Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the major features of Next Generation Library Catalogs. 'Next Generation Melvyl Pilot' of University of California Library System and 'SearchWorks' of Stanford University Library are examined. While the former is developed, based on OCLC WorldCat Local, the latter is based on the Blacklight, an Open Source Catalog Software. Both commonly provide the features, including enriched contents, facet navigation, keyword searching, relevancy ranking of search results, and user contribution, etc., but some functions vary in scopes and contents. Also, it seems that both are in process of development rather than complete implementations.

이 연구의 목적은 차세대 도서관 목록의 주요한 기능적 특성을 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 최근 OCLC의 WorldCat Local 기반으로 구축된 University of California 도서관의 '차세대 멜빌 파일로트'와 오픈소스 소프트웨어 Blacklight 기반으로 구축된 Stanford University 도서관의 'SearchWorks'의 사례를 분석하였다. 이들은 차세대 도서관 목록의 전형적 기능인 확장된 콘텐츠, 패싯 네비게이션, 키워드 검색, 검색결과의 적합성 순위화, 이용자 참여 기능을 모두 제공하지만, 그 범위와 내용은 다소 차이점을 보이며, 아직은 완성형이기보다 계속 수정 보완하며 발전해가는 과정에 있다고 할 수 있다.
