Abstract

As the Internet becomes a part of the infrastructure of the world, so will the process of creating useful digital libraries become an important part of our society. Previous generations of Internet were focused mainly on the technology. Today the focus has shifted to searching information usefully over the intelligent Digital Library. However the tension between new technologies and daily information needs was never resolved but was significantly noted by many researches. Recent findings show us to gain some feeling for the balancing act in information systems between technological and sociological factors. They shows that consideration in sociology is needed for the sound deployment after installation of digital library systems. This study focused on the importance of effects of non-technical factors for the new DL service period. Experiences and documents in the first generation DL period were scrutinized and analysed systematically. As a result, we find new idea, socio-technical approaches to the new DL services.

인터넷이 점차 실세상의 한 부분이 됨에 따라서 유용한 디지털도서관을 만드는 것이 우리사회에서 중요한 일이 되었다. 인터넷의 이전 세대에서는 주로 기술에 주안점을 두어 시스템을 개발하였다. 그러나 오늘날 논점은 지능적 디지털도서관을 통하여 유용하게 정보를 찾는 것으로 바뀌어가고 있다. 새로운 기술과 일상의 정보 요구사이에서 긴장은 풀리지 않고 있다는 지적이 계속 이어지고 있는데, 최근의 연구결과는 정보시스템 상에서 기술적 요소와 사회학적 요소 간에 균형이 필요하다는 것을 보여준다. 사회학적 요소에 대한 배려는 디지털도서관 시스템을 설치한 이후 계속 발전시켜나가는데 반드시 필요하다는 것을 보여준다. 본 연구는 새로운 DL 서비스가 요구되는 시대에 비 기술적 요소의 영향에 대한 중요성에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 첫 번째 세대의 DL 개발에 있어서 경험과 문건들이 체계적으로 검토 분석되었다. 분석결과 사회${\cdot}$기술적 접근방법이 새로운 서비스를 위해 절실히 필요하다는 명제를 제시하였다.
