The user information logs contain 107,369 age data, 106,918 gender data, 106,838 residential data. The circulation information logs contain 536,083 circulation user data, 6,509,369 circulation count data, and the service usage information logs contain 82,813 data. For the analysis of characteristics by user group, the data were used for analyzing user status by age, gender, residence and circulation status by year, month, day. In addition, this study conducts FGI(Focus Group Interview) and linkage analysis with external data to identify factors for analysis results. Based on analysis results, improvement methods for helping library make effective decision-making were proposed. This study analyze empirically user and circulation status based on bigdata logs, and it has significance for being different form proceeding researches with less analysis data.
