information gathering, information use, and satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction.

본 연구는 도서관 서비스이용자와의 인터뷰자료를 근거이론방법론을 기초로 분석하여 도서관 서비스이용자의 정보추구행태상의 특성을 파악하고자하였으며 이를 토대로 도서관 서비스이용자의 정보추구행태모델을 제시해 보고자 하였다. 연구결과 도출된 모델에 따르면 도서관 서비스이용자의 정보추구행태를 설명하는데 있어서 다음의 열 가지 요소가 중요한 것으로 나타났다: 정보이용자의 환경, 의미 있는 주변인, 정보제공, 정보원의 인지, 개인의 과거경험, 기억, 정보수집, 요구를 발생시키는 사건 혹은 환경의 발생, 정보이용, 만족 혹은 불만족의 경험.
