Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest some improvements of information service on the Internet through a comparative analysis of information use patterns of science and technology researchers in universities, research institutes and business enterprises. We classify information use patterns into information use purpose, information use types, a frequently used/referenced portal site, the initial method of internet search, information service selection factors and the channels of off-line information acquisition. The results of this study are as follows: First, according to frequency analysis, there are some information use patterns among S & T research groups. Second, according to ${\chi}^2$ analysis, there are some significant differences in ratio of information use patterns among them.

본 연구는 대학교, 공공연구소, 기업체 과학기술 연구자들의 소속 기관별 정보이용행태에 대한 차이분석을 통해 정보서비스 개선점을 도출하고자 실시하였다. 정보이용행태는 정보이용 목적, 정보이용 유형, 주 이용 포털사이트, 최초 인터넷 검색 방법, 정보서비스 선택요인, 오프라인 정보획득 경로로 구분하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소속 기관별 정보이용행태 빈도분석 결과, 대학교, 공공연구소, 기업체의 과학기술 연구자들의 정보이용행태가 조금씩 다른 양상을 나타내고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 차이분석 결과 주 이용 포털 사이트를 제외한 나머지 변수에서 통계적으로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.
