Abstract

This paper shows that digital libraries can be understood through STIN models which emphasize interactions among components in networks. The enrollment strategies in the American Memory make human and non-human factors interact. Specifically, this paper articulates that the relationships between users and collections, between users and staff, and between users and users are closely linked through the strategies . Observing the linkages among these components ,this paper found that the enrollment processes not only draw users to the American Memory, but also alter roles of components and creates new roles and players for them. The alterations of roles and the resulting changes of relationships among components mean that digital libraries lead to transform the grounding of knowledge works in a society.

디지털도서관은 그것을 구성하는 다양한 요소들이 상호작용 하는 네트워크로 이해될 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 사회 ${\cdot}$ 문화적 맥락에서 ICT를 연구하는 사회정보학적 관점에서 제안된 STIN모델을 적용하여 LC에서 개발한 디지털도서관인 American Memory를 분석하였다. American Memory의 핵심 이용자로 파악된 미국 초 ${\cdot}$ 중 ${\cdot}$ 고등학교 교사와 학생들을 디지털도서관으로 끌어들이기 위하여 개발된 참여전략과정은 이용자. 디지털장서, 직원들 간의상호작용을 유도하고, 그들 간 관계와 역할을 변경시키면서 지식작업의 기반에 영향을 미치고 있음을 발견하였다. 본 연구는 디지털도서관에 대한 분석과 이해에 새로운 방향을 제시해 줄 것이라고 기대한다.
