Abstract

The amount of online scholarly information rapidly expands in numerous resources, while user behavior demands single search box interface like Google Scholar. Despite scholarly values of e-resources libraries provide, users consider Google Scholar as the most efficient research tool attracted by its speed, simplicity, ease of use, and convenience. Characteristics of Metasearch System compared with Google Scholar are analyzed from perspectives of the interface and e-resource. Based on usage statistics of Metasearch System along with a link resolver in one academic library, e-resource accessibility patterns and information seeking behaviors of subject-specific areas are investigated for electronic information services.

정보환경의 변화에 따라 도서관과 웹 검색엔진의 차별성이 있음에도 불구하고 이용자들은 인터넷의 자원과 학술데이터베이스의 자원을 혼동하고 있다. 특히 구글스칼라와 같은 상업용 검색엔진의 검색속도 와 조작 편의성이라는 상대적 장점 때문에 학술데이터베이스가 갖고 있는 학술적 가치와 신뢰성에도 불구하고 이용자는 구글스칼라를 선호하고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 구글스칼라가 갖는 장점을 반영한 메타서치시스템의 특성과 가치를 인터페이스 측면과 전자정보원 측면에서 분석하였다. 또한 이러한 새로운 검색채널로서 메타서치시스템과 이와 연계된 링크리졸버를 이용하는 대학도서관의 이용통계를 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 구글스칼라와 차별화될 수 있는 도서관만의 특징인 이용자 이용행태 패턴과 주제별 전자정보 이용행태를 도출하여 전자정보 서비스의 방안으로 활용할 수 있음을 조사하였다.
