이용자 불확실성에 관한 연구 - 에듀넷 시스템 활용을 중심으로 - = An Uncertainty Study: Focused on the Use of the Edunet System

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated users’ information seeking behaviors associated with their perceptions of uncertainty. For this study, the data was collected from an user group, who conducted information searches in the field of history, using the KERIS Edunet system and it was analyzed through the comparative analysis of the grounded theory. The results presented users’ uncertainty in the following stages: the identification of information needs, the selection of an information system, the selection of search terms, the actual use of the system, and the evaluation of search results. Major implications pertain to the enhancement of the Edunet system and related services. The former includes the improvement of the retrieval mechanisms related to the search and display interfaces. The latter emphasizes the consideration of the origin of uncertainty in the process of the services. In other words, the study suggested to consider the inadequacy of the system functions, the insufficiency of search experiences and the lack of such abilities of particular users.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 이용자들의 불확실성과 관련된 정보추구행태를 조사하였다. KERIS 에듀넷 시스템을 활용하여 국사 영역의 정보를 탐색하는 이용자집단을 대상으로 자료수집이 이루어졌고, 수집된 자료는 근거이론의 지속적인 비교분석에 의해 분석되었다. 연구결과는 정보요구의 식별, 정보시스템의 선정, 탐색어의 선택, 정보시스템의 이용 및 탐색결과의 평가 등 다섯 단계에 걸친 이용자 불확실성을 제시하였다. 에듀넷 시스템 및 관련 서비스의 제고로 나누어 제시된 본 연구의 제안점은 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 시스템 측면에서는 탐색 및 디스플레이 인터페이스 기능을 포함한 검색 메커니즘의 개선, 그리고 지원하는 자료의 확충으로 정리되었다. 서비스 측면에서는 정보서비스 제공자가 ‘불확실성의 근원’(origin of uncertainty)을 파악함이 중요하다는 점이 강조되었다. 즉 ‘근원’이 시스템 기능의 미흡함과 관련되어 있는지, 아니면 특정 이용자의 탐색경험 부족 또는 탐색능력 미비에만 기초한 것인지를 파악할 필요성을 제시하였다. 즉 제반 요인들을 고려한 정보서비스 제공자의 개입이 요구됨을 강조하였다.
