This study aims to analyze the distribution of authorities and responsibilities (ARs) to appraise public records, especially between national archives and central or federal government institutions. For this study, archives acts and policies of Britain, the USA, Canada, and Australia were selected for analysis. After attempts in reviewing the laws and policies governing ARs of appraisal and disposition, their level of concentration were investigated and compared. The analysis shows that the ARs to determine and approve which records have archival value and what are to be transferred to archives are mainly located in the national archives. In comparison, it is common that the national archives and government institutions share ARs in identifying the public records and in preparing and approving the disposal authorities. Furthermore, it identifies that the ARs can be distinguished by individual appraisal activities and expects to be used to discuss the ARs to appraise public records in Korea.

This study reviewed how the appraisal process of the research records of the cases of Australia and the United States can be planed and managed. As the records schedule includes the list of core records and the appropriate disposal instructions, as well as the fact that it is a critical records management tool, the records schedule was considered for the basis of the research records appraisal system. The results of this study are as follows. First, the research records have to be appraised by research project because research is carried out into project units, and records management is effective when combined with the business practice and basic structure of the operating system. Second, the research institutions have to plan and manage one general disposal schedule and plural disposal schedules in the different research divisions. Finally, the characteristics of research style and the research record of each research institution should be recognized. Moreover, there is a need to link the research appraisal process of each research institution and the national records management system because the research records of public research institutions are public goods. Although various cases were not analyzed, this study is significant that the meaning and role of the research records schedule was reorganized. Also, a discriminatory records schedule according to the characteristics of research records was suggested.

In our country, which has a strong presidential system, the power and responsibilities of the president are truly enormous. He is the head of state and diplomatic representative, and at the same time exercises authority over all areas of the country, including the legislature, judiciary, and constitutional institutions, along with his responsibilities as head of the executive branch. Considering these aspects, it can be said that presidential records created during the president's rule have a high level of national and historical significance and value compared to other public records. Considering these importance of presidential records, the Presidential Records Management Act was enacted in 2007 to establish an institutional mechanism to systematically manage presidential records. However, the current institutional basis for appraisal of presidential records is very weak. In this regard, there is a need to begin discussions on the appraisal of presidential records in earnest. Considering the national importance and symbolism of presidential records, it is necessary to establish a new direction for appraisal of presidential records that is different from general public records. Accordingly, in this paper, as part of reestablishing Korea's presidential records appraisal system, this article analyzed the status and problems of the current presidential records appraisal system and presented directions needed to find future improvement measures. To this end, as a premise for discussing the importance and value of presidential records, it examined the powers and responsibilities of the presidency as defined in our country's Constitution.Next, we looked at the appraisal system and method for presidential records that are currently in operation, and then analyzed the problems that emerged here in connection with the characteristics of presidential records. Based on this, it presented five perspectives on issues that need to be discussed publicly in the records management community in order to reestablish Korea's presidential records appraisal system in the future.

Archives should provide a web-based archival information service with good usability based on the understanding of users' needs. Thus, this study analyzed the usability of the National Archives of Korea (NAK) website's search service through expert and usability evaluations for various users and suggested improvement plans. A literature review, heuristic evaluation, one of the usability expert evaluation methods, and usability evaluation for users were performed. As a result of expert evaluation, the severity rating for the usability problem was highest regarding a match between the system and real world and the lowest in error prevention. In the usability evaluation, it was assumed that the user's background and whether the website's help was provided is associated with usability. Usability evaluation was conducted for 22 participants, including those majoring in records management, web/application developers, and people without such backgrounds. Furthermore, a presurvey, a five-second test, and search tasks were conducted in a row. The analysis based on usability components in ISO 9241-11: 2018, i.e., effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction, showed that web/application developers had the highest search effectiveness, and those majoring in records management showed high effectiveness only in the search for archival content services. Background factors did not affect efficiency, and the more familiar with the finding aids, the better the efficiency. Moreover, providing the website's help was found to be positively associated with effectiveness and satisfaction. This study suggests that the NAK website will offer a user-friendly interface and search function, expand help support, and display a consistent web interface.
