Abstract

The study analyzed the relationship between self-cognition level of information literacy(SCLIL) and library anxiety(LA). SCLIL was 3.72 point, LA was 2.47 point, and these results are similar to previous studies. SCLIL and LA are correlated each other significantly(r=r=-0.493, p<0.05). Higher SCLIL leads to lower LA. Also, the study found the main factors of LA was lack of methods to access information', 'lack of confidence in evaluating the information's relevance.' For those who are going to major in Library and Information Science, it is found that they have less LA and lower SCLIL compared to those who are not willing to major in Library and Information Science, and this shows a tendency to downplay their own abilities, while tending a more positive image of libraries. Based on the results, recommendations were made to use social and psychological standard tests in order to elaborately and diversely reflect individual information user's psychological aspect.

본 연구는 정보활용능력에 대한 자기 인지 수준과 도서관 불안 사이의 관계를 분석하였다. 99명의 대학 1학년생을 대상으로 정보활용능력 인지 수준과 도서관 불안을 측정하였고, 측정 결과, 정보활용능력 인지 수준은 3.72점, 도서관 불안은 2.47점으로 조사되어, 이전 연구들과 유사하였다. 정보활용능력 인지 수준과 도서관 불안은 의미 있는 수준의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었고(r=-0.493, p<0.05), 정보활용능력 인지 수준이 높을수록 도서관 불안이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 주요한 도서관 불안요인으로는 '정보접근 방법에 대한 인지 부족', '정보의 적합성 평가에 대한 자신감 결여' 등이 제시되었다. 문헌정보학을 전공하려는 학생들의 경우, 그렇지 않은 학생들 보다 정보활용능력 수준과 도서관 불안 점수 둘 다 낮은 것으로 나타나, 자신들이 가지고 있는 문헌정보학적인 배경을 과소평가하는 경향이 있으나, 도서관에 대해서는 긍정적인 이미지를 갖고 있는 것으로 해석하였다. 정보 이용자 개인의 심리적인 측면을 더욱 다양하고 정교하게 반영할 수 있는, 사회 심리 테스트들을 활용할 것을 제안하였다.
