This study attempts to identify users' potential information needs in a medium-sized academic library by analyzing reference questions raised by library users for 64 days from October 10th to December 13th, 2000. A total of 474 reference questions were analysed of which only 10.1% were pure reference questions that dealt with the professional knowledge of reference librarians. 71.0% had nothing to do with professional knowledge, being directional(29.3%), mechanic(23.8%), and library policy related(l7.9%). Improvements in sign system and guiding materials in the library should be made to deliver reference services of good quality to academic library users.

최근 전산화의 세계적인 추세는 정보의 공유와 공동활용에 있다. 그러나 국내의 사정은 모든 도서관이 이런 필요성을 인정하면서도 자관의 이해득실 때문에 어려운 현실이다. 코넷협의회는 이러한 필요성을 바탕으로 1994년 국내 대학도서관끼리 최초로 발족되어 상호신뢰와 호양의 정신으로 운영되고 있다. 물론 현재 만족스러운 상황은 아니지만 국내의 선례가 없기에 나름대로 현장에서 최선을 다하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 코넷협의회 발족 및 운영 현황과 시스템 관리자가 유의해야 될 사항 등을 사례별로 논하고자 한다.

Library and information science professionals have to grasp user's needs and make the best decisions when designing, acquiring, and managing library information systems. However, it is not easy for them to make the decision owing to the lack of an understanding of the characteristics of a specific user group in computer-based information systems in libraries. The aim of this study was to provide information on the characteristics and abilities of specific user groups such as male & female student groups, undergraduate & graduate ones, Sciences and Humanities majored ones etc. The actual OPAC systems were searched by specific student user groups in selected academic libraries in both Republic of Korea and the States for the purpose(Author, Title, and Subject search). Ouestionnaire was prepared and administered to Korean college students in the city of Taegu, Korea and adjacent area. Two hundred and seven usable questionnaires were obtained and analyzed. These were analyzed using descriptive, inferential statistics, and SPSS software. The major findings by data analysis of this study were described in chapters 4 and 5 of this paper in detail. Also, conclusions were drawn from the findings in this paper, and recommendations were proposed when designing, adopting, or managing a new system.

본 연구의 목적은 OPAC의 이용자 인터페이스에 관한 기존의 연구들과 Web에 공개된 각 대학도서관의 OPAC 검색 인터페이스를 분석하여, 좀더 개선된 이용자 친화적인 인터페이스를 설계하는데에 도움을 주고자 하는 것이다. 연구를 위해서 국내 대학도서관 vendor(SOLARS, Glogate, Core정보시스템) 시스템을 중심으로 검색 인터페이스 요소들을 설정하였다.
