Abstract

This study aims to explore the status and adoption pattern of next generation OPAC functionalities employed in Korean academic libraries. The paper is useful for future planning of next generation OPAC in academic libraries. This study firstly extracted major functionalities of next generation OPAC by reviewing literature and then the pilot test was conducted to validate them. The websites of 191 academic libraries in Korea were surveyed. For the accuracy of the data, the two researchers examined in redundant. The collected data were analyzed using PASW Statistics 18. 'Simple search box' was found to be the most popular function. The second popular function was 'search within results'. A few libraries used the 'clustering', 'open search plug-in', 'sort by relevance', and 'correct spelling error'.

본 연구는 우리나라 대학도서관의 차세대 OPAC 기능 채택 현황을 조사 분석한 것으로 새로운 OPAC 시스템을 도입하거나 시스템개편을 계획하고 있는 도서관에 유용하게 쓰일 것이다. 본 연구에서는 선행연구들을 검토하여 차세대 OPAC 기능의 예비항목들을 추출하고 이것을 검증하기 위해 파일럿 테스트를 실시하였다. 본연구에서의 조사대상은 우리나라 191개 대학도서관 전수로 하였으며 데이터의 정확성을 기하기 위해 두 명의 연구원이 중복 조사하였다. 수집된 데이터는 PASW Statistics 18을 사용하여 분석하였다. 가장 많이 채택된 차세대 OPAC 기능은 간단검색창이었고, 그 다음은 결과내검색이었다. 클러스터링, 오픈서치플러그인, 적합성순정렬, 철자오류 수정은 소수의 도서관만이 사용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
