In the current information environment, the concept of a website has been transformed from the repository of information to means of accessing information which can communicate and interact with users. To function well as an accessing tool to information, the information embedded in a website should be organized in a way that users can easily understand the whole informational structure. This aspect of a website might be more important to a university's website. However, the informational structures which current university's websites adopt do not reflect their users' information needs. They construct their structure uniformly, and it causes the decrease of the websites' usability. To solve these problems, this study proposes a new and systematical way of constructing a university's website which can reflect users' information needs and ensure the usability of the websites.

대학도서관 웹사이트는 도서관의 이용을 원활하게 하고 정보자료에의 접근을 용이하게 하기 위해서 구성된다. 따라서, 웹사이트를 통해 도서관 서비스에 대한 안내, 이용자의 편의를 위한 온라인 참고봉사 서비스, 과거 수동적인 자세가 아닌 능동적인 정보제공서비스 뿐만 아니라 다양한 이용자의 사용행태를 파악하여 이를 통해서 서비스의 질을 높이고, 이용자의 요구사항을 파악하여 도서관 서비스를 개선해나가는 것이 중요한 화두가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 충남대학교 도서관 웹사이트를 대상으로 설문조사(Questionnaire)와 발견적 평가(Heuristic Evaluation)를 통해서 대학도서관 웹사이트의 사용성에 있어서의 문제점을 발견하고 개선점을 제시한다.

아프리카의 인터넷 이용인구는 3%로 웹 정보접근성이 부족하다. 디지털 정보자원의 주체인 대학도서관은 정보접근의 수단을 넘어 의사소통의 역할을 담당하기 때문에 대학도서관 웹사이트 신뢰성은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 신뢰성 가이드 10개 요소를 중심으로 아프리카 중부지역의 10개국 14개 대학의 신뢰성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 잘 지켜지지 않은 항목은 정보의 정확성, 정보의 최신성, 오류제한, 웹사이트 기관의 신뢰성으로 나타났다. 이는 웹사이트의 기능과 디자인보다는 콘텐츠로 정보의 정확성, 충실함, 신뢰성에 관한 요인들 이었다. 따라서 운영자는 자관의 사용을 배려한 콘텐츠의 정기점검으로 페이지의 정확한 연결, 안내페이지와 정보페이지의 명확성, 최신정보의 유지, 오류를 최소화 하여야 한다. 또한 도움말 제공과 반복적인 페이지를 제한하여 신뢰성을 갖추어야 하며 이를 토대로 웹사이트를 구축해야 할 것이다.

Many previous studies show that some website evaluation factors will influence the user satisfaction and revisit to the website. The website evaluation criteria from the previous studies related to the university library website evaluation were classified into five assessment criteria which are design, contents, user interface, reliability, and site management. In the results, some significant suggestions were found out. User satisfaction is seriously affected by user interface, and user's intention to revisit is influenced by contents and reliability, but there may not be a close connection between them.
