Abstract

This study analyses the questions and answers contained in the Knowledge Information Database of the collaborative digital reference service, 'Ask a librarian'. And based on the results of status of user requests, this study draws information usage behavior in the early stages of the service was derived. 1,124 Knowledge Information Database items out of 3,506 cases was analyzed by nine criterion. ① Number of questions and whether to be reference questions, ② Subject and keywords of the question, ③ Purpose of the question, ④ Type of question, ⑤ User's information request, ⑥ Information source and reference services provided by the librarian, ⑦ Number of days to answer, ⑧ Level of the participating library, ⑨ Question type by topic. As a results of analysis, first, users asked for reference questions from various topics as needed, rather than one from a similar topic at a time, but more than half of the total pure reference questions were from the field of library information science. Second, about 71.35% of users were using the 'Ask a librarian' service to recommend a list of information resources related to a particular topic or research problem, and there were also questions that required consultation on the reading situation. Third, the most preferred sources of information for users were bibliography, and in the case of online information sources, users did not relatively prefer them. Fourth, the number of days required to answer was able to confirm significant differences depending on the type of question and the level of the participating library. Fifth, 31.33% of the purpose of the general field question showed that were self-generated.

본 연구는 협력형 디지털 참고서비스인 '사서에게 물어보세요'의 지식정보DB에 수록된 질문과 답변을 분석하여 이용자 요구현황을 파악해 이를 바탕으로 서비스 초창기의 정보 이용행태를 도출하였다. 지식정보DB 3,506건 중 1,124건의 DB 항목 데이터를 ① 질문의 개수와 참고 질문 여부, ② 질문의 주제와 키워드, ③ 질문의 목적, ④ 질문의 유형, ⑤ 이용자의 정보 요구, ⑥ 사서가 제공한 정보원과 참고 서비스, ⑦ 답변의 소요 일수와 상관관계, ⑧ 참여 도서관 수준, ⑨ 주제별 질문 유형, 총 9가지 기준으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 이용자는 유사한 주제의 질문을 한 번에 하나씩 요청하는 것이 아닌, 필요에 따라 다양한 주제의 참고 질문을 요청하였지만, 절반 이상의 전체 순수 참고질문은 문헌정보학 분야의 질문이었다. 둘째, 약 71.35%의 이용자는 '사서에게 물어보세요' 서비스를 특정 주제나 연구 문제와 관련된 정보 자원의 목록을 추천받기 위해 이용하고 있었으며 독서상황에 대한 참고 상담을 요구하는 질문도 존재하였다. 셋째, 이용자가 가장 선호하는 정보원은 서지 및 서지사항으로 나타났으며, 온라인 정보원의 경우 이용자는 상대적으로 선호하지 않았다. 넷째, 답변의 소요 일수는 질문의 유형과 참여 도서관의 수준에 따라 유의미한 차이가 남을 확인할 수 있었다. 다섯째, 총류 분야 질문의 목적을 분석한 결과 약 31.33%이 이용자 스스로가 해결 당위성을 가진 자발적 질문으로 나타났다.
